AppleCare And Warranty Scam

If you see a warning that tells you about suspicious activity on your PC, the chances are high that you have encountered AppleCare And Warranty Scam. Just like similar scams, it wants you to believe that security-related problems have emerged and, as a consequence, you need to take action right away. We can assure you that a “harmful virus” AppleCare And Warranty Scam tells you about does not exist on your computer. Instead, the chances are high that you have an advertising-supported application (adware) installed on your computer if the fake warning is displayed to you periodically. Of course, you could have opened a dubious domain with this scam too. In the latter case, you will just need to close your browser and do not allow it to restore websites visited previously. Sadly, it turns out that users have untrustworthy software installed on their computers more often. If you cannot eliminate AppleCare And Warranty Scam from your screen once and for all by simply closing the web browser you use, it means that you will have to find and erase untrustworthy software from your MAC computer.

AppleCare And Warranty Scam will try to convince you that harmful malicious software has infiltrated your computer. It claims that it might damage the firewall at any time, “which can result in data loss or hard drive crash.” Yes, this warning is quite convincing, but we are sure that there is nothing to worry about because it was made just to scare users into dialing a telephone number it promotes. As our specialists have noticed, it usually leaves 1-888-621-0834 for users, but the number used might change. Do not dial the telephone number you see on the displayed warning because the chances are high that you will contact cyber criminals instead of the technical support that will help you to remove malicious software from your computer. We are sure they will try to convince you that you need to purchase antimalware software to delete malware from your computer. The tool you purchase from them might be completely useless or even malicious. Because of this, you should definitely not buy it. Do not pay money to cyber criminals even if they promise to clean the computer remotely for you because there is nothing to delete from it. It is more likely that personal information will be stolen from your computer if you grant bad people access to your PC. Finally, we cannot promise you that you will not get a huge telephone bill after making a call.
