Fake security software and technical support services are often marketed by spam advertisement aggressively. Not only are users often bombarded with pop-ups and other advertisements, but the messages in these advertisements are exaggerated heavily if not outright made up. This is the case with the 'Your system is heavily damaged by (4) Four virus!' pop-ups. These advertisements use social engineering techniques to scare the users into believing that their system has been infected with malware. Additionally, they time-pressure the users by stating that they may have data collected if they do not take measures immediately.

The 'Your system is heavily damaged by (4) Four virus!' pop-ups suggest that the user takes advantage of their offer and install their software, which is meant to take care of all the issues that are supposedly present on the system. It is better to ignore the offer of the 'Your system is heavily damaged by (4) Four virus!' pop-ups as the application marketed may be useless at best and harmful at worst.

There have been reports by users which point out that the 'Your system is heavily damaged by (4) Four virus!' pop-ups are tailored based on the operating system, as well as the device on which they are being exhibited. Apparently, the 'Your system is heavily damaged by (4) Four virus!' pop-ups have been spotted on iOS, OSX, Windows and Android devices.

You should keep in mind that pop-up ads are not able to scan your device in a way that would determine whether there are system issues, so such messages are always to be ignored. If a website or an advertisement claim to be able to avoid their products and services definitely as they are likely to be bogus.

Stay away from shady websites, which are promoting the 'Your system is heavily damaged by (4) Four virus!' pop-ups. In case you keep seeing these pop-ups, you may want to scan your system with a legitimate anti-malware tool to see if your system has been tampered with in any way.
