I accidentally downloaded a virus, and I'm using Malwarebytes to try to clean it up. After I quarantined everything it flagged, I suddenly started getting a bunch of Google notifications saying "WARNING DATA COMPROMISED." I ran another scan just 5 minutes later, and it flagged even more items. What's going on here?

It might be worth trying a different antivirus program just to see if it catches anything that Malwarebytes missed. Sometimes one tool doesn't pick up everything.
Those notifications might not even be coming from Malwarebytes. It sounds like you could be getting scam alerts from a shady website. Double-check those notifications!
Make sure to check your Task Manager. Sometimes there are unknown processes running in the background that can be tricky to spot. Just look for anything that seems weird or unfamiliar and end those tasks if you find something suspicious.
