What does it do

Since no one would willingly install ad-supported applications, it commonly spreads through free applications. If the application has something added to it, you need to deselect it, and Default settings won’t authorize you to do that. Only Advanced (Custom) mode will authorize you to unmark something so choosing those settings is recommended. If any offers become visible in Advanced, just deselect them, and they will not be authorized to install. And if you think they might be useful, take into consideration that they did not intend to correctly reveal their installation, and you would have installed them by accident. Pay close attention to what you install onto the operating system, and how you do it, unless you want to regularly be stuck having to eliminate Bankworm Virus or similar.

Whatever alert you are seeing on your screen, we can assure that it is trying to make you think that your computer has came across an issue and needs urgent attention. You are likely seeing a supposed damaging software, licensing or system problems, because con artists are not very creative when it comes to schemes, and they are all basically identical. Don’t be surprised to see warnings about information being stolen because scare tactics work with less computer savvy people. The advertisements will declare that if you wish to resolve the mentioned issues and stop data from leaking, you must dial their tech-support, who are actually con artists. Legitimate companies will never ask you to call them, so keep that in mind. For example, if Apple or Microsoft is asking you to call them, it is most certainly a scam. The con artists will use computer terms in order to appear real, will explain that the problems have to be urgently resolved, and charge a lot of money. Tech-support scams are very transparent but because less-computer savvy people have not come across them before, they could fall for them. Even if you dismiss the first advertisement, it would show up again and again later on, so users falling for such a scam isn’t difficult to imagine. If you’re not convinced real companies would not use browser alerts to warn you about malware, you could always investigate the provided number. Most results will include comments from victims about being tricked. Now that it’s been confirmed to be a scam, you may ignore the alert without worrying about damage to your operating system, and can deal with the actual problem. If the warnings are showing up constantly, you will need to locate and remove Bankworm Virus adware.
