The 'RDN_YahLover.worm' pop-ups (or 'RDN_YahLover.worm!!055BCCAC9FEC' Pop-Ups) are corrupted messages, which may lock the users' Web browser and prevent them from loading other pages unless they restart their Web browsing client completely. Seeing these pop-ups for the first time can be a rather a scary experience because they state that the users' computers are infected with a threat, and their browsing history, passwords, and credit card information might get collected by cyber crooks. The good news is that this information is fake, but the bad news is that the pages hosting the 'RDN_YahLover.worm' pop-ups are part of a tactic that many users have fallen for. The purpose of technical support tactics like this one is to convince users that they need the help of certified support agents who can be reached by calling the number featured in the 'RDN_YahLover.worm' pop-ups. Different versions of the tactic might use different numbers, and they may be hosted on different domains, but in the end, they may end up asking the users to do the same thing – spend their hard-earned money on overpriced services or products whose credibility is questionable.
