Your Computer Has Been Blocked

Hello

Recently while on Couchtuner, I got a malware "your computer has been blocked" by s3.amazon.com Error 268D3.

How do I block this attack?  What is the correct procedure to get rid of this? I had to do a hard shut down of my laptop

in order to use my laptop again.

Thank you so much for any suggestions.

@Donna:

Personally, you met a fakealert, which was hosted on amazon.com. E.G., the below FAKE MS site. 

Then, if I may ask:

Were you using this site [couch-tuner.ag] when you encountered the FAKE pop-up? If so, I kindly recommend:

  • running Task Manager (right-click on yr taskbar) to force any other FAKEALERTS to shut down (this helps avoid data loss)
  • clearing browsers' temporary data using ccleaner (direct download; no ad...) in time
  • reporting the domain or URL@ https://safeweb.norton.com/
  • using other better sites like nbc.com/video. Because that CT.ag contains sponsored yet risky (misleading) ads like the one@ adsrvmedia.adk2x.com/imp?p=70747993&ct=html&ap=1303 re Search By WowMovix 

(hitting the above "Skip this ad" will ship the user to the below WowMovix Search)(searchalgo.com, a hidden/risky browser hijacker) 

Now U:

  • Have you updated all of 3rd-party applications, operating system?
  • Are you using any up-to-date Norton software? If not, get one that works for yr OS here (Up to $60 Off for Limited Time)

PS: Norton do something?
