Solvemypc1.net

Solvemypc1.net is a hoax website that may display fake warning messages in the process of redirecting any readers to a fictitious technical support service. The latest analyses carried out by malware experts failed to detect any threat-distributing exploits at Solvemypc1.net, but contact with this site still should be considered inherently threatening to any PC. Browsers being redirected to Solvemypc1.net should be assumed to be under attack by third parties or possible threat infections, and deleting a Solvemypc1.net hijacker should be carried out both promptly and by an appropriate anti-malware product.

The Riddle that Hurts to Solve

Solvemypc1.net is a tactic-based website similar to past threats, such as Pctech-notice.com or the comparatively older Spitzi.co.uk domain. Like previous hoax sites, Solvemypc1.net may use fraudulent warning messages recycled from past sources to convince any visitors that their PCs have been compromised by threatening software. Ironically, with reports of Solvemypc1.net being the centerpiece of a June 2015 campaign of browser hijackings, these warnings may be symptoms of actual infections.

However, Solvemypc1.net may not provide legitimate security information. Current pop-ups from Solvemypc1.net may warn the PC user about unspecified viruses, adware or spyware, and may include fake messages about the status of your Windows Firewall. Besides using an inappropriate format for its 'Firewall' pop-ups, Solvemypc1.net also may request that the computer user contact its fake technical support number, a service that no legitimate Windows Firewall alert would provide.

Solvemypc1.net's associated phone number, 866-436-9418, is a confirmed technical support hoax line. However, most phone tactic databases have yet to list the number. Consequences of conversation with Solvemypc1.net's fraudulent technical support company may be as variable as the individual con artists, but most frequently may include:

• Third parties may request that you make settings changes allowing them to have remote access to your machine, which may be used for installing threats or collecting your information.
• Third parties may promote a fake security or system cleaner program for the purpose of 'fixing' your machine. These scamware programs may block other software, generate fake scanner results or redirect your browser away from reputable websites.
• However, the majority of technical support tactics may be designed for collecting money upfront. Solvemypc1.net employees are most likely to request money in exchange for technical support services that they then may fail to provide.

Solving Your PC of Solvemypc1.net Tactics

Pop-ups from Solvemypc1.net primarily may endanger your PC by delivering fake system information, including ostensibly realistic warnings about the presence of threats. Although experience browser redirects to Solvemypc1.net or equivalently illicit sites may be symptoms of threats, you should disregard all security information offered by such a known hoax website. Legitimate alerts from the Windows Firewall never will request that their PC users contact a repair company by phone. All due effort should be made to identify the telltale format differences between legitimate system alerts and fake, browser-based pop-up warnings.

Scanning your PC with a suitable anti-malware or anti-adware solution always should follow after any exposure to a Solvemypc1.net pop-up message. For now, malware experts have no further information on the PC threats promoting Solvemypc1.net and its technical support tactic. However, the threats capable of such attacks may include both adware extensions and multiple component Trojans, either of which may represent a meaningful security risk to any PC.
