Seeing this malware infection on your screen can mean that a malicious program has found its way to enter your system. This infection can come in a free software bundle, which may contain other malicious software installers as well. Therefore, if you find this fake alert on your computer, there could be adware programs, browser hijackers, Trojans, and potentially unwanted applications, too. It is always risky to install a software bundle because you may let malicious components on board if you are not cautious enough. We recommend that you always go for custom or advanced installation options because a lot of times this is the only way for you to see the real contents of a bundle. Otherwise, it is also advisable to read the agreement before you mark “I agree” because it may also reveal certain changes to be made to your browser settings and so on.

You can also easily infect your system with a bundle of threats if you click on corrupt third-party ads. It is possible when there is at least one adware program on your computer and it generates such ads.

Even though we know that all the information on this error screen is fake and made-up, it may not be that obvious for inexperienced computer users. After some time a pop-up window also appears that is labeled as “Microsoft Security Essentials” and it shows you an allegedly “toll-free” telephone number to call (+1-888-496-5150).
