    The 1.16s are giving me a page that says the task is cancelled or something like that. I've caught a few lower paying ones since running the panda search on their req ID A15ZSKX8TUCGEU.

    Not much going on today; not sure why...

    So I'll just mention a site I get redirected to on occasion.

    All of a sudden a a screen comes up with "warning your computer is under attack."

    They give this number to call:

    866-338-7580

    I know it's a scam. I can't find out much about the number, though.

    Does anybody know who this is.?

    You should download malwarebytes (https://www.malwarebytes.com/) and run a scan. Sounds like you've got some malware in there.

    That's been happening more and more to people lately (including peeps in my family). Install MalwareBytes, run a scan, go through your browser extensions/toolbars/whatever and remove (if any) extensions that you don't recognize. Also go to your Windows "hosts" file and make sure nothing is getting redirected there (C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts [open in Notepad]).

    Just clarifying, if you don't know what this file is, and you open it up and there's stuff in there...there shouldn't be stuff in there.

    Indeed. There will be sample text by default, but that's just commented by default.

    Way too much work. Here's a little known trick. Open a command prompt, run "FORMAT C:". Gets rid of all viruses.

    Or just remove the hard drive and bash it with a sledgehammer, equally as effective, but requires more screwdrivers.

    Edit: as mentioned below, don't actually do either of these things. Sledgehammer=potential broken toe and your hard drive will be borked. The FORMAT command will wipe your hard drive totally empty and you'll lose all your data (albeit with significantly less risk to your toes).
