I upgrade to windows 10 home. but after a week or so I can't connect using Microsoft edge. I get a Microsoft virus warning saying to call a number. I tried different malware programs but nothing. I tried to reset the computer but it gets to pick a keyboard but nothing lights up. that's as far I get. any help
The phone number will probably be a fake Microsoft employee, trying to get you to buy a solution from them lol, don't fall for that.
brain.exe seems to have been broken for a moment and you stepped into a trap because of too much curiosity
@chuckman45: Look in your personal folders for a file labeled "DECRYPT_HTML".txt or something like it. If you find this, you've managed to pick up a ransomware virus. If so, you've already lost whatever is in that folder. Ransomware is quite dangerous and will encrypt your files and then offer to sell you a decryption key (for a ridiculous amount of money) :MJ
I hope you don't forget if you have children, to tell them not to look at that stuff online or they'll go blind. I never knew Netflix had male strippers in leather thongs jumping out of cakes.
@Paul: Sad to say, products like Microsoft Silverlight (Used by Netflix) and Flash (still used by many) have been exploited by malware. I picked up a ransomware virus simply by using Netflix. Fortunately, I stopped it in time and managed to save some of my personal files.But I did lose quite a bit of stuff. BTW: Happy belated Birthday. @odie: Yean that stuff rots your brain. :MJ
thanks for your wishes hun ... yes ransomware can be infiltrated by flash e.g., therefore a backup of the entire system always is recommended which puts you in the situation to get back a functional os within minutes if you have detected an infection
