Posted: December 8, 2015

Cravehelp.info is a malicious Web page that your Web clients may be forced to load automatically by a browser hijacker. The site may show frightening security warnings to all visitors. The first and most important thing to keep in mind is that all of the listed problems are non-existent. Their purpose is to trick you. As soon as you enter cravehelp.info, you will inevitably notice a large pop-up, according to which your PC is at risk. The fabricated alert also may display your IP address and the browser you are currently using. The goal of this information is to evoke trust and make you believe the pop-up is legit. However, any website that you visit can detect the version of your Web client and the IP address, so you should not be tricked. If you close the misleading notification, you may face even more worrying information. Cravehelp.info says it detects various vulnerabilities that may lead to a loss of data like photos, online credentials and credit card numbers. The ultimate purpose of the deceitful warnings is to make you call 866-957-4919. The people who answer will not attempt to improve the security of your PC. Instead, you will get in touch with con artists who will do everything possible to receive a payment of up to a few hundred dollars from you. This tactic is known as a 'fake technical support.' The reason for the automatic redirections to cravehelp.info is a corrupted add-on that may have sneaked into the system hidden in software bundles. It is advisable to get rid of this extension as soon as possible with the help of an advanced security program.
