The information in question is as fake as it gets, and it has one sole purpose – to convince the targeted user that their computers have been infected by threats, or their Windows installation is corrupt, and they need to resolve the issue as soon as possible. Apart from the pop-ups, users also can recognize a 'Windows has detected suspicious activity!' message that also is fake.
