I must be losing it...just spent almost an hour on the phone hassling one of those web site hijackers lock up your browser and tell you there is a virus on your computer and they will remove if you call their number. The page won't close and they are holding your broswser for ransom. Called and they said they had remote access to my computer and Explorer had contracted a virus. Really?

Asked how they knew, said they are part of the microsoft central registry. Then i tried to get them to fix it before I paid, since they had locked it up. They said the virus locked it up. I asked they why is their phone number on the locked up screen with the virus on it. Back to saying they were a part of the Microsoft security team.

Got down to my credit card number and I gave a bunch of random numbers. They took my random numbers 3 times before getting upset with me. Then I told them if they could lie about my computer being windows and my browser being explorer, I could make up credit card numbers right? Then laughed as THEY hung up.

They wanted to charge me $79 for landing on their web site.
