‘System-updates.info’ Pop-Ups

Posted: May 19, 2015

System-updates.info is an advertising-related domain that promotes intrusive pop-up ads on computers infected with adware or a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP). Computer security experts have discovered that pop-ups from System-updates.info display false security alerts and prompt users contacting their fake technicians. The tech support offered by System-updates.info is considered unreliable as such 'live technicians' would require remote access to your system for creating more infections. In additions, sometimes users are redirected to System-updates.info as a means of generating online traffic. However, it is important to remember that pop-ups from System-updates.info should be ignored and may be a sign of a PC infection. In other cases, pop-ups from System-updates.info are associated with a browser hijacker and 'Norton.security.info' pop-ups. It is advised to scan your system, find and remove the infection that is causing it.
