'Please Install Video Downloader' Pop-up

Posted: May 5, 2014

'Please Install Video Downloader' is a bogus pop-up alert that may be used to drop and install a variety of potential computer infections incorporating PUPs (potentially unwanted programs), adware and browser hijackers on a PC. If the misleading 'Please Install Video Downloader' Pop-up notification is shown on the PC, this may indicate that the computer system has been already affected by adware or other security threats. The fake 'Please Install Video Downloader' Pop-up may occur on the computer when visiting advertising websites or genuine websites that have been hijacked. Security infections associated with the fictitious 'Please Install Video Downloader' Pop-up notification may change the default start page, search service or a new tab window with an untrustworthy website, or continuously divert computer users to various questionable websites. If the computer user decides to download a file that, in truth, may be disguised as an update for a Video Downloader by clicking the link or button in the message, he may unknowingly agree to download and install more potentially unwanted programs or adware onto the PC.
