Desktop alerts warning about antivirus protection being turned off or indications of a system infection are common indicators of potential security breaches or malware infections. These alerts can be deceptive, often tricking users into taking unnecessary and potentially harmful actions. Alerts pertaining to required security software updates, while potentially legitimate, do not directly indicate a security breach, and regular notifications are routine components of system maintenance, not indicators of a security issue.
