I was searching some recipes for my cooking online last night, suddenly, some strange pop-ups came out and I clicked them by mistake! After that I had been taken to some porn sites, I closed those pages immediately. But my tablet got locked a few minutes later. I don’t know why. A page from SA Cyber Police can always pop up when I turn on the screen. It claims that I watch child pornography! I swear I didn’t do anything illegal on my tablet. My tablet now is completely locked, I can’t use it anymore. What should I do? Is the warning real? Am I in trouble?
