What can be said ERR_SPDY_PROTOCOL_ERROR

The most likely reason you are seeing ERR_SPDY_PROTOCOL_ERROR alerts is because of an adware infection. You should never trust these kinds of alerts, everything they claim is false, unless the problem is completely unrelated. If an ad-supported software is indeed to blame, expect very invasive ads. If you don’t pay attention to how you install free applications, it’s not surprising that an advertising-supported application is installed. The advertisements themselves won’t endanger your operating system, as long as you don’t fall for the scam. The scammers on the other side of the phone would try very hard to fool you into providing remote access to your PC, and then try to make you believe that they have fixed the issue (which doesn’t even exist in the first place), for which they would charge you a lot of money. Bear in mind that you should not allow some weird tech-support to remotely access your system, especially when their advert appears in your browser. And if you are still concerned about the warning you are getting, it’s false, and your device is secure. If you want the adverts to no longer appear, all you need to do is erase  ERR_SPDY_PROTOCOL_ERROR.

Why are the warnings popping up

You most probably got the threat through free software packages. A lot of freeware have something added to them, and you will not see them if Default mode are what you pick during installation. Instead of Default, pick Advanced (Custom) settings. If you happen upon any added items, uncheck them. And if you think they might be useful, keep in mind that they didn’t intend to correctly reveal their installation, and you would have installed them by accident. If you wish to avoid having to eliminate ERR_SPDY_PROTOCOL_ERROR and similar over and over again, pay closer attention to how you install programs.

The bogus ads intend to trick users into believing that there is something amiss with their device. It can be some kind of virus, system error, licensing issues, etc, scammers will use all kinds of situations. Since scare tactics are particularly effective with less-computer savvy people, the pop-up will possibly also include warnings about possible data loss or leak. According to the warning, if you wish to solve the mentioned problems and prevent data from leaking, you must dial the given number, where fake tech-support will do something to fix a problem that does not even exist and charge you loads of money for it. Real companies will never request you to call them, and especially not via some random alert, so next time you run into similar advertisements, remember that. For example, if Apple or Microsoft is asking you to call them, you’re most certainly being scammed. The scammers will use technical terms in order to appear as if they are legitimate, will explain that the issues have to be urgently fixed, and charge a lot of money. The reason these tech-support scams are still around is because less-computer savvy people still fall for them. It is not difficult to imagine why some users may fall for these scams because if they’re regularly showing up, they might see more legitimate. If you are not convinced real companies would not use browser alerts to warn you about malicious software, you could always check out the given number. Most results will include comments from people advising to be cautious of these con artists. So don’t pay any attention to the warnings and just deal with the issue. If the pop-ups are constantly appearing on your screen, you will need to find and erase ERR_SPDY_PROTOCOL_ERROR ad-supported software.
