Cyber fraudsters like to use the naivety and lack of technical knowledge of novice computer users and try to take advantage of it. One of the methods used by these con artists is to offer unnecessary technical support via warning messages stating that the users' computers are hosting threatening programs, and they need to call a provided number, in this case, 855-631-2719, to get help to solve the alleged issues. This phone number is offered on a fake pop-up message issued by a website named 9939114.info that is linked to a browser hijacker. The 9939114.info browser hijacker may have found its way to your computer as a supplemental component bundled with the installer of a useful third-party software. The message displayed by 9939114.info says that someone is trying to access your machine and if they accomplish the task, your data may be exposed to con artists and used to perform harmful actions. It also claims that your files may be erased, and your Operating System may collapse. If the computer users believe the message and call the provided number, they will talk to a fake technician that will charge a fee for providing technical support. Do not call this number; even if your computer is infected, these people are not the right helpers to contact. Instead, you should do whatever it takes to put this browser hijacker away from your machine. The safest way is using an anti-malware scanner that will locate and remove the browser hijacker related to 9939114.info.
