You should be vigilant when you notice security warnings on the Internet. Some sites like 40045001.info may show fabricated alerts to trick their visitors. This domain may appear in your Web clients automatically if you are infected with its related browser hijacker. 40045001.info is made without too many efforts. The site consists of a Blue Screen of Death (BSoD) background and a pop-up that mentions non-existent cyber threats. The extension associated with this deceitful page may enter your system when you install software bundles. Fortunately, the 'Custom' method should show adequate information about all components, so you can disable unwanted and unverified programs manually. If you fail to do it, the browser hijacker may set 40045001.info as the homepage of Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer. You also may notice the questionable site when you open additional tabs. The majority of PC users know that the BSoD may appear when there is a severe system malfunction. Although now it is just the background of a Web page, some people may still feel worried about the stability of their systems. A couple of seconds after your Web client loads 40045001.info, you may see a large pop-up. It states that the page detected a suspicious incoming connection towards your PC, which will try to collect login credentials and files from you. In addition to the possible data leakage, the warning threatens that unless you take actions, your Operating System (OS) may crash. This message is utterly deceitful and you should ignore it. According to it, you should dial (844) 452-4331 to receive help. However, the people who will introduce themselves as specialists are con artists. They may manipulate you to pay a large commission for nothing. The proper course of action is to delete the browser hijacker with suitable anti-malware software.
