  2. Windows Defender - Security Warning

    I received a Windows Defender Security Warning. Trojan Spyware Alert - Error Code: #0x268d3. My computer is now locked. The pop-up box says to contact Microsoft immediately for assistance in unlocking. Do not attempt to logout or re-start as this could lead to loss of data or identity theft. Was on hold for 2 hours and phone battery died. Any suggestions on how to unlock without any danger?
