DAMN, MY NEW PC GOT HACKED

[Carsman]

My new PC is a virgin thankyou, it`s never seen porn! Was told it was a scam, that came via 
"Windows Defender", that locked the PC, and had scrolling number to call microsoft security 
that talked for an hour and a half trying to remove the lock down. Beware! 

BTW, what is porn?

You mean you got an e-mail or pop-up claiming to be from Windows Security asking you to call a phone number?

legit companies never, ever request personal info via phone or e-mail. Never.

I hope you've learned your lesson, young man.

No actually I was in the middle of WEB MD asking a question about meds capability, and when I clicked on the answer box all hell broke loose. A loud voice came on saying Windows Defender came on saying it locked up the PC, and don't try to turn off your PC as it won`t shut off, and it wouldn't shut off. Call the Microsoft security number scrolling at the bottom of the page.
The agents at the Microsoft number talked to me for 1-1/ 2 hours, and they couldn't seem to fix it, so I then called my Geek Squad. In between I called my banks to advise them to notify me if any suspicious activity occurred, and not process it.
