My window based computer keeps locking up whenever I go on the Internet. I get a female computerised voice telling me I have picked up a virus with some malicious software and my security codes are at risk It provides me with an 0800 number to dial but with so much scam about I dare not ring. Anyone getting the same problems. As me

No but that sounds like you have a virus . Run your virus checker, please don’t ring anyone , it’s very likely a scam .
