‘Browseprevention.info’ Pop-Ups

Browseprevention.info is a website that offers fake technical support. If you visit it intentionally, you will notice the picture of a happy elderly couple who talks over the phone with the so-called technicians. This photo is very indicative because a significant part of the victims of such frauds are older PC users. They are typically not so tech-savvy as the younger people, which make them more susceptible to these scams. You should know that browseprevention.info is associated with a browser hijacker. If this term speaks nothing to you, the hijackers are dangerous browser extensions that make unauthorized modifications in Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Internet Explorer. As a result, you may see browseprevention.info as the homepage or when you open new tabs. The dubious add-on enters without the knowledge of the user, commonly concealed in software bundles. To keep such tools away, you need to perform the installation of freeware solely through the "Advanced" menu. There is one peculiarity when your browsers are under the influence of this hijacker. You will not be transferred to the main page of browseprevention.info but a specific subdomain. It displays a pop-up, according to which your PC is infected with very dangerous malware. If you believe in this fraudulent notification and call 844-252-4480, you will get in touch with culprits. They will ask you to pay them a significant sum to fix your PC while it may be clean with the exception of the mentioned browser hijacker. You should not dial the provided phone number, and should instead scan your machine to remove the questionable add-on.
