If you are taken to a notification that reads ATTENTION! CHECK YOUR PC, it is very likely that your PC carries an adware program. The ATTENTION! CHECK YOUR PC pop-up should not be taken for granted because it is a pop-up advertisement aimed at making you click the CONTACT SUPPORT button, which takes you to a deceptive installer. The ATTENTION! CHECK YOUR PC pop-up is displayed on the screen after you click on some pop-up warning claiming that your video player is outdated. It is highly advisable to ignore such pop-up warning because they usually take computer users to unreliable websites. Moreover, it is highly advisable to remove the adware program that redirects you to the ATTENTION! CHECK YOUR PC web page, and the sooner you do it the better.
