Like it can be noticed in the notification, the pop-up comes from the browser and not the actual antivirus. Notice the URL as well. Best thing to do is know the difference between real and fake and follow the recommendations from the articles shared here. Regards
You can report consumer fraud in the US here:<https> //reportfraud.ftc.gov/
Since the government is shutdown it doesn't work, but that is one place to report when it works.
You could also send the URL info to the Scammer Payback YT channel for them to investigate and help get them shutdown.
