I am contacting you on my IPad, while a very irritating voice is talking on my computer.

Hello, thank you for using Howly. I’ll be happy to help you out! May I ask your name?

*****

Nice to meet you, *****!
Would you be so kind to tell me more about that issue?

Customer Replay

was answering a quiz - suddenly I get an error message from the Windows Defender Security Center. Screen shows - App:Ads. BrowesrObject(2).dll - Threat Detected: Trojan Spyware. Access to this PC has been blocked for security reasons. Contact Windows Support: +1-855-585-4567. There is a verbal message advising that the computer was locked because of possible illegal activity. I am not to close down my computer, but to call the provided number. I think this is a scam.

Yes, it's a virus.
Do you have access to your PC now?

Customer Replay

It’s on, but I can’t get past the error screen
