    Alert or Scam


    I just received an alert/pop up with a warning that someone has tried to use my IP address and that I should contact my administrator. It states that I cannot go to websites. I did try to use a career site and it also told me to contact same. Help?

    :)

    Microsoft alert scam

    No, I found out about the scam after I contacted the company whose phone number was listed on the alert and paid $49.99 to fix my computer.
