By CagedTech in Adware

When you see the 866-933-5430 phone number listed on your screen, something may be wrong with your PC. The 866-933-5430 phone number is promoted on social media and pages like Kizifriv.org and Freegpssupport.com to provide technical support service to users. However, the 866-933-5430 phone line is used by fake computer technicians and may be associated with rogueware. The con artists on the 866-933-5430 phone line represent a fictional company called Apical Technologies that is advertised on social media and blog posts but is not registered officially. You should avoid calling 866-933-5430 if you experience BSOD and system crashes. The problems with your system might be caused by an application called VMC Media Player that is distributed to users via freeware packages. The VMC Media Player is promoted as a media player, but its functionality may differ from what you read on its description.

The VMC Media Player cannot load media files and is designed to connect to the Internet, download executable and register them as background services. The VMC Media Player may use plug-ins to cause system crashes and display a fake BSOD message. Your screen may be locked into the fake BSOD and restarting your PC may be your only option. PC users are offered by the VMC Media Player to call 866-933-5430 and write an email to info@supportservices365.com. Security investigators note that the messages associated with the 866-933-5430 phone number may mention threats like the Panda Banker and Svpeng to instill distress. PC users should not expect to receive help from certified technicians when calling the 866-933-5430 phone line. You should invest your trust into a reliable anti-malware program that can prevent apps like the VMC Media Player from activating on your system.
