While on TOTV on Friday I received a red screen and a warning for something I cannot remember. I just hit the back arrow and was back at TOTV and continued reading the posts with no problems. I then ran Malwarebytes on a full scan along with Microsoft Security Essentials and both reported no problems.

Now if you get this red screen there are a couple of things to do.

1. DO NOT CLICK ON THE ANYTHING WITHIN THE BODY OF THE WEB PAGE.

2. Use the back arrow on your browser to go back a screen and then close your browser and run Malwarebytes and Microsoft Security Essentials.

3. Another thing you can do if that screen pops up is to just power the computer off. The next time you reboot the computer it will ask you how you want to boot up and just use the normal mode and you should be okay. Run Malwarebytes and Microsoft Security Essentials for a complete scan. Your desktop icons may not be arranged the way you had them but they are all still there.
