“I dunno but it was one of those damn klaxon-blaring alarms, dire warnings, a link to a phone number to “fix my PC” and then sudden shut down.
Freaking script kiddies, again.”

Those are annoying, tho it doesn’t seem as if anyone else got a scam-attempt page. They can hide in your browser if you don’t clean it out between usage.
Awhile back one of my bros was worried cause he got a scam-fake “FBI WARNING!!” page. If you haven’t seen one they look something like this image:

It just locks up your browser, it doesn’t do anything else. Clean out your browser cache and cookies and it’s gone.
I hate to admit that I generally leave my Alienware on, well...forever.
Right now, I’ve got like 40G left on a terabyte drive, haven’t cleaned my cache or cookies in eons and it really needs a good formatting.
However, I have so many progs installed that I dread it.
So, here I am.
;D
