“Your Windows Computer is Infected With (4) Viruses!” – Spread
In order for you to start seeing pop-ups that display to you the fake error type of message, named “Your Windows Computer is Infected With (4) Viruses!”, it is likely that you might have a potentially unwanted program or malware installed directly on your computer.
If your PC has been compromised by a PUP (Potentially Unwanted Program), the cause of this may be bundled software that you may have downloaded along with other installers of third-party freeware programs. Such installers often aim to include third-party programs as a part of generating money to the website publishers. However, some sites that offer free software may also bundle programs that may cause advertisements and other unwanted activities on your computer, like the PUP that may be behind the “Your Windows Computer is Infected With (4) Viruses!” pop-ups on your web browser.
Besides this, another likely cause for you receiving the “Your Windows Computer is Infected With (4) Viruses!” browser redirect message is if you have clicked on a website that is suspicious and has a JavaScript code which automatically causes the browser redirect. In this case, you will need a pop-up blocking software or advanced protection for your web browser against browser re-directions.
Another likely cause of you seeing the “Your Windows Computer is Infected With (4) Viruses!” message on your web browser is that your computer may be infected by an Adware Trojan, or the so-called Trojan.Clicker, which can generate clicks and re-directions to third-party websites it wishes. In this case, it is essential that you pay attention to the overall security of your computer system and scan it for malware.
“Your Windows Computer is Infected With (4) Viruses!” – Activity + Purpose
When you see this pop-up on your computer, you are most likely to receive the following message alongside it:
Text from image:
“Your Windows Computer is Infected With (4) Viruses!
Your device is infected With (4) Viruses. Th’e pie-scan found possible traces of (3) malware 2 February 2018
and (1) phishing/spyware. Your system is at risk of irreversible damage – Immediate removal advised!
Scanning and cleaning is advised to prevent further system damage, loss of personal data, photos and
passwords.Traces of (1) Phishing/Spyware has been found on your computer. Personal and banking information
may at risk.”
The message which cleverly pretends that Windows has detected several specifci instances of malware on the victim’s computer also exists under other variants as well.
The messages may also include instructions on how to download a “hoax scanner” type of unwanted software. These programs, often advertised as PCSmartCleanup or MacKeeper often aim to scan your computer and may display fake detections of errors and malware in it, but in order to fix this malware, they ask you to pay a hefty license fee in order to buy the full product which has malware removal capabilities. While this is a common practice with most legitimate programs, the fake scanners and cleaners, such as the ones mentioned above which are spread via those fraudulent Windows virus detection messages are often simply scams that aim for your credit card details or your money and they are NOT to be trusted.
In addition to aiming at your money and information, the web links may also lead you to a second and even third redirects to random domains, for example s832b29dd.xyz which may track information from your computer or run cryptocurrency miners that may mine for BitCoin or Monero, using your CPU and GPU power.
Furthermore, those third-party redirects plus the software that may be causing those pop-ups to appear on your computer system may both use different tracking technologies on your PC, such as:
- Pixels.
- Flash Cookies.
- Web Cookies.
- Session Cookies.
- Tags.
- Geo-locators.
These may be used in order to obtain different information from your PC, such as:
- Your account registration information.
- Language you are working on.
- The location based on your IP address.
- Your web browsing activity.
- Your browsing history.
- Preffered websites.
- Online clicks and searches you perform.
This information may be used for different purposes on your computer system, such as to collect what you have typed and use the most often used keywords by you to display targeted advertisements to websites which you are likely to click on. However, along those sites the PUP, related to “Your Windows Computer is Infected With (4) Viruses!” may also redirect you to other third-party sites that may even infect your computer with malware. So, the solution that will likely end this cycle of adware is either your computer breaking down as a result of malware infection corrupting Windows files or you fixing your PC or other device on which you see those messages by reading the instructions in the removal paragraph below.
