BESNOWED

Every now and then, on my MOzilla Firefox browser, I get a web-site popping up with the name something like BESNOWED.STREAM. It then says it's a Microsoft support site and that something is attacking my computer and stealing stuff. It gives a phone number to call and won't let me access the machine.

I always turn off the computer and restart and it goes away. McAfee scans don't detect anything wrong.

 

Thoughts?????

It is likely that the browser has been hijacked. Are you seeing this on other browsers? Please run our GetSusp tool and see if it picks up anything suspicious
