rarely post on here but great advice John! I think my old man got the same one a couple months back...suggesting that his PC was identified as having large amounts of child pornography on his computer and the FBI was going to come to arrest him and confiscate all of his computer hardware...but this can all go away with a simple payment of approx. $300 to some unknown company...Needless to say he was petrified and ready to throw money at this company to clean it up!
Fortunately I locked down his credentials priviledges a bit prior to this incident and was able to log in with admin credentials & it took a couple of hours to get it cleaned up using malwarebytes, hitman pro & other varaints of anti-virus softwares to clean it up but the issue was resolved in relatively short order.
As always with computers these days- an ounce of prevention or a pound of cure!
