    Shut down modem and restart. Worked. Yay! Kinda freaky.
    No! Do NOT call that number! It's a trick to get your computer infected more, if it isn't already.

    Are you running Win 10?

    No, all is well. I have a chromebook. Whomever took control and like I said, there was a number. I didn't call. I called tech support for my internet. They also said, "Good girl!" LOL! I didn't think to unplug modem, so that's what I did. Got back control and called bank to let them know that an attempt was made.

    Whew. Yeah, Good Girl indeed!

    Chromebook is out of my realm. I can't even advise you on how to scan & secure it.

    Make note of the pages you were surfing to when it grabbed your browser and blacklist every page associated with it.

    Real clear politics-yep.

    I don't really understand either, but memory on this is all in 'cloud.' I like it in some ways, others not so much. I liked macbook best, but not shelling out that kind of money anytime soon.
