‘Datacomputersupport.com’ Pop-Ups

Posted: January 12, 2016

Datacomputersupport.com is a deceitful platform that is related to a browser hijacker. It shows fictional security warnings only to scare unsuspecting visitors. These fabricated alerts try to lure users via a method that the experts call 'fake technical support.' If you assume that there are indeed various Trojans in your system, you may be tempted to dial 888-279-5428 for help. According to the notifications, this phone number is used by a team of qualified support agents who can fix all kinds of computer-related issues. As you may guess, they are nothing more than con artists whose actual goal is to take money from less-experienced PC users. The browser hijacker, which may redirect you to datacomputersupport.com automatically, may enter when you install freeware. Although Datacomputersupport.com is a harmful extension, its description may promote it in such a way that you may wrongly believe Datacomputersupport.com is worthy. The corrupted add-on may be compatible with Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer, so no matter which one you launch, the consequences may be the same. You should also know that the browser hijacker may display the same bogus warnings on other sites. They may claim you are infected with tons of Trojans, backdoor threats, rootkits, etc. If you don't know the potential results from such advanced forms of threats, the alerts mention that you may lose access to your bank accounts or the hackers may steal personal files intentionally. None of this is remotely true – the sites cannot perform a scan on any PC. If you dial 888-279-5428 mistakenly, the fraudsters will do all they can to make you pay them a so-called commission, although they will do nothing for it. Instead of falling to this hoax, you should use advanced security software to delete the browser hijacker associated with datacomputersupport.com.
