How would you be prompted by your computer? The only way I can think of that happening is via email. Am I missing anything else?

It’s malware piggybacking on a website. It’ll freeze the screen, purport to be Apple or Microsoft and prompt you to call. The same thing happens by e-mail of course. Proper response so far is to shut the computer down and reboot. It doesn’t appear to install or be persistent.
