What does it do

Normally, adware are obtained via free program bundles. A lot of free software come with certain offers adjoined to them, and by picking Default settings, you are granting them permission to install. Only Advanced or Custom settings will authorize you to unmark something so opting for those settings is advised. If any items become visible in Advanced, just unmark them, and they will not be allowed to install. It would be a good idea to always deselect everything because if you weren’t correctly informed about their installation, they don’t belong on your machine. If you wish to have to remove Call Microsoft Support or similar for the last time, start paying attention to what you install onto your system.

All of these types of warnings are identical, they all want to deceive users into believing that their machine is encountering some type of issues. You’re probably seeing a supposed malevolent program, licensing or computer problems, because con artists aren’t very creative when it comes to schemes, and they are all basically identical. Since scare tactics are particularly effective with less-computer savvy users, it would not be shocking to see warnings about potential data breaches. In order to prevent those data loss scenarios, the user is asked to call their tech-support, who are pretending to be real to trick you. Real companies will never request you to call them, and especially not through some random advertisement, so next time you come across similar pop-ups, remember that. For example, if Apple or Microsoft is requesting you to call them, you are most certainly being con artists. Con artists on the other side of the line would declare that they must clean your computer, and that would cost you a lot of money. A fairly big amount of users fall for these scams since they might be quite elaborate, which is why tech-support scams are still around. Even if you do not pay attention to the first advert, it would pop-up again and again later on, so someone falling for such a scam is not a scenario that is difficult to imagine. If you aren’t convinced real companies would never warn you about a malicious program through browser, you can always investigate the number supplied in the pop-up or the alert itself. Likely, the very first result will prove that it is a scam. Now that you’re certain it’s a scam, just close the warnings and deal with what is bringing them about. If advertising-supported application  is to blame for them, you will have to find and terminate Call Microsoft Support adware to make them stop.
