Dealing with a Tech Support Popup Scam

I had a tech support popup on my laptop recently. It was a written warning disguised to be from Microsoft along with a voice message.

Tech Support Scam Popup

As a reminder, follow the below steps if you experience this:

• use CTRL ALT DELETE to bring up the task manager
• close the browser by highlighting the browser in task manager and clicking end task
• empty the browser cache
• run a virus scan and any other spyware or malware programs available to you

This is the first instance of this popup since I discontinued using Yahoo mail. I used Facebook a lot that day and clicked on several articles of interest. That's the suspected source this time.
