Pornographic virus alert from Microsoft

Microsoft has issued a warning to users of Windows 10, saying that the latest update for the OS is causing pornographic websites to be blocked. The company says it will issue an update in the next few days that will address this issue.

The microsoft virus alert on computer is a message that was sent out by Microsoft. This warning is for pornographic content that has been found on your computer and it may be dangerous to your computer.

The fake Microsoft virus warning is a pop-up scam created by cyber fraudsters to get you to contact their number and pay them to repair the pop-up.

I’ll explain what the Microsoft Pornographic Virus warning is and how you can get rid of it.

A Microsoft pop-up warning about a pornographic virus will appear when you visit any porn or dating website.

This pop-up will block your computer, stating that it has been blocked for security reasons and instructing you to contact a toll-free number to resolve the issue.   

Microsoft’s Pornographic Virus Alert is a bogus pop-up.

You may believe that you have an antivirus software installed on your computer that will identify this malware. NO is the answer.

Antivirus software can only identify viruses or infections.

However, the pop-up you received on your computer is not a virus or any other kind of malware; it is just a blocking pop-up that prevents you from using your browser.       

This is how the message appears on the screen.

MICROSOFT’S PORNOGRAPHIC VIRUS ALERT This machine has been PASSWORD PROTECTED. Close this window and do not restart your computer without first contacting assistance. For your safety, we’ve locked this computer since you’ve been visiting dangerous pornographic websites. Your machine has been infected with a computer virus. To have your PC fixed, call the Microsoft hotline. If you do not call, you will get a notification at your home. Toll-free number for Microsoft Security:

Alert from Microsoft Support We’ve discovered a virus on a pornographic website that may damage your data and monitor your financial transactions. Please notify Microsoft about this behavior.

Other pop-ups and internet frauds include VIRUS ALERT FROM MICROSOFT and IRS Online Scams, among others. Also have a look at these.

Is your computer also being banned by Microsoft’s Pornographic Virus Alert?

DO NOT WORRY, if you have received a notice from Microsoft stating that your computer has been infected with a pornographic virus, here is what you should do.

1. You just received the message and haven’t called the number yet.

Please do not contact this number if you have received this pop-up on your computer. This mail is a hoax made by fraudsters in order to steal your money.

Continue reading the article to learn how to solve this issue.         

2. You’ve already dialed the phone number.

You may be alarmed by this warning and dial the number given on the pop-up.

Your call is routed to an agent with an Asian accent who promises to resolve the bogus problem in exchange for a monetary payment.

As they frighten you by stating, their money demand may be huge.

• Your network has been hacked.
• Your machine has been infected with Malware and Trojans.
• Your online banking and personal information are at danger.

You may have paid them anything from $200 to $1000 to get rid of this Microsoft Pornographic Virus Alert issue; if so, do the following two steps right now.

• Call your bank to cancel the charges, as well as your credit card.
• Call a local expert or a reputable internet professional to clean your computer and ensure that no hazardous malware or virus has been left behind.

NOTE: Although the steps to FIX this issue are included at the bottom of this post, we strongly advise you to read the whole text.

I’ll share two complaints from my customers who received a warning from Microsoft stating that their machine had been infected with a pornographic virus when browsing dating and porn sites.

One of the users even paid the con artists $1899.99.

This fraud was reported by Donna Gregory.

“We’re being bombarded with complaints,” said Donna Gregory of the Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3), referring to the Reveton ransomware outbreak.

Microsoft has issued a pornographic malware warning.

– USER Good day, Sir. Microsoft has issued a Pornographic Virus Alert, and my PC has been banned.

I was on a dating site when I received a message that blocked my screen, stating that my computer had been infected as a result of some questionable actions, and that I should contact the toll-free number immediately once.

We already have Avast Antivirus, which recently issued a Malware warning for IDP.Generic. I’m not certain.

Should I make a phone call to that number?

ME: – NO, this is a SCAM in which these individuals will send you a bogus pop-up on your browser and then mislead you into calling them to collect your money.

Microsoft has issued a pornographic malware warning, according to Complain B.

– USER Hello, My PC was stopped by a notification from Microsoft stating that there was a Pornographic malware warning. I am 65 years old.

I was on a pornographic website when I received this Virus, so I called the number and learned that my computer had been hijacked and that some hazardous virus had infected it.

They entered my computer remotely and charged me $700 to repair the problem. I’m still not sure whether this is legitimate or a scam.

ME:- I’m afraid to report that you’ve been duped, but don’t worry, I’ll assist you in recovering your funds and securing your computer.

Apple has issued a warning about a pornographic malware.                                             

This phony Apple Pornographic Virus Alert pop-up may show on your IOS screen, as well as Safari, Chrome, and other browsers.

If you’re an IOS user, and you’re wondering how you received this notice on your IOS device, keep in mind that IOS devices are more secure.

Let me be clear once more: this pop-up is just adware sent by fraudsters to frighten you.

When you contact the number provided, they will pretend to be from Apple and want a large sum of money to repair the problem.

How can I get rid of the Microsoft Pornographic Virus Alert POP-UP?

TECH SUPPORT SCAMS IN ACTION

These con artists have tarnished the name of Online Technical Support.

All elderly people were relieved to learn that they could have their issue repaired immediately at home for the same price as a local expert.

Read Microsoft’s consumer complaint report on the Pornographic Virus Alert.

Scammers began sending phony pop-ups to consumers, such as a Pornographic virus notice from Microsoft and a Pornographic virus alert from Apple.

They dupe individuals with phony and misleading threats on their computers and demand a lot of money to repair the issue using these pop-ups.

Fake TECH SUPPORT PROCESS

This SCAM is carried out in a methodical manner, with many individuals participating in accordance with their abilities and resources.

1. A variety of vendors use various ad networks to generate these pop-ups.   

As a result, we receive these pop-ups on our browser as soon as we visit those connected websites.

When running advertisements, these people utilize various criteria such as Age, Country, and Device. People who get these pop-ups should dial the provided number, which is then routed and sold to a bogus Call Center.

2. In the second phase, the fraudsters purchase these calls and attempt to sell products by convincing customers to solve a fictitious issue.

Question that is often asked

Is it true that Microsoft sends out urgent alerts?

Answer: – You will never be entertained by pop-ups, emails, or phone calls from Microsoft. 

Microsoft will give you update alerts that are needed for your machine, and if you have Microsoft Bitdefender protection installed, it will display and execute any risks and malware identified. 

Never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever

Is it possible for Microsoft to restrict your computer?

Answer: – This is another component of the fraudsters’ pop-up message claiming that Microsoft is about to ban your computer.

Microsoft Security and Firewall will merely alert you to any infection or danger, but will not stop you.

Is Microsoft capable of making phone calls?

Answer: – No, neither Microsoft nor its partners will ever contact you on the phone without your permission to alert you about a computer security or software update. 

Do not engage anybody who pretends to be a Microsoft employee or a Microsoft partner over the phone; they are SCAMMERS.

Are Pop-up Viruses a Thing?

Answer: – Not all pop-ups are viruses; some pop-ups are provided for informational purposes by legitimate websites.

However, dangerous software such as Malware may be found in many pop-ups. As a result, you must be aware of the kind of pop-ups you are receiving.

CONCLUSION

You must now be aware of the scams of Microsoft’s Pornographic Virus Alert and Apple’s Pornographic Virus Alert.

You should now be aware of what to do if you get similar messages or pop-ups in the future.

By sharing this information with your friends and family, you can keep others informed as well. Your one effort may prevent a lot of people from being conned.
