It happened to me once and I discovered it because I have a couple email accounts and one of them started messaging the other. Changing the password fixed it.

The pop up he is posting about is not a virus, it is a runstart program that is corrupting the start up of your computer. It is placed there maliciously by someone trying to scam you. It is illegally attached to a website. They want you to call the # and they represent themselves as a Microsoft support company. They will offer to fix the problem for a few hundred dollars. Most times they just take your money by credit card and do nothing for you. This corrupt program attaches to open before the start up of your system, that is why it does not come up on a virus scan. It randomly pops up and locks your computer up until you force a shut down.
I am posting this because I have had this same thing come up twice while on this site. My computer repair guy showed me where it was and removed it.
Maybe the mods can find a way to block or remove it from this site.

about every 6 months I get a call on my home phone telling me that I have a problem with my computer. WHO ISN"T - Last time was about two weeks ago. said he was from MICROSOFT and tells me that there is a problem with my Windows computer. I told him what about it. He mumbled something and hung up.

It's actually entertaining when you have a Virtual Machine, and you let them have access, while you are Effing with them the whole time time, and handing all the evidence/artifacts over to your employer who is in the security business.
