A weird thing happened to me last night and despite searching the Net etc. I can't find any reference. Have any of you seen this or heard what it is. When I opened up IE I got a Windows message box that said
" Your hard drive has been configured for reformatting. Next time You start this computer you will have to reinstall the operating system" It had an OK button which you had to press.
As you can perhaps imagine when it first popped up I almost $h@t myself. Did a full system virus scan & nothing was found. I had to go out then but when I came back 2hrs later & opened IE again the box didn't appear. I also restarted my system and it came up so, obviously, no damage has been done so it was probably a hoax/joke but I just wanted to know what it was
Thanks in advance
