I just went through 2 days of a "Windows Security Defense Center " alert the would not allow my laptop to go anywhere. Couldn't even shut off the laptop. The number I called (Lebanon Comcast) sent me to someone in Moscow TN with an ESL person named "Eric." I hung up but he called back twice. I didn't answer. Want everyone to know this.

Today, a small icon posted computer error but could shut the computer off, waited a minute or so and turned it back on. Message gone but is it in one of the folders? If so, how do I get rid of it?
 
Never call the number of one of these attacks. Never.

Did you allow access to your device?

What have you used to scan for malware? Malwarebytes? Hitman Pro?
