I got hit with ransomware off FaceBook.
They locked up my computer when I would not pay the ransom.
I am limping along on an old system.
It may be a few/several days before I get things back to normal.
Thanks
Joe

happened to me two days ago.i did a hard shut down and then when i turned it back on the screen was blank.what they did was reset the sleep mode to constant sleep.i had to unplug the power cord and then hook it back up. then reset the sleep mode.you can call the marker of your machine and they will walk you thru it. when it happened i was shocked and couldn't believe my eyes!!!!

Sounds like we finally found one type of computer that Joe can't fix!

Seriously though, sorry to hear that Joe.

My computer guy retrieved all my info & files.
This is the number of the scammers 1-844-850-5811
I called them today and they answer "Microsoft" I told them my computer locked up and it told me to call this number, the scammer asked what type of computer and what windows, I told him 10, but right now I am on XP !!!!!LOL
He asked me if I was at my computer and I told him yes, the prompt gave me this telephone number, He asked me how it was infected, I told him Face Book...............
Now this scammer is asking me these questions to see if the viruses are working.
Eventually keeping him tied up on the phone,
I told him I retrieved all my files and Used that F plumbing word with a YOU to back it up and laughed at him because he did not get any of the ransom, because they called me and told me I was going to have to get a new computer for not paying the ransom and he was laughing while telling me this.....ARG !!!
Yesterday I asked them if their computer was running LOL
They fell for it laugh laugh mad laugh grin
