Most of these pop-ups are just javascript that puts the browser in a dead end loop. FORCE CLOSE the browser and then restart. If you are asked to restore tabs or session DON'T.

WolfEyes, when you get a couple of seconds, take a quick look at page 2 of

There has been a development.

I use Task Manager to force a closing, on the few times that I do it.

Is there also another way?

I've gotten a few thank yous. It's all in how you word things. ;o)

You are most welcome.

No need to force close the ones I've encountered. Doing so closes the whole browser, not just the tab. I usually have several tabs and programs open and I don't want to have to restore the tabs I need. So it's easier just to hit that little check box, close the popup and then the tab. Clearing history and cookies is just a safety precaution. I've found they don't pop back up even if I don't clear cookies as long as I do not return to the inactive website.

There may not be for the ones you get. What I posted on page one works for the ones I get.

Attempted to open a new tab in Chrome to open a website I frequent regularly.  As I opened the tab, I received a HUGE error message that advised me that my IP address had been blocked and that I needed to call 855-309-5435 to have my computer fixed.

I am a tech savvy person and knew that this was a fake warning, so I went in through task manager and closed out all instances of Google Chrome (4 tabs total) and forced closed the program.  Upon re-opening my browser, I googled the number it told me to call, which brought me here to confirm my suspicions.

Running Malwarebytes now.

Scammers pretending to be from Microsoft fixing computers.

Beware.

In my case, I opened Chrome, with my normal Google search page.  I opened a second tab to access www.youtube.com, and then I got the message that my computer was blocked.
The message starts with:
pc-faiilure-hnyt3.pw. says:

and advises "A serious malfunction has been detected with Windows 10, and you Chrome....." etc, and to contact that number.

BEWARE!!!This is a scam the other # that they you use is 1 855-666-1122.....I called Microsoft the real Microsoft and spoke to 3 different people. I preceded to tell them that I received a message on my computer saying my I P address was blocked and they are pretending to be "Microsoft Certified  Technicians". The REAL Microsoft said they was aware of this, but did NOT show concern that people is out there claiming to be them and scamming people. I received more info from AT&T and Uverse about this scam.
