I just started up my laptop and it had some porn still on it from the other night! Then after about 10 minutes it's come up that my computer has been locked 
It's says it got my ip adress I have committed an offence and I have to pay £100 pounds to get my computer unlocked or I will be subject to criminal prosecution
I'm really scared!
Is this real or is it a virus
Somebody please help!!

"Virus .. Switch off pc , disconect from the net , reboot and run anti virus . "
this is great advice, can I suggest you run anti virus in safe mode though, so the potential virus dll is disabled.

Do not pay a penny or do anything it says, start it in safe mode and run a full scan.
These are typical scams, do not fall for it. |
