I figured that someone who knew what they were doing might have suggestions. I'm inclined to just go about my business, but have some reservations about just blowing the whole thing off. The browser seems to be working okay, but who knows what might still be lurking. Next time it booted, everything looked normal, and a Windows Security 'quick' scan showed nothing. I did manage to open Task Manager, and didn't see any suspicious process running, but by that time the system was totally locked, so I powered it down. And if that wasn't enough, my keyboard and mouse started behaving erratically. At least until I opened my Firefox browser a minute or two later, and before even navigating anywhere I got one of those red-screen notices that I had to call a US toll-free number right away to get rid of a threat. The mail came from China, and the Subject was simply 'JOB.' I opened the message, which asked if I was interested in a position in the steel industry (which I am not), and I just closed the email and that was that. I don't know enough about malware to do any analysis myself, but was hoping that someone might have a test-bed that could determine if the email was at fault. A new member here, just wondering if anyone is into malware analysis enough to want to receive an email I got a bit earlier today that messed up my Windows 10 system.
