The 'Error Code: x00082dfo09d' pop-up scam is a threatening con, which is being promoted through browser advertisements and pop-ups that are likely to be spawned by low-quality sites. Users who encounter this scheme attempt may be told that their computers are infected with spyware, which triggered the x00082dfo09d error. The message also warns them that they may have their data taken by cybercriminals unless they contact Windows Support immediately by calling (833) 402-0006.
