supertonk Posted May 13, 2018 ID:1242625 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Hi Guys, I was targeted by Microsoft windows today with a chance to win a new phone or free gift quite randomly, all i had to do was answer 3 questions in 4 minutes. I was suspicious so i tried to exit the screen but couldn't so i turned computer off. Has anyone else had this happen to them, and is it a scam.thx Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Root Admin AdvancedSetup Posted May 16, 2018 Root Admin ID:1243223 Share Posted May 16, 2018 In the future, please ensure you're taking the advice from someone trained in Malware removal in case something were to go wrong. Here in this forum if something went wrong it may be days before someone came along to help. Thank you I will go ahead and close this topic now as resolved. Thank you Ron Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
