Microsoft Error: 0x00759B ???

This appears to be a "microsoft Fake Alert" trojan Malware.

Do not under any circumstances follow through with it.

You should download the free and very very good Malwarebytes Anti Malware software and run it immediately.

The "Fake Alert" Trojans can be devastating to your computer over time and take over several functions.

MalwareBytes will not download any unwanted programs with it or bring in any bad stuff to your computer as some freeware does. It is the HIGHEST rated Anti Malware system by Cnet.com and many others. You can use it with confidence.

Secondly many of these types of programs (the Malware) just wont be picked up by your anti-virus programs.

There is also Malwarebytes antiRansomwhere program to stop Ransomware and another called BitDefender, have both on my machine!!! Also make sure your Antivirus software is up to date! Had to replace a computer hard drive and a andriod phone to these creeps!! I also have adaware adblockers installed!

I suggest you learn how to do a system restore just in case you have worse problems in the future. It's easy to do and very effective.

Glad you got things back to normal!

Now that it is working, I will suggest that you consider getting an external USB hard drive and at least copy ALL of your important files (photos, documents, music, ect) to that drive.

Then disconnect the drive and set it aside and only plug it in to add more files to it as a backup.

The reason for this is there is a lot of malware now days called "ransom ware".. It WILL encrypt ALL of those files and hold the ransom until you pay up in "Bitcoins".. The encryption is irreversible without the proper "keys" which you pay for.

Backing up your files allows you to simply reinstall your OS and programs from original discs and your important files from the external USB hard drive.

I would highly recommend you scan your PC for MALWARE especially if this message keeps coming back.

Also clean (IE EMPTY/DELETE) ALL of your browser cache/cookies since those are often used for persistent stuff like malware.

As a general rule NEVER EVER give anyone or any software prompts login in info of your PC nor any credit card numbers. Any unsolicited requests ARE phishing attempts and or scam/spam attempts to part you from your money or personal information and ID.

Microsoft also will not contact you via messaging or phone calls.

IRS will not contact you via phone or email, they only contact via snail mail.

FBI will not contact you via phone or email, they only contact via snail mail (unless they personally visit you with real badges).

Microsoft, IRS and FBI scams are really high..

A Google search comes up wth many references to a virus and ways to get rid of it, sorry!
