    sudden message that looks like a scam


    I have been randomly getting a "corrupted windows10 message with a beeping sound." I looked online and it seems to be a scam, but I don't know how to get rid of it. I just scanned the computer with a malware scanner from Microsoft, but I don't think it got rid of it.

    :)

  2. Error Messages a scam?

    Correct that is a scam. You can use Task Manager to close it down.

    As is suggested above, try something like MalwareBytes to scan to make sure everything is ok.
