Don't fall for this scam...

Yes, it very much looks like. I allowed a comment on my blog while using Microsoft Edge and this problem showed up. The page shows up with this message:


Once this message comes, none of the other pages are reachable.
Steps I took:
Reported the comment on my blog ass scam.
Used the Task Manager to close Microsoft Edge.
Deleted browsing history and cookies.

Right now the Firefox is working. I read that this infects Chrome and Firefox as well. A remedy has been recommended (on the Internet)  to close all programs and hard boot. I will try it next.
Unfortunately you cannot rely on Windows Defender as it does not tell what the problem is.


Notes added: 1:45 PM Hawaii
The problem continues with Microsoft Edge. This post is written on Firefox. Adding the offending site to the Restricted sites did not help the problem.

This Origami influenced lamp is interesting...

This is an interesting twist on private lighting. Battery operated makes it portable. How bright is it?
Is it LED based? etc. It is less Origami than accordion design. Would I buy one if it is available. Yes.
Right now you go to Indiegogo site to read more about it.

Get multiple desktops on your Window 10...

Did you know that you can have multiple desktops on your Windows 10 computer?

Well, each user can have multiple desktops on his/her computer screen in Windows 10. Follow these steps and create 2 desktops in each of which you group apps running on your computer.

By default you have just one desktop displaying folders and files.


However, you can add multiple desktops which you can access from Task Bar.

Click on Task View shown here:


+New Desktop opens far right as shown.


Click on +New Desktop to open a new desktop as shown.


Desktop has an open Notepad document and Desktop 2 has no open document.


Click on Desktop 2 and then open any App or application. That app appears in Desktop 2.

 You can create many desktops to group the apps you are running and getting to it quick from the taskbar.

Desktops created by one user is not accessible by other users.

You can personalize the desktop as shown. Desktop 2 has a different theme.
