    How do I get the message off of my computer? The message keeps repeating over and over . I have to turn down my speakers because it won't stop playing.

    Message re: spyware says to call a phone number to prevent Microsoft from shutting down my computer and notifying authorities of my ip address. Is this a bogus message as I can't delete the message?
