Win32:NtfsCorrupt-B is the detection that appears while surfing YouTube and other websites
Win32:NtfsCorrupt-B – the threat alert that Avast or AVG antivirus detection tools deliver when the suspicious URL or different piece is found suspicious. Watching videos or even reading forums like Reddit become impossible when the alert shows up and blocks access to your wanted content. There are no particular videos or sites, topics on sites that get clocked. According to various users[1] online it is a random bug that triggers the blockage of needed web pages and frustration for the user.
It is impossible to experience these messages due to the Win32:NtfsCorrupt-B virus infection or the possible malware infiltration when exposed to those sites, files, and other content.

This is how you determine if the alert is a false positive due to corruption or program interference or the system is affected by a virus. Anti-malware tools can find the virus that is responsible for the issues with these pop-ups and any other threats that might be running behind your back.

Typical issues created while malware is distributed
The more dangerous type of malware like trojans, backdoors, keyloggers are the ones that can trigger the installation on the PC without causing any noticeable issues. The payload gets added without additional users' interaction when a malicious email is opened or hacked site visited.
In most cases, the infiltration of the PUP happens when the user falls for promotional and believes all the claims on shady download websites. This how the application that is needed gets installed with the addition of the shady tool. However, pirating and 2p2 services, for example, can not only contain PUPs but malware scripts too.
Hackers manage to trick people into clicking on promotional ads, other advertising, or attractive content when spam email campaigns include common names of shipping companies. eBay, FedEx, DHL, another name often pop-up on malicious emails. Pay attention to details on suspicious emails and hyperlinks. Malicious macros can trigger the infection in minutes.
