    Your computer was infected by a fake tech support pop-up message.

    You were scammed.

    What to do if you already gave information to a tech support person

    If you think that you might have downloaded
    malware from a phone tech support scam website or allowed a cybercriminal to access
    your computer, take these steps:

    • Change your computer's password, change the password on your
      main email account, and change the password for any financial accounts, especially your bank and credit card.

    If your issue continues see this free multi-step removal guide from Malwaretips.com: http://malwaretips.com/blogs/remove-tech-support-scam-popups/

    You may not need to scan with Zemana or Hitman Pro (note that both are available in trial versions if you do need them). If scanning with AdwCleaner (step 1) and Malwarebytes Free (step 3) does not resolve your issue, you may
    need to reset your browsers as suggested in step 5.
