I'm not 83 and got totally scared while on this site. All of a sudden, loud sound and an urgent message taking up my whole screen saying a virus attacked my computer and it was getting all my private information - saying it was a 'windows alert' giving an 800 phone number to call (very convincing). I tried 'X'ing out of everything and could not get out of it - it would not go away. I got scared too, finally gave in to turning off my computer by the on/off button and unplugging it. I didn't touch it until the next day. Everything was fine. Wish the would leave us little guys alone!!!
