The most suitable course of action is to verify the source of the alerts to determine their legitimacy. This step helps differentiate between genuine notifications and potential indications of malware that may be generating false alerts.
Simply uninstalling the antivirus software may lead to additional complications, while ignoring the alerts could put the system at risk. Contacting the vendor is another option, but it may not be necessary at this stage if the alerts can be assessed directly.
