By GoldSparrow in Adware

The pop-up windows from Data-error-alert.com that you may see displayed on your computer might be presented to users infected with adware. The Data-error-alert.com domain that is registered at the 160.153.53.105 IP address is linked to several untrusted domains that are used to promote suspicious technical support services. The pop-up messages by Data-error-alert.com in your browser may refer to a problem with '895-system 32.exe failure', but their meaning is just to scare users. The adware linked to Data-error-alert.com might use runtime DLLs to show pop-up windows in all Web browsers that you installed and load an audio recording of a female voice that urges you to call 800-597-5598. Security researchers strongly advise against calling 800-597-5598 because you will not contact certified Microsoft assistants. The design of the Data-error-alert.com pop-up windows may feature a screenshot of an AV scan listing several security problems to persuade them to call 800-597-5598. However, Microsoft does not work with the technicians on 800-597-5598 that are associated with the untrusted Data-error-alert.com domain. The adware linked to Data-error-alert.com may have arrived on your PC along with third-party software like Web Monitor and Winner Media Player. Also, the fake technicians on 800-597-5598 may try to convince you that the '895-system 32.exe failure' is a critical system problem, and you need to allow them to connect your PC remotely. You should not give remote access to unknown individuals that use adware to advertise their services. Computer users should install a trustworthy anti-malware application that can find and remove the adware linked to Data-error-alert.com.
