Phishing scam after I went to Pensacola Fishing Forum

Have you tried doing a 'control', 'alt', 'delete' and bringing up your task manager and killing the browser process?
Select your browser app from the menu and click 'end process'.
At least that will save you a reboot, and all you have to do is reopen your browser...

That worked for me when it happened to my computer at home.

My grandson fell victim to this "Microsoft support" scam. Daughter walked in and found that he had turned over computer to these helpful souls who were concerned about my computers performance. She shut them down but since I had no idea what sort of spyware had been planted I decided it was a good time to retire the old machine. Hopefully they didn't have enough time to download personal info.

These folks are worthless scum who need to redirect their expertise to good works. Otherwise I would applaud anyone who could flush them out of their rat holes and give them a good pistol whipping.

Short rope / tall tree works for me.

It would be fun to reverse their infection back into their systems program, if anyone knew how.
