After I watched the video, I got a full screen message that my computer had been attacked by a virus. I don't know if this is true or not, but I was warned not to turn off my computer but to call a certain number, supposedly to microsoft. i did not call the number, nor have I turned off my computer.

Help! Is there any truth to this? The left will stop at nothing.

This may be a ransomware virus - do NOT call the number. You need to take it to a computer guy asap. I lost my tablet to one and after three warnings, it looked like a scene from the Matrix with the 111110000000111111111000000s scrolling down the screen telling me my simcard was going to be destroyed in 20 seconds and a countdown began before I turned it off for the last time. And running a scan and a cleaner won’t do it.
