This “Windows Security Alert” popup brings along some serious issues. First off, it’s plagued with lousy English. I mean, “Click here for the scan you computer.”? They could have at least hired somebody to write their English notifications if they wanted to pull this off.
Secondly, this alert is part of an elaborate scam, so make sure you don’t click anywhere on that popup. If you do, you could end up losing money – first, from purchasing a fake product and second, when your credit card information lands in the hands of crooks.
If you don’t pay attention to the details of the popup, you could be easily fooled into thinking it’s legit. It really looks like a real Windows popup alert; when in fact, it’s one of the fancy features of a treacherous malware.
So how did this malware find its way into your system? Trojans. If you frequent warez sites and sites offering downloadable freebies, you’ll most likely end up downloading a trojan. It’s so difficult to persuade people to avoid freebies.
No need to fret, though. Not only do we have ways to remove the “Windows Security Alert” popup, we can also remove the malware that’s launching it.
