If you use a suspicious file-sharing page to download free software or free movies, you can easily drop a bundle of all kinds of malware infections. But it is also possible to do so when you happen to click on unreliable third-party content while surfing the web.

You are led to believe that this supposed virus can steal important information from you, including your social media logins and your banking details. This is why you are pushed to call "(855) 700 0815" within 5 minutes of the appearance of the pop-up. Of course, this is all fake.
