About this infection

The reason System Support Alert ads are appearing is because an advertising-supported software has infected your computer. You ought to never trust these kinds of warnings, nothing they state is true, unless the problem is completely unrelated. If these pop-ups are caused by an ad-supported program, they will be pretty invasive, show up over and over again, no matter how many times you close them. An adware may commonly be installed by accident, during free applications installation. No need to worry about the pop-ups harming your device, and as long as you do not call the supposed tech support, you’ll be fine.

What does it do

Generally, advertising-supported applications are gotten via freeware packages. You will frequently run into these types of items as extra items, and while you can decide to not install them, many users end up installing them since they miss them. We suggest choosing Advanced (Custom) settings since otherwise, the attached items will not become visible. You will see the added offers in Advanced, so just deselect the boxes. It would be a wise idea to always unmark everything because if you were not correctly informed about their installation, they do not belong on your machine. It’s essential that you pay attention when installing applications because otherwise, you will end up having to eliminate System Support Alert or similar over and over again.

All of these types of warnings are the same, they all want people to think that their system is experiencing some type of problems. Con artists will think of all kinds schemes, such as malicious programs, licensing or computer issues. These types of alerts will generally also include some kind of warning about leaked or stolen data because this pressures less experienced people. According to the warning, if you wish to resolve the supposed issues and stop data from leaking, you must dial their tech-support, who are actually con artists. Legitimate companies won’t ask you to call them, and especially not via some random pop-up, so next time you run into similar ads, remember that. For example, if Apple or Microsoft is asking you to call them, it is certainly a scam attempt. The scammers will use terms less-computer savvy might not know in order to seem real, will explain that they could fix the fictional issue, and charge a couple of hundred dollars. While more computer experienced people will instantly understand it’s a scam, less computer savvy people might believe them, which is why those scams are still around. Even if you do not pay attention to the first advert, it would show up again and again later on, so someone falling for such a scam is not a scenario that is difficult to imagine. But you could easily make sure it’s a scam by using a search engine to check it out. Likely, the first couple of results will prove that it is a scam. Now that it has been confirmed to be a scam, just close the warnings and deal with what is bringing them about. There is nothing to worry about if it only popped up once or twice, but if you regularly get them, you will have to erase System Support Alert adware.
