Antivirus-protection.com-123.xyz pop-up in your browser is caused by adware on your computer. Antivirus-protection.com-123.xyz is a fake website, stating your computer is infected with a virus and Norton Antivirus should be bought to remove the virus. Well it might be true your computer is infected, but not with a virus. Most likely with adware. You do not need Norton Antivirus as it will earn revenue for the cybercriminals if you bought it using the Antivirus-protection.com-123.xyz website (cookie stuffing).

If your computer is infected with adware, then Antivirus-protection.com-123.xyz advertisements show up in your browser.
