I did manage to open Task Manager, and didn't see any suspicious process running, but by that time the system was totally locked, so I powered it down. And if that wasn't enough, my keyboard and mouse started behaving erratically. At least until I opened my Firefox browser a minute or two later, and before even navigating anywhere I got one of those red-screen notices that I had to call a US toll-free number right away to get rid of a threat. The mail came from China, and the Subject was simply "JOB." I opened the message, which asked if I was interested in a position in the steel industry (which I am not), and I just closed the email and that was that. I don't know enough about malware to do any analysis myself, but was hoping that someone might have a test-bed that could determine if the email was at fault. A new member here, just wondering if anyone is into malware analysis enough to want to receive an email I got a bit earlier today that messed up my Windows 10 system.
