Computer Hijack


Recommended Posts

Posted

Made two attempts to download today on Locations #3 and #2. Both times my computer was locked by someone claiming to be Microsoft Tech Support telling me to call an 866 telephone #. Only way to get released was via control alt delete. This has happened to me in the past as well, maybe a dozen times in the 4 years or so I've been using Aslain's Mods. Anything you can do?

It's just one of those weird advertisement pages, it isn't actually harmful, though can be annoying to close.. with Chrome at least, you can close such a page, the times I've seen it.

 

You can always use the "direct" links provided, and then consider donating to Aslain instead if you like his work :)

You should get CC cleaner and scan your pc. It will clean your pc's cookies, making this no longer happen (Ive NEVER seen it...). Also, you could use firefox....
