[SOLVED]Microsoft Edge locked up milkystory.services
« on: October 03, 2017, 06:43:08 PM »
My dad opened his browser and clicked on something from Facebook or maybe MSN.

It came up with a message and login screen and locks all other tabs. 

It says:

"The server milkystory.services is asking for your user name and password.  The server reports that it is from suspicious activity detected on your computer.  Call toll free now.

Then a bunch more stuff.

User name
password"

I was using only Window's defender.  I added Avast back in and all is fine and malwarebyte's says it's clean as well.

Attaching reports:

It said I could upload 4 files and the sticky said there were only three reports, so I added a jpeg of the error message for milkystory.services.

But Edge is locked up and I can't do anything.  I close the popup and it comes back and I can't switch tabs.

Well edge is part of the windows OS, that's why this happened.

Cybersecurity is more of an attitude than anything else. Avast Evangelists.

Use NoScript, a limited user account and a virtual machine and be safe(r)!

I fired it up to run the command and launched Edge first and it came up, but in the background I see MS has marked it as suspicious and blocked it.  I canceled the popup and all is well again.

Thanks for everyone's help.
