    Microsoft downloaded ransomware in my PC?


    As I opened a retail website, I got a flashing alert window saying my PC was infected by Trojanware and I was to call this number 800 692 9556 immeidately My husband called them and agreed to remote. They got my information...passwords, everything...and then they said it was bad website, malware, etc. If I wanted them to fix it, I wd have to pay 249 for one plan or 450 for another plan, etc. I would not pay so the communication was ended. I continued to have a bit of problem so I changed to MS Edge, and everything was fine. Then I booted out and then back in, and everything was fine. TG
