Don't Panic - Get to Mann!
Remain calm and don't give hackers or scammers any more information than you already have. Disconnect your computer from the Internet or shut it off. Bring your computer into our store for our diagnostics so we can determine the appropriate repair option.
Contact Your Financial Institutions
If the hacker or scammer was connected remotely to the your computer, they may have had access to your bank an/or credit card info. Contact your bank(s) and credit card provider to alert them of the situation and they will advise you on their procedures.
Change Passwords
When you are first able to on a secure device, change your passwords for every login to websites you had saved in your web browser on your compromised computer. Remember to use strong passwords.
