'Windows Health Is Critical' Pop-Ups

The 'Windows Health Is Critical' pop-ups are corrupted Web browser messages, which might look helpful at first, but the truth is that they are full of fake information, which is meant to convince users that their computers' health and security are in danger. The pop-ups do this by displaying fake error codes, and messages, which state that the computer has become the target of threats, or the operating system has been corrupted, and users might lose important data if they don't attempt to fix the problem immediately. The 'Windows Health Is Critical' pop-ups researchers came across contain a fake Blue Screen of Death, accompanied by a short message saying that 'Windows Health Is Critical,' and users must contact technical support to resolve the problem immediately.

However, the 'Windows Health Is Critical' pop-ups don't want you to call your favorite technical support team. Instead, they tell you to call +46101388486, which is supposedly toll-free and can get users in touch with a support team that will help avoid system failure. However, this phone number does not appear to be linked to a reputable and certified support team and, instead, the complaints online show that +46101388486 is likely to belong a group of fraudsters who aim to trick people into paying them hundreds of dollars in exchange for computer software or services.

Obviously, both +46101388486 and the 'Windows Health Is Critical' pop-ups are part of the same tactic and should be ignored completely. Unfortunately, tactics like these have been popular on the Web for years, and it certainly it does not seem like they'll be going away soon. This is why we advise our readers to remember that Web browser messages claiming to contain important system or security information should not be trusted. Browser pop-ups are unable to tell you what the state of your computer is, and the ones that claim to do this are almost surely fake. If you encounter the 'Windows Health Is Critical' pop-ups while browsing the Web, you should close them immediately, and avoid visiting the website that you think spawned these pop-ups.
