‘Infectiowithvirus.com’ Pop-Ups

Posted: February 22, 2016

Infectiowithvirus.com is a fraudulent site related to a browser hijacker, whose administrators may try to take money from less experienced PC users. Infectiowithvirus.com doesn't host harmful content that can monitor your actions or record your account credentials. Instead, infectiowithvirus.com claims that you are already infected to make you 855-807-4805 for help. The operators of this phone line introduce themselves as support agents who can easily clean your PC from all present cyber threats. They also may involve the name of Microsoft to evoke trust. In reality, they are nothing more than con artists. These bogus specialists will try to charge you a fee for nothing. The exact sum varies based on many factors such as how scared the computer user seems to be. In most cases, the fake support agents want several hundred dollars. If you refuse to pay them, they may still achieve their mission by infecting your PC with spyware. Your browser may load Infectiowithvirus.com automatically if it is infected with the mentioned browser hijacker. The extension may attach to Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer. Infectiowithvirus.com may make various changes automatically. Infectiowithvirus.com may make Infectiowithvirus.com your default homepage. There may be automatic redirections to it at random intervals of time or when you open new tabs. This page may seem worrying to a significant part of the PC users. Its background contains Blue Screen of Death (BSoD) elements, which are a signal for malfunction of the Operating System (OS). The pop-up, which you may notice shortly afterward, may deceive you that there are various types of threats and adware on your PC. The browser hijacker locks the Web client as soon as it loads Infectiowithvirus.com. If you close the pop-up, another one may come in its place, making you feel as if you were indeed infected with the listed cyber threats. The right course of action is not to call 855-807-4805 but to delete the extension with a trustworthy security application.
