Defender needs to be udpated

So the problem being that you got redirected to this site.

And then got hit with a whole lot of garbage about being infected with at least 5 viruses.
Did you report the site? Although the redirect is the primary problem
I believe you have just discovered a brand new phishing malware site, but I will let you know if my machine sets off a Sentinel or MDATP alert about an hour from now.
I sure as hell did as this would of got my sons for sure.
redirection or showing fake banners isn't phishing in its core, but if they try to get you download something, and if it's malicious, Windows Defender (assuming if it's configured correctly and none of its modules turned off) will come in play and prevent the damage.
Windows Defender is pretty decent
just a demo of someone tested it against malware (totally ignore the "maximum protection", you don't need any 3rd party tool to configure it for maximum security"
