    i have had 2 threatening emails stating they know my password which they give, but not the complete one.they say they have hacked my emails and other files and they want payment in dollars to stop it. should this have been picked up by defender?

    Ransom ware and other Pop ups

    Since long before the the talk of Ransom ware went public, i was getting repetitive pop ups threatening to lock my computer, i found a simple reboot cleared my screen and i could continue for a random period of time.

    Not sure if this is THE ransom ware, it doesnt seem that complex, it is just annoying!!

    Windows Defender does not dete it, i AM using windows 10 which i thought was impervious.

    Strangely these things seem to happen when i am connecting to servers such as iiNet or Net Gear !!

    I am contemplating reinstalling windows 10...........opinions please ??
