Gotcha! This is a tech-support scam.

No one is monitoring your PC. Microsoft does not run this page.

What just happened?

Tech-support scams impersonate Microsoft, Apple, or your ISP with scary popups showing a phone number. The "technician" who picks up will ask you to install AnyDesk or TeamViewer, take remote control, and either install malware, "fix" imaginary problems for hundreds of euros, or drain your bank accounts directly.

Red flags:

Microsoft does not call or email unsolicited. They will never put their phone number in a browser alert.
"Your Windows license has been suspended" is not a thing.
Urgency + fear. Scammers want you panicking so you don't think clearly.
Locked full-screen popups. Press Esc, F11, or Alt+F4 — a real OS-level problem wouldn't come from a webpage.

What to do:

Close the browser. If stuck, use Task Manager (Ctrl+Shift+Esc) to kill it.
Never call numbers from popups. Search for the company's real support number on their official site.
If you already gave remote access: disconnect, uninstall the remote tool, run AV, change passwords and notify your bank.
