Pprune security issues ?

I would like to add to this thread please.

Today, I have been viewing this site when the page has vanished and been replaced with a " Microsoft Warning " in the first instance with a synthetic female voice, in the second with a male. The page format has varied, slightly, each time, but trying to click "cancel" has no effect. The only answer is to shut down and restart.

I have been urged to contact, on an 0800 number, Microsoft engineers or my PC will be shut down as it has, allegedly, been hacked.

I have carried out a full security scan, I use Norton and BT also contributes a they are my ISP and there are no security issues shown.

This page intrusion only occurs here, on this site, NO other sites bring it up.

I have declined this offer because it sounds remarkably like a scam unless anybody can advise otherwise that is. But it would be interesting to hear if anybody else has experienced the same or similar.
