Default Phishing..warning.
I know this has been discussed before and alerts have been given as well but just wanted to re-fresh this for all you folks.

Was on my computer this evening when a pop-up came on with an "alert" plus a loud voice saying to call their customer support people and blah, blah, blah. It was REALLY professional in how it appeared. Well I was sceptical and good thing as I asked for his name and number and told the "support" person I'd have to get back to him. We have a computer fix-it person, John Townsand, who I called and was told that yes this is a scam to get money. I didn't give out any personal information which was a good thing. The thing of it is...these things take a person by surprise so they get scared and fall for the thing. Please question and requestion and go with your "gut" instincts that these aren't up and up.
