    internet security


    Yesterday, while surfing the internet a popup occurred essentially telling me that my windows 10 desktop had been compromised. It instructed me to call the listed number to resolve it immediately and if I did not or turned off the computer it would be locked up and unusable. The number was for the Garrison Corp. They said they were with Microsoft. It cost me $399.99 for a cleaning and the security soft ware, including a firewall. So my questions are: Do they represent Microsoft? Does Windows 10 have a firewall?I’ve been using McAfee security and have xfinity as my internet provider.

    :)

    Microsoft Edge TLS Security

    After trying everything (not a lot of steps) listed in the Microsoft Edge support site, I did a wider search and found this very simple youtube video that fixed it immediately:

    For those who prefer not to click links the steps are simple:

    1. Click in the Cortana search bar next to the Win 10 Start button

    2. Type internet options

    3. Select internet options (control panel) from the list

    4. Click on the advanced tab

    5. Scroll down to the security section

    6. Make sure the following are all clicked:
    Use SSL 3.0
    Use TLS 1.0
    Use TLS 1.1
    Use TLS 1.2

    7. Click apply

    8. Refresh the page that was giving the error and it should now connect.

    Hope this helps, it was a 30 second fix after hours of pounding my head against the error with the Support site suggestions.
