    I found a scam yesterday


    Yesterday, when I was procrastinating. I found a scam when I was looking for the Canon Powershot A640manual online, here is the website <link removed>then I saw that scam "Your computer has been locked" I instantly got very worried and hit the Esc key, closed the browser, opened task manager, and ran a legit virus scan. Thankfully I didn't fall for the scam and there was no virus installed * Moved from Virus & Malware
