The message might be similar to the Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) displayed by the Windows OS when a serious computer issue comes up, but we can assure you that it is completely fake even though it has the Microsoft Corporation logo.

The 1800-935-6918 Driver_irql_not_les_or_equal fake window is displayed Desktop not without reason. Cyber criminals know that users are more likely to pay attention to the provided message and, consequently, call the technical support, if they could not access their Desktops, surf the web, and perform other ordinary activities. The message placed on the blue window tries to convince users that “a problem has been detected and windows has been shutdown to prevent damage.” This blue window is not the only one users see when they turn on their computers. A small Microsoft Security Essentials pop-up claiming that “5 potential threats that might compromise your privacy or damage your computer” have been detected is shown for users too on top of the fake BSOD window. Do not worry; it is fake too even though it mentions the legitimate product. This is all done to make you call 1800-935-6918, which is said to be the toll-free number. To be honest, this might not be true at all, so you should not make a call by any means. According to researchers, it is very risky to do that because a) this number might be a premium-rate number rather than a toll-free one, b) cyber criminals at the other end of the line might record and steal your personal information, c) most probably, you will have to pay money to get the 1800-935-6918 Driver_irql_not_les_or_equal window removed, and d) cyber criminals might steal information from your computer if you allow them to access your PC remotely.

As you already know, malicious software is responsible for the irritating screen you see covering your Desktop. It has been opened when this malware has been installed on your computer. Unfortunately, it will not be that easy to find and delete it because it drops bsodc23x1.exe on the computer and changes the Value data of the Shell Value located in the Winlogon registry key (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon) so that it could be able to start automatically. This also means that the fake window will not disappear from Desktop after the system restart or a shutdown. In other words, the only way to make it gone is to detect malicious software and remove it completely from the system.
