'Accuratetechnology.in' Pop-Ups

By GoldSparrow in Adware

PC security analysts have received reports of pop-up messages associated with Accuratetechnology.in, a fake technical support service that is designed to take money from inexperienced computer users. Accuratetechnology.in may display pop-up messages that are designed to make computer users believe that their computers are infected with various types of severe threats. The Accuratetechnology.in messages claim that computer users have to call an included telephone number in order to remove these supposed threat infections. PC security researchers strongly advise against calling the Accuratetechnology.in number. Doing this may result in financial losses as well as increase the possibility of becoming a victim of identity theft. Computer users shouldn't interact with the Accuratetechnology.in messages in any way and instead remove any possible causes of these pop-up messages from their computers.

What may Cause Accuratetechnology.in Pop-Up Messages to Appear?

There are several reasons why Accuratetechnology.in messages may appear on a computer. Accuratetechnology.in content may appear on websites that have been compromised or that offer poorly regulated advertisement content. Accuratetechnology.in pop-ups may be caused by unwanted components that are already on a computer. These types of components that may be PUPs (Potentially Unwanted Programs), browser hijackers or adware, have all been associated with pop-up messages similar to those associated with Accuratetechnology.in. It is easy to tell the difference between these two causes:

  1. If Accuratetechnology.in messages are appearing on your Web browser only when you visit a particular website, then this may indicate that this website has been compromised or that its advertisement content is poorly regulated. PC security researchers recommend performing a scan of your computer with a reliable security program to ensure that you have not been exposed to any unwanted content.
  2. If Accuratetechnology.in messages are appearing on your Web browser repeatedly regardless of the websites you visit, then this may mean that an unwanted component has been installed on your Web browser. In these cases, computer users should take the appropriate steps to remove all components associated with Accuratetechnology.in from their Web browsers at once.

Stopping Content Associated with Accuratetechnology.in from Appearing on Your PC

The best way to deal with Accuratetechnology.in related content is using a reliable security program that is completely up-to-date. In most cases, the causes of Accuratetechnology.in may be low-level threats that may not be detected by security software. In these cases, computer users may need to use security programs that are designed to detect PUPs, adware and other low-level threats specifically. This may happen because most security programs are very good at detecting and removing threat infections such as Trojans and viruses, but may fail to detect low-level threats. After removing the problem from your computer, it may be necessary to undo unwanted changes made to your Web browser settings and even your Windows registry manually. In most cases, it also may be necessary to uninstall a component installed on your computer using 'Add and Remove Programs' on the Control Panel of your computer.

Why You should Avoid Calling the Phone Number Associated with Accuratetechnology.in

Computer users have reported that calling the phone number contained in the Accuratetechnology.in messages may result in a tactic in which an individual may try to gather data about them, including their average income, social security number and credit card data (putting them at risk for identity theft and other types of fraud). Computer users have also reported that the fake technical support service linked to Accuratetechnology.in may try to convince computer users to pay hundreds of dollars for a fake or low-quality anti-virus program and a bogus threat monitoring service. In most cases, computer users also may be convinced to install a RAT (Remote Access Trojan), supposedly for technical support purposes.
