'Browseprevention.info' Pop-Ups

By GoldSparrow in Adware

The Browseprevention website is used to promote fake technical support services on the 844-252-4480 phone number. Users may experience pop-ups in their browsers from Browseprevention.info. The adware related to Browseprevention.info and its .org clone is dispersed among users with the help of freeware bundles that most users do not bother to install with the 'Custom' or 'Advanced' option. The Browseprevention.info adware may use an executable DLL file to manipulate your Internet browser and avoid appearing in your 'Control Panel'. However, the Browseprevention.info adware will manifest by showing pop-up windows that feature a red background and say 'IMPORTANT: You may have spyware/adware.' The Browseprevention.info pop-ups may claim that your credit card information, chat logs of IM clients and account passwords may be at risk, and you need to call 844-252-4480 to avoid losing data. As stated above, the only purpose of the Browseprevention.info adware is to scare users into calling 844-252-4480 and your passwords and credit card data are not threatened by adware. Computer users that are presented with pop-ups by Browseprevention.org should not give into panic and avoid calling 844-252-4480 where scammers will attempt to convince you into giving them remote access to your PC. Needless to say, giving scammers access to your computer may result in severe damages and possible infection with CryptoDefense. You may want to seek the help of a trusted anti-malware application that can purge adware related to Browseprevention.info and prevent similar software from entering your PC.
