  1. Security scam


    I just got a new PC, and 2 days after setting it up I got a scary security message that locked my screen and played a message.Both the message and the voice requested that I call Microsoft Security at 1 866 284 1311.I couldn't shutdown my computer because the screen was locked and I had to do a hard reboot to get rid of the message.I want to alert Microsoft and PC users so that someone can intervene.Kind regards,

    :)
