    Computer locked up by DEFENDER, don’t know how to fix it


    A screen has popped up saying “access has been blocked for security reasons and for the safety” and has a phone number to contact to fix it, there’s also an audio loop telling me that there’s a identity theft virus that is using my IP address without my consent. I saw a thread on here saying that this was a scam and to press ctrl+shift+esc and to clear the cache however when I push those buttons nothing is happening. I’m not sure what to do, and I can’t find a phone number to call about this.

    :)
