The 'We have noticed excessive POPUP ADS or SECURITY ISSUES on your Windows 7 computer!' pop-ups may impair your Web browser's functionality completely by flooding it with fake alerts and warnings whose purpose is to trick you into thinking that you have a security issue that needs to be taken care of immediately. However, Web browser pop-ups, which inform you of a security problem are almost always a tactic, and the case with the 'We have noticed excessive POPUP ADS or SECURITY ISSUES on your Windows 7 computer!' pop-ups isn't different at all. These pop-ups have one single goal – to trick victims into calling a suspicious phone line, which will get them in contact with a group of crooks instead of reputable computer technicians.

The people behind the 'We have noticed excessive POPUP ADS or SECURITY ISSUES on your Windows 7 computer!' pop-ups may have different requests depending on the scenario they are planning to play out. In most cases, the con artists involved in technical support tactics attempt to trick victims into giving them money knowingly by telling them that they need to purchase expensive software or pay for the services of a 'computer expert.'

To make the security alert even more believable, the con artists behind the 'We have noticed excessive POPUP ADS or SECURITY ISSUES on your Windows 7 computer!' pop-ups may use special scripts to prevent the user from loading other tabs or websites. In addition to this, the targeted user might be unable to close the pop-ups in question, because attempting to close them might spawn new alerts and messages that will appear continuously. The tactic urges users to call 833-778-8648 by promising them that they will talk to experienced computer experts who'll help them get rid of the security issues and advertisements that are bothering them supposedly. Needless to say, calling 833-778-8648 will not result in this and, instead, the con artists are likely to ask you to pay a staggering amount of money for their services and software.

Seeing the 'We have noticed excessive POPUP ADS or SECURITY ISSUES on your Windows 7 computer!' pop-ups in your browser is not a threat symptom so that all you need to do to avoid being tricked is to restart the Web browser and avoid opening the page that brought you to the fraudulent pop-ups.
