False
True
Desktop alerts that contradict known system states, such as a recently updated antivirus claiming to be out-of-date, can indicate that malware is present and attempting to mislead or distract the user. This is a form of social engineering used by malware to create distrust in legitimate security software, potentially leading the user to disable or uninstall it, which could leave the system even more vulnerable.
