The 'Error code: 0x000314CE' pop-ups are compromised messages that may appear in popular Web browsers such as Google Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer. These messages often contain an error alert that focuses on 'Error code: 0x000314CE', a made-up alert that doesn't exist. However, because of the way the 'Error code: 0x000314CE' pop-ups are crafted, they may seem legitimate and many of the users who see these pop-ups may be tricked into believing that there is something wrong with their computers. Apart from reporting a made-up error, the 'Error code: 0x000314CE' pop-ups also invite users to call either 800-014-8826 or 800-903-1657. Both of these numbers supposedly belong to a certified team of Microsoft computer technicians who'll guide users and help them resolve the 'Error code: 0x000314CE' error.

However, both the 'Error code: 0x000314CE' message and the technical support provided by the people that answer the phone numbers that accompany it are fake, and you can rest assured that this error isn't causing any problems and that calling the phone numbers will not get you any help. The 'Error code: 0x000314CE' pop-ups may appear when users install a dubious piece of software that may change their Web browser's behavior unknowingly. Browser hijackers are one of the tools used to inject 'Error code: 0x000314CE' in users' Web browsers commonly, but the people behind this tactic also may use sophisticated threats for this purpose. The presence of the 'Error code: 0x000314CE' pop-ups may limit your Web browser's performance severely and prevent you from browsing the Web as you are used to. It is important to take action by installing a potent anti-malware solution and using its security modules to detect and remove the source of the 'Error code: 0x000314CE' pop-ups immediately.
