Click on it and you perhaps opened the door to malware. I got one one day that apparently lock my screen up and told me to go to a site that would repair it............Big mistake. The assistant at Apple told me to simply turn the computer off and back on again and it will most likely go away......and don't go there again. People in foreign countries are making lots of $$$ on us trusting souls.

Re: hijacking your computer
We are old school. We still use checks, do not bank on line. I have anti virus. It is a pain in the neck as it runs every morning. I have my computer backed up. If, they grab me, there is nothing worth them having. ENJOY IT.
