Opened Network computer this A.M. and it started beeping and all types of boxes came up, and opened up with Malware/ Trojan warning messages. It gave the error code referenced above. It has computer frozen up and it will not do anything.

    Where is that notification appearing is it in a web browser and does your PC appear frozen and are many window opening and is there a phone number indicated to call to resolve the problem?

    If that is what you are seeing, that is a well known scam

    Open Task Manager (Ctrl + Shift + Esc), on the Processes tab, find your web browser and then right click and End Task on your browser.

    That should resolve the problem, you can then continue to use your browser.

    If that is not what you are seeing, please provide a screenshot of the malware notification you are seeing.
