Once upon a time I was on a library computer when I got a popup sayng that I had been caught doing "one of the following": fraud, child pornography, hacking, etc. and my computer would be locked until I payed a $500 fine by PayPal. Sure enough, no keyboard, no mouse, no Ctrl+Alt+Delete, etc.
So I turned the computer off and on again and everything was fine. I even had my 2-hour time limit restored.
That was several years ago and I'm still at large. They don't seem to know as much about me as they know about you.
