I just received an alert that my computer was locked, not to shut down and to call this number 877-***-0732. I searched on my phone and saw that this may be a scam. I did **** down my computer, restarted and restored my searches only to get the alert again. I shut down again, restarted and did not restore with lo further alert messages. I did not try to call the number. Beware of scams!!
