Hijacked!

Whilst having a wee Friday morning browse on my regular porn site..... my browser was hijacked twice and a message stated I'd looked at illegal material (obviously not the case) and advised I had to pay money via ukash to unfreeze my browser! There was no option to close or reject the message so I had to switch off completely and restart. I'm confident this is a scam as I'm comfortable with my viewing preference but I wondered if anyone else had experienced this? Scammers are such kill joys

Sounds like Trojan / Virus you've picked up. Clear all your cache and delete browsing history, then run your anti virus "Full Scan" and see if that s out the problem.

That used to happen years ago with the Trojan virus. Are you using a dated operating system.

It's usually either from the Met Police or Strathclyde.

Malwarebytes sorted it for me.

This is ransomware lots of info on net about removing this also heard a story about young lad who committed suicide after believing this.

The original ransomware used to be a bugger to remove but can be more straightforward now

Malwarebytes is free to download and easy and quick to use. You'll be surprised just what it finds on a standard home PC
