task manager notification for fake update!

Hello friends.
I want to report a serious bug probably a virus...
Here is what happened.
I use KDE NEON PLASMA Version 5.26.0
Lately on the task manager an update sign appeared next to the main update sign (you can see on the attached picture)
which says that an update to 22.04 LTS is available even though as I said before my version is 5.26.0.
I made the mistake to open it and after that my pc never opened again. I had to format the disk...
