Cravehelp.info

By GoldSparrow in Browser Hijackers

Cravehelp.info is used by cyber fraudsters to display a window containing a bogus message claiming that the affected computers are infected with threats and their users need to call a technical support phone number, 866-957-4919, to get help and solve the alleged problems that are putting their machines and data in danger. Affected computer users should not pay attention to these messages since they are not based on any real detection and are created with the sole purpose of scare computer users, make them believe that they need urgent help and then ask for the payment of a fee (that may be quite expensive) without giving anything in return other than monetary loss. Another function of Cravehelp.info is to collect information that include financial data, passwords, and bank accounts and increase traffic to its sponsored websites. Cravehelp.info also may be very annoying because in addition to the fake pop-ups, it also can display advertisements that may cover the Web pages you are visiting, install other adware programs and PUPs, turn Web pages' text into hyperlinks and interfere with the normal speed of your machine. Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Googler Chrome and other Web browsers may be affected by Cravehelp.info. Computer users should be very observant while installing free programs because they may have additional inclusions such as Cravehelp.info that users may allow to be installed with the main program. A good malware remover can erase the adware behind Cravehelp.info for good.
