I've done all of the above. That annoyance always shows up between 10:30 and 11:30 p.m. EST. I'll let you know in a day or two how it worked out. Thanks so much for your help and patience.

Thanks Berny. Another friend suggested checking Start up and extensions. I see nothing that I have not put there and hasn't been there for years. I will do the AdwCleaner now.

AdwCleaner report :

Thanks so much for this. Most of that is done. But I can't figure out how to attach it since the file type is .txt which is not accepted. Save as a different file type or use one of the other media choices, neither of which I have any idea of how to work with.

Hi Berny: The key word in my question was "purports". It tries to look like a FB pop-up, which I don't believe they even have, but it's not. If you run afoul of FB you get taken to a special site where they explain the error of your ways.

Hi: I have this annoying pop-up on FB that purports to be from FB itself, telling me that I am"restricted" for so many hours because I posted non-regulation whatever. One strange thing about the pop-up is it seems to start a countdown at some point, ie the number of hours you will be 'restricted start at 24 and decrease hourly. A very good friend just died yesterday while on vacation with his wife and kids, so there's a lot going on that I have to keep track of and this is making me pull my hair out. It doesn't actually stop me from doing anything, it just pops up every time I do anything, eg: like, post, whatever, it pops up and I have to clear it before I can do the next thing. Windows Pro Ed 10.0, 19045; Firefox 116.0.3 64 bit; Kaspersky Total 21.3.10, updates every day. I did run a full scan on top of the automatic quick scan that runs every day, but it picks up nothing. Any help or ideas to get rid of this appreciated. TIA

Hi: Running Firefox on Win 10, and when I plug my Android phone in to try and run a scan as external drive, it doesn't show up. Is there a way to make this work, or another way to get my phone scanned?
