Posted November 16, 201212 yr FPCH Admin Hello. I have essensials, but last weekend I suddenly got a message, filling my screen, and blocking my computer use totally, saying it was from the Metroplitan Police, and that I should pay £100 to release the block!! I did not, and did a restore, and all was well, until yesterday, when it happened again. So now I'm concerned it will return. Why didnt essentials stop this getting to my computer, and what can I do to further protect my computer against this type of thing? I've heard one can set up a type of "watch" program, which "ticks" good websites, and warns of a dodgy one, before one opens it. Any help there too please. Lastly, on the essentials web page, I clicked on "contact" (as I wished to send and email to Microsoft, but it went to a page with lots of weird info on, and said basically, unavailable! Appreciate any help please Regards Neil View this thread Off Topic Forum - Unlike the Rest
