Scam Description
A pop-up appeared on my computer (I have Windows installed) on 2/16/2024. The message says ‘Your computer has been locked down because websites have been accessed that are not part of the usual system. Your computer has been used to obtain information on the dark web. Contact Microsoft support.’ This has happened to me in the past, so I knew it is a scam.
