I was just hanging out with Edge on a Microsoft site and all of a sudden my system starts screaming about how it is locked and don't try to shut it down or restart.. and several popup windows which I could not close.
Stopping Edge with the Task Manager stopped all that so hopefully that is all it was. But I will be watching it for a while. Of course they added the comment about someone has compromised my account online and I need to do such and such to protect myself.
All I was doing at the time was playing Sudoku with Edge on the Microsoft forum site. I did not have Smart Screen enabled, so now I do. MalwareBytes is on the system but it did not react immediately or show anything during a scan.. As far as I can tell, nothing more I can do right now except let others know this is happening right now.
I have Process Explorer running in case the windows start popping up again ..![Cool :cool: :cool:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
