- Lee| 2 repliesGot a pop-up listing this phone number on it to call "tech support" because I had a virus, while I was on Safari on my Mac. It has blocked me from using my Safari--can't get internet access at all, and can't get rid of their "message." It had a fake Norton logo on it.
- Mike-in-MD replies to LeeYou need to force quit Safari then Clear Cache and History. Instructions from the osxdaily.com website:

You should also probably reboot your Mac when done. - Ray Wolf replies to MonicaI got the same pop-up and it totally locked up my computer, cannot get around it. Looking up the name with it, www.geekstechnologies.com notes it is a new site with little history and a "rating" of 65%.
- Ray replies to LeeI got the same pop-up/number. Looking up their www. makes it look very suspicious. Gonna have to get a tech guy to get rid of it as it also locked up my computer completely.... I was on a PC via Windows.
- Ray| 2 repliesWhile on the internet this "www.geekstechnologies.com page jumped up with the message that they had frozen my computer (certainly did) because they had spotted mal-ware and "blocked" my computer from further use and that I would have to call the above number to arrange to correct the problem. Looking up the # and web address on (another) computer makes this site look very suspicious. And I can no longer get into my computer for anything so I can't use the above suggestions so far.

- Mike-in-MD replies to RayCan you use CRTL-ALT-DEL to bring up Task Manager? If so, then use it to kill all running browser processes. If not, force a power down by holding the power button for at least 6 seconds. Wait a minute and reboot and see what that does. Once you get back in, you will need to probably use a malware removal tool. Also, once you have it cleaned up, consider installing an Ad Blocking extension or add-on for your browser. These hijacks are embedded in ads served up by third party ad servers on popular websites and the website owners have no control over the ad content.
- Slim replies to RayDo you use a PC or a MAC?
If you use a PC, learn how to boot into "Safe Mode".
Run an anti-malware program from a CD drive or USB drive while in Safe Mode.
Usually that type of malware is installed by a web advertisement at some visited page. The owners of that site may or may not know about the problem. Usually it is just a Browser Hijack, but sometimes it is worse than that.
I really wish you did not display the site URL ... that site may also be infected ... but knowingly! - Ek in CaCame up while I was in safari trying to check on a balance on a debit gift card. Locked up my computer (Mac) but was able to force quit and restart. Does just seeing this window (fake norton alert) mean I have to do anything else to 'clean' my computer?
- Caller: On safari
