    Where does the threat come up? Is this from your own anti-virus, which you have installed?

    If not, it is very likely to be a malware itself, and clicking on any part of the message will download the malware to your computer (A fairly standard Trojan attack method - trick the user into thinking your malware is actually an anti-malware)

    My first instinct is to immediately navigate to a site like google, which you know is safe. My second would be, if you haven't already, to install a reliable antivirus and run a scan of your computer.

    Not sure what account you are talking about but standard procedure is to change your password ASAP. Also run a virus and malware scan if it is that kind of a threat.
