Ransomware and other stuff

Hi Guys, Last night I got a screen of flashing messages and alerts of a catastrophe, and ransom ware threats, plus told my computer was locked and all sorts of crap all at once.

Gave me a bit of a scare i might add, and I was not able to shut down the machine.

Anyway I did a forced shut down and a security scan that proved negative and this morning all seems well as i am talking to you guys.

so what was this and how can i prevent it from happening again, or was it just someone being a pain.

Thank You Leon
