    Locked computer scam


    Hi, I just had this frightening thing on my computer too. It disappeared when I started to click around and the computer turned itself off. After several minutes I turned on again and everything appears to be normal. No warnings! I have Norton Security and Firefox. Norton is now doing its 'Fix' to whatever happened. Not something I'd like to experience again. Regards.

    :)
