'Google Chrome Fatal Error!' Pop-Ups

Online technical support tactics have been around for years, but their evil-minded authors continue to come up with new ways to trick their victims into spending ludicrous amounts of money on useless security software or unreliable technical support services. The latest addition to the list of technical support tactics is the 'Google Chrome Fatal Error!' pop-ups – corrupted browser messages that may impair the user's Web browser completely by opening multiple tabs and pop-ups, which contain a warning regarding a fatal Google Chrome error. Users who encounter these pop-ups for the first time might be quite worried, because the 'Google Chrome Fatal Error!' pop-ups may prevent them from loading any other pages, and may even prevent the user from closing the website tab that contains the fraudulent alerts and warnings. Often, the only way to remove the 'Google Chrome Fatal Error!' pop-ups permanently is to fully restart the Web browser.

However, users who fall for the scary messages the 'Google Chrome Fatal Error!' pop-ups contain may end up following the instructions seen in the pop-up window. The instructions, unfortunately, are pretty much always the same – to call a team of certified computer experts who will gladly help the user resolve the error and restore their computer's performance and behavior. However, the phone number the 'Google Chrome Fatal Error!' pop-ups promote is not associated with any reputable technical support team and, instead, there are multiple reports that the 877-804-5390 line is operated by a group of cyber crooks who specialize in technical support hoaxes. This phone line is linked to the domain securityfalse(dot)ga, which appears to host multiple fraudulent pages linked to tactics.

Calling the numbers promoted by tactics like the one the 'Google Chrome Fatal Error!' pop-ups are involved in may result in getting in touch with con artists who'll provide you with false information regarding your computer's health and safety. They may offer spew fake information about hacker attacks and threat infections, and the purpose of these actions is to scare their potential victim into thinking that they must act immediately or lose their important files and banking details. Usually, the con artists end the conversation by offering a 'great solution,' which end up costing users hundreds of dollars.

Keeping yourself safe from tactics like the one that the 'Google Chrome Fatal Error!' pop-ups promote is not that difficult – all you need to do is to remember that Web browser messages can't contain accurate information regarding your computer's health. Pop-ups claiming to inform you about harmful activity, virus infections, and other problems are the ones that are likely to be part of a hoax. Don't trust them and leave the website which you were browsing when the pop-ups appeared immediately. It also is recommended to run a reputable security scanner to ensure that the 'Google Chrome Fatal Error!' pop-ups were not spawned by adware installed on your computer, although this is not a very common occurrence.
