my computer has been 'taken over' by this error message, supposedly from Microsoft support. it claims that there is a hacker and if I close the page/ignore the message Microsoft will be forced to disable my computer, shut it down to protect their network. how can I verify that this is a ligitimate message from Microsoft?
it's asking me to call a 833 number listed so they can walk me thru the process of removing the virus. the message says it's a too free number for Free Checkup. then it asks for my user name and password.

i'm suspicious.
