About this infection
Windows Warning Alert is caused by an advertising-supported software on your OS. The main goal of these bogus adverts is to deceive users into dialing supposed tech-support numbers where scammers would try to get remote access to a OS or sell useless programs or services. If an adware is indeed to blame, expect highly intrusive adverts. You may have ran into the adware infection if you did not pay attention to how you installed free programs. The advertisements are harmless, and as long as you do not fall for the scam, your system isn’t going to be jeopardized. However, if you did call them, con artists will attempt to trick you into paying a lot of money for a service you have no need for, or they would install some type of spying malware, and that might allow them access to your personal data. You should never call the numbers in these questionable adverts, and you should be careful about who you give remote access to your PC. And when it comes to this advertisement, just ignore it, you’re OS is not in danger, neither is your data. When you uninstall Windows Warning Alert, the advertisements should go away, and you will be able to go back to regular browsing.
