    I was chilling in some random sandbox lobbies then went back to my own lobby and got a scareware audio saying that my pc got a virus and don't turn off the pc etc. My game sound was muted and it still happened when I was tabbed out. I'm guessing that it was a prank addon or something but it got me worried now if some addons can actually be malicious or did I actually got a virus?

    i know its been like 8 days but did you ever find out if you actually received a virus or if it was some kind of prank.

    Edit: im asking because an exploit like this would kill S&box/make people extremely hesitant on it before it can take off and it launches in like 3 days
