Malware corrupted registry I have not shut down yet PLEASE HELP!
Hi. I was checking out a webpage and when I went to close the tab a window popped up saying something like (don't remember exactly) a problem was detected with registry settings being changed, don't shutdown your computer, something about blackscreen , no microsoft support call this number and there was a button to click ok which I DID NOT click. I thought this was some kind of randsomware and quickly closed the page. next I tried to do a system restore but get an error telling me windows has detected file system corruption and to check the disk for errors. I am afraid to click the link for that because I don't have much faith in windows automatically fixing the issue. I think this might have changes something in the registry and haven't shut down the computer. Can anyone help please? Thanks.
