The wife was looking for a marinade reci pe on Pintere st and was redirected to a another web page.

All the sudden we have of full screen of YOU ARE VIRUS INFECTED. YOUR PC I S LOCKED, CALL MICROSOFT TECH SUPPORT, DO NOT SHUT DOWN YOUR PC!!!! Now I know what it feels like to have your MCAS malfunction with full flashing alarms and beepers!

I hit control/alt/delete and fortunately Task Manager came up. I shut down chrome and the alert went away. Just did a Malwarebytes scan and they say I am virus free!

Sounds like some malicious advertising. Luckily if you are patched up they should have a hard time actually doing anything more than annoying you. Closing it down is the right way to go.

There’s some irony in a fake Microsoft tech support scam being hosted off of Microsoft Azure.
