Computer warning
I was browsing the web and I got this warning from Firefox and window regarding a security risk, I could not click out of it and there was a number to call and I called it and it seem very strange to me, I think it was a scam, so I hang up on them and rebooted my computer and started my Norton file. Here is the link I got. Can anyone tell me what this is?
