Hello, thank you for using Howly.
The “Threat Detected: Trojan Spyware” fake error message is a scam that pretends to be from Microsoft to trick you into thinking that your computer has crashed or that a virus has been detected. It does this to try and scare you into calling one of the listed numbers to receive support.
I wondered about that. But the page is locked
ESCAPE or cntl alt delete?
Could you specify, what page are you referring to?
The page in a blue box saying access to computer has been blocked
if the PC freezes up, open Task Manager Then white box saying Win Def Sec Center
Access to this PC has been blocked for security reasons
Error # 190471166
Could you try to restart your computer, please?
Thanks so much for your help! Looks OK now. How did they get to my computer?
Probably, it was like a link or advertisement which you followed.
Thank you. Thank you.
Will say goodbye now.
