As you can see, they are trying to make a serious threat and force users to call that number. First of all, there are no way they could know something about the state of your computer nor the viruses that have infected it. Secondly, even if they did knew something, it would be really suspicious since that layout is very fishy – they try to look like official Microsoft service, while their domain name is ‘politicaloverview.club’. Even users that are not that experienced are likely to notice that something’s wrong here.
We have checked the domain, and as reported by Whois service, domain name of Excessive Popup Ads or Security Issues Alert Scam website was registered by someone named Deepak Nagpal. Original email address of this person is [email protected]. The domain is registered in the town of Gurgaon, somewhere in India. So you ‘technical support’ from Microsoft which is supposed to solve problems regarding your computer is probably based somewhere here:
Clearly we do not recommend to call that number. Your computer is probably OK, and even if it isn’t, you should make other actions to take care of it. Once you call that number most probably you will be convinced to purchase some kind of technical solution which should fix your system (which isn’t broken) and it won’t be cheap.
As we have mentioned before, if you are consistently seeing those fake looking pop-up messages, there is a chance that some sort of adware is operating on your computer. We also mentioned that the best way to find that out is to scan your computer with reliable anti-malware application, such as Spyhunter. Either one of those programs should efficiently deal with all types of adware. You can also ask us a question in the comments section below for free.
