I just got a ransomware scare.

    It was a typical window screen in a tab that just popped up. I couldn't hit the X or change tabs or anything. So I turned off my wifi and opened task manager (alt+ctrl+delete) and ended my browser task and everything went away. What's strange is when I turned off the wifi, the page was still running with the alarm and someone telling me to not turn off my computer and call a number. I suspect I now have something on my hard drive but I don't understand any of this shit.

    Any chance my computer is infected or dox have been taken? Anything else?

    i really wanted to post off topic and gryll you here but lanny will probably ban me for it so..

    that does sound dodgy

    when you opened task manager did you look at the processes running, rather than the applications?

    All that came up as running was my browser so I ended it.

    I got windows 10, there may have been tabs to select from but all I saw was my browser so I ended it and it went away.

    i think its more to do with the processes running in the background

    check the process list and google any suspect ones to find out if it could be malicious, dunno what else to say this shit bores me

    wait until a tech geek replies

    I didn't screenshot it or get the number as I just wanted to shut it down.

    Why do you want the number?

    it sounds like it was just a browser popup window pretending your computer is infected

    check and see if there's anything weird on your desktop or in documents. typically ransomware will encrypt/remove all of your documents and photos

    I don't do enough on this laptop to give a shit. I'd rather throw it in the trash than give anyone my money. I am just curious what's up with this BS.
