Every once in a while I get stuck in a

It stops everything on SM.
SM does not respond. Can't get out.
Says I have to call some 800 number to get my

worded thing that repeats itself.
I have been able to get out only by repeated
ALT-F4 and restarting
Windows (XP) and then after a while of that, by
clicking on the icon
below and clicking "Close". I can't remember
exactly what I do, but
eventually it goes away.
Is this the "Extortion Virus" thing out of
Russia I have heard about ?
What is the best way to get out of it ?
BTW - I can't find any FREE virus checkers that
work in XP. My computer
is too old to run the new Windows.

Time to buy a newer one? Goodwill has used
computers at reasonable prices.
You could probably get one with Windows 7.
You could also (clears throat) switch to Linux.
If someone with a used car asks a mechanic to fix a problem, how many
tell the client to go buy a newer car ?! Big Help !
Probably the mechanic that can't fix the old car anymore, due to parts
unavailability or other reasons.
