About this infection

The most probable reason “Your system is heavily damaged by (4) virus!” warnings are popping up is because of an advertising-supported application infection. You should never trust these types of alerts, nothing they claim is true, unless the problem is entirely unconnected.

An ad-supported program may normally be found added to freeware, and if it goes unnoticed, it will be permitted to install. You do not need to worry about the adverts endangering your PC, and as long as you do not call the supposed tech support, you will be fine. The reason calling them isn’t a wise idea is because you would be scammed out of a lot of money, or they would set up some kind of damaging program. Bear in mind that you should not permit some weird technicians to remotely access your PC, particularly when their advertisement pop-ups in your browser. You can be calm that this threat the advertisement is cautioning you about it is not real, and that your system is safe. And when you eliminate “Your system is heavily damaged by (4) virus!” the adware, the ads should no longer appear.

What does it do

Freeware packages are commonly used to spread adware because it wouldn’t be installed otherwise. If some type of item travels together with the freeware, you need to deselect it, and Default mode won’t authorize you to do that. So as to be able to deselect the items, choose Advanced or Custom mode. If you see any items attempting to install, deselect them. And if you think they might be useful, consider the fact that they did not intend to properly reveal their installation, and you would have installed them unknowingly. It is crucial that you pay attention to how you install programs and where you get them from because otherwise, you will end up having to eliminate “Your system is heavily damaged by (4) virus!” or similar over and over again.

All of these kinds of alerts are identical, they all want to deceive users into thinking that their operating system is encountering some type of issues. It might be some type of virus, system error, licensing issues, etc, con artists will use all kinds of situations. The alert will also try to scare you with warnings about data breaches and stolen information because these types of tactics are effective with inexperienced users. A phone number would also be conveniently provided, which would allegedly lead you to tech-support. If you are ever confused about the validity of such ads, it is essential to remember that real software or security companies will not ask you to contact them via some random phone number. So if you get a warning from Apple, Microsoft, or some other technology company, and are required to call them, you are being fooled. Con artists on the other side of the line would state that they have to clean your computer, and that would cost you a large amount of money. Tech-support scams aren’t dangerous to everyday computer users as they are not very convincing but less computer knowledgeable users might fall for them because they are not familiar with false tech-support. And it is not hard to see how some less computer knowledgeable people could fall for them, because even if they don’t believe the first pop-up, after they start appearing routinely, they might think that something is actually wrong. If you are still in doubt about whether the alert is legitimate, you can always use a search engine to investigate, and that would make everything clear. Most results will include comments from victims about being fooled. So do not pay any attention to the warnings and just deal with the problem. If the alerts are regularly popping up on your screen, you will need to locate and erase “Your system is heavily damaged by (4) virus!” adware.
