Hi,


I was watching a series on my laptop when the following message came up (I can't attach the photo so have to type it):


System Alert

Browser Blocked for Security Reasons

Microsoft has detected that a porn virus has infected your system and trying to steal picture, data and social networking passwords. This is a serious hacking issue. Rectify it immediately.

ERROR CODE: SMEERRO9008QD1

Tell this error to the costumer service.

This may happen due to obsolete network protections.

To fix, please called Windows Support at 0800 058 8296 (Toll Free) immediately.

Consequently we are performing additional security checks to verify the source of the attack and have halted all your system resources in order to prevent any additional damage to your system and information.

Please ensue you do not restart your computer to prevent date loss.

This is a System Generated warning. Do not ignore, it will cause Permanent Damage to the System.


I was just wondering whether this is legitimate and what I should do to fix it? The message won't leave my screen, has completely messed up my laptop and is making a beeping noise.


Thanks a lot


Lauren
