Fake Update

Anonymous

I have been getting a blue update screen that does not look legit. It populates the entire screen and reads: Updating your computer.....25% complete.... Please don't turn off your computer. During the message screen which lasts about 2 minutes, I can see my cursor moving around the screen as if someone else was controlling it. Occasionally, it will change to a finger icon as if it has landed on a link (but all I see is a blue screen). I searched the web for such a scam, but couldn't find anything. Any help?

    It is a scam. It makes it look like a restarting screen on purpose so they can work on stuff in the backround it happened to me before and I called the police and there is a FULL building of scammers.

    Did this really fix your computer? Mine has been doing this and they created unauthorized charges against me.
