NottaTaxThing 0 Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Surfing (for a new door) tonight, my wife ran her 64-bit Win7 Ultimate into what's apparently a 'tech help' scam (screen shot attached). Couldn't shut the tab in Chrome so Task Manager-closed the whole browser. Upon reboot began to run NOD32, which promptly reported a blocked boot sector in the logical drive I park data in -- not drive C: but an E: I carved out of the hard drive back when. NOD32 was finding NO infections per se but a lot of corrupted files; so I shut the machine completely down. Before I turn it back on, should I load Eset's ERARemover or what? Nobody in this forum nor webwide is remarking this specific problem set. Thanks in advance for any real insight anyone can offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Marcos 5,407 Posted November 23, 2016 Administrators Share Posted November 23, 2016 That's just a script that locks the browser's tab and displays scary fake warnings. It should be enough to close the tab. It's usually possible to open a new tab and then you should be able to close the tab with the warning.
