Here is the latest information from the Naked Security Blog from Sophos.
You can go to nakedsecurity.sophos.com to read these. You can also sign
up to have these delivered to your email during the week.

Be sure that you PRACTICE SAFE HEX -- and that you keep your anti-virus,
anti-malware, anti-spyware, and anti-ransomware software up to date. Do
NOT open any email attachments, even if they appear to be from someone
you know.

Also, if your browser seemingly locks up, telling you to call Microsoft
at a certain number, do NOT call the number!! Instead, close your web
browser, clear the cache and cookies, do a full virus scan, then restart
the browser.
