However, you should remain calm because there is no reason to believe you were infected with a virus and spyware. The bad JavaScript code that is loaded in the browser is contained in the browser and can not extract data from your PC. The author of the 'Error # S47452D' alert purposely mentioned that your account on social media, email account, and credit card details are at risk to urge you to call phone lines like 188-8609-6597 and 186-6811-0525. You are not provided with legitimate computer support on the 188-8609-6597 and 186-6811-0525 toll-free phone lines. These phone numbers are operated by con artists that aim to trick you into thinking a virus and spyware damaged your Windows OS. Usually, the crooks related to the 'Error # S47452D' warnings might use legitimate remote desktop tools like TeamViewer, LogMeIn and Join.me to access your machine remotely. The remote access would allow them to play animated scenarios of computer infection and generated misleading security scanner results that are supposed to provide proof you are infected. Instead of calling 188-8609-6597 and 186-6811-0525, you should use the task manager to terminate your browser's process and scan your computer for unwanted software that redirects you to sites like computerdebuggingsystemweb[.]online.
