Hi I hope someone can help me.

I was recently downloading a game and my PC fell asleep (i was downloading through Battle.net, WoW), i came back to my PC and an error had appeared when i wiggled my mouse. I closed the error thinking it as nothing but the CMD was there and it asked me to clickj CTRL ALT DEL then type my password in. Ive never seen this happen before and scared its a virus can someone try and help explain to me what it is.

Regards.

Luke

what did you do? I would have restarted PC or hit power button

I believe you, I just can't find anything that matches the description

have you used it since? Did you run an AV scan or run https://www.malwarebytes.com/ ??

I have taken a lok in event viewer and noticed a couple of errors that happened just before i restarted my PC, i googled them and one is because my pc locks itself when it goes to sleep and the other due to a faulty driver or something! so you were righ tin a way :)
