Domainextensions.gen.in is a fake technical support page that may appear as the homepage of Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer automatically. The questionable platform may display fake security warnings to trick you into believing that you are infected. The purpose of this tactic is to make you dial a specific phone number for assistance. The people who will answer may undertake various approaches, but their ultimate goal is to take your money. They will determine a large sum that the callers should pay to have their PCs fixed. The requested money may reach a few hundred dollars easily, which would be a substantial financial loss. While domainextensions.gen.in cannot check your machine for the presence of threats, the fact that it appears automatically means that some browser hijacker is in control of the Web clients. This unrequested and harmful software, which may attach to the browsers as an extension, may cause an array of problems. Besides setting domainextensions.gen.in as the starting site, you also may find yourself on it whenever you open new tabs. This plugin also may substitute your search engine with some highly questionable platform that may redirect you to other threatening pages. Domainextensions.gen.in may use the famous Blue Screen of Death (BSoD) theme, which normally indicates severe functionality errors with the Windows operating systems. In this case, however, the BSoD pattern is just the background of the website. The notification that appears on domainextensions.gen.in claims there is vicious threats in your PC that may lead to data and identity theft. As a solution to the non-existent problem, the warning suggests you call 888-258-5284 to get support. The best you can do in this situation is to close domainextensions.gen.in, after which you should run a system scan to delete the browser hijacker.
