Hi There,

In the last couple of years these Technical Support Businesses boosted the service based industries. This lead to bring more competitions. In the meanwhile, when people were gaining trust, there were scammers who were trying to take over this industry with the help of hacking and issue-causing-software(or tools).

You don’t believe it? or You do? In both the cases i assure you would love to read the below issue which is very famous and common.

You must be knowing about the issues where your Internet browser freezes while you try opening some website. All of a sudden you receive an error (or a message) on the screen that tells you to call a number (which falsely claims to be your Anti-Virus Support Number *but it is not!) You become worried, and in that direction you pick your phone up and make the call. Now, Here starts the important story you should know. An agent of some company picks up the call and *claims to be from your Anti-Virus Support. He investigates and informs you – “Oh my God! Your computer has a lot of viruses in it.  The hackers have attacked on your computer, your data is not safe anymore. If you do not take an action right now, then computer’s security is at risk.”

“Oh no! Oh my God! What should i do now?”- You Say. And all of a sudden some Agent tells you that he will take your computer on remote and will fix the issue as he has some malware removal software that will do things right. But in order to to get that software, there is some charge that starts from $49. You want your computers safety, so you pay and everything is good. Till now everything is fine. You happy! and The Company(where you called) is also happy!

Happily Ever After?.. No!

Now! let’s tell you the climax of the story. There are people who associate a pop-up tool to some websites that take you to a landing page. When you click (even by mistake) then that tool freezes your Internet Browser (IE) and your computer as well. Then you get the Pop-up to call. Now the question is why these people set those Pop-up tools to your websites? Because they are being paid by the company whose number flashes on your screen (as an error).
