By GoldSparrow in Browser Hijackers

The Chromealert.xyz Web page that users may be presented via a pop-window is not a proper system alert that you should be worried about. What you should be worried about is that you might be infected with a browser hijacker that is designed to redirect users to Chromealert.xyz. The Chromealert.xyz pop-up windows may be tagged as a 'SYSTEM ERROR WARNING,' but they are generated by a browser hijacker program—not your OS. The Chromealert.xyz browser hijacker appears to serve the purpose of scaring users with fake errors related to a file named '895-system 32.exe.' Security researchers underline that the file mentioned before is not a native Windows file that is used by the OS to maintain its functions. The pop-up messages from Chromealert.xyz may direct users to call certified technician on (844)-368-1562 to rectify their issues.

Security researchers report that the (844)-368-1562 phone number is registered to a bird house in Edwardsville, Illinois, USA and that should raise a red flag. Computer users will not receive adequate technical assistance on (844)-368-1562, which is promoted by a browser hijacker program. Moreover, the message on Chromealert.xyz is nearly identical to fake BSOD-alerts that are loaded on Data-error-alert.com, Computer-support.co.in and Windows-crash-report.info. All domains mentioned before are associated with browser hijackers and should not be trusted. The browser hijacker program linked to Chromealert.xyz might use JavaScript to keep users on the Chromealert.xyz Web pages and prevent them from closing their Internet browser or open a new tab page. However, you could close your browser by killing its process within the Windows Task Manager. It appears that the content on Chromealert.xyz is tailored to affect Google Chrome users and may not appear correctly in Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox. Computer users can benefit from installing a renowned anti-malware shield that provides customer support and can delete the Chromealert.xyz browser hijacker.
