A couple days ago, I was surfing the news online and got a fake "microsoft" hack warning that locked my screen and gave me an audio warning that my IP address had been hacked. I immediately physically disconnected my internet cable, and forced a shutdown of my computer, as that was what the warning said NOT to do. As I am positive that the REAL Microsoft would never generate that type of a warning/situation, I immediately knew it was fake, and I wasn't about to call the phone number they wanted me to call and follow a hackers instructions. Best bet is to shutdown and /or disconnect when these things happen. My computer seems to work just fine after all that.
