Said my computer was locked. Trojan virus Call Microsoft. Then got a voice telling me to call MS,don't try to restart. I ignored the warnings, and a CAD and got it restarted.

I ignored the warning because awhile back, I followed warning instructions and it was a trap, got that computer messed up. Luckily we had other computers unaffected and found a fix.

Anyway, my computer seems to be working fine after restarting. But not going to try that link again
