Web surfers have to stay vigilant when a security alert is presented on their screens by a Web page. Web browser vendors like Google Inc, the Mozilla Foundation, Microsoft Corp., and Opera Inc. maintain Web filtering services and strive to block access to misleading information on the Internet. However, the con artists who are operating the 855-393-4537 phone line register dozens of domains each week with the aim to circumvent validation by public Web filters, AV companies and browser vendors. That is why the cybersecurity community relies on feedback and support from educated Internet users. If you find yourself redirected to suspicious security warnings and are welcomed to run a remote desktop tool — close your Internet client and consider running a complete system scan with a reliable anti-malware product.
