Support-online-pc.site

Support-online-pc.site, despite its dubious name, looks like a legitimate gaming blog at first – visiting it reveals a fair number of blog posts related to the latest headlines from the world of computer games. However, regardless if is on purpose or not, Support-online-pc.site is also used to host an elaborate technical support tactic that attempts to trick users into thinking that their computers have been infected with threats. The suspicious page hosted on Support-online-pc.site displays the 'Error # SL9DW61' Pop-Ups, which warn users that their Facebook data, payment details, and other login information may be exposed to con artists because of a virus infection.

'Conveniently' the pop-up offers a simple solution to all problems – calling a certified Microsoft support technician who'll help the user fix all pending issues. To further increase the chances that users will fall for the hoax, the misleading pop-up states that users have 5 minutes to call 877-769-4179 otherwise their computers will be completely disabled until they manage to fix it. Although the Support-online-pc.site page uses the official Microsoft branding and design features, you can rest assured that neither it nor the phone number it promotes are linked to the Microsoft Corporation.

Both the fraudulent page hosted on Support-online-pc.site and the phone number it promotes, are tied to a well-known technical support tactic whose end-game is to take money from innocent users. The con artists achieve this by convincing not so tech-savvy users to pay staggering fees in exchange for technical support services or unreliable computer optimization software. Apart from offering fake information, the Support-online-pc.site pop-ups also may block the users' Web browser by preventing the users from closing the new tab and the pop-up, therefore rendering their browser useless until it is fully restarted.

If you come across the Support-online-pc.site fraudulent page, you should close it immediately and forget about all the things you read there. We assure you that the virus alerts are completely fake and Support-online-pc.site is not a reliable source of information for your computer's health and security.
