Infected with Www.microsoft-security-essential-alert-warning.com? How frustrated.
Clicking any kind of links in Chrome or Firefox will redirect you to fake sites or advertisements that try to get you infected. One particular site is (visit at your own risk) www.microsoft-security-essential-alert-warning.com/threat,html , an obviously fake site that attempts to make you think your computer is infected with viruses and tells you to call scammer numbers. I found items labeled "superfish.com", a malware name I'm familiar with, and "newplayer". NewPlayer is an adware media player, though my aunt rarely downloads things to her computer so I don't know how she got it. I checked these and found "MPlayerPlus" installed in chrome, another adware virus. Note that the scam site I mentioned earlier has a broken ad banner on top, with subtitle "Ads by MediaPlayerPlus", though I'm not sure if this is part of the site, or the adware program on her machine. How should I remove this? I haven't changed or removed any programs or files since I discovered this problem. Thanks in advance.
However, Www.microsoft-security-essential-alert-warning.com alert virus has no real connection to Microsoft Security Essentials. The adware has no security protection capabilities and should not be trusted. This signature is designed to prevent access to sites that redirect users or perform actions to trick users into calling the scammer and installing misleading applications such as fake antivirus software. Of course the software and any support packages offered are bogus and will offer no help whatsoever in cleaning up the problem or protecting against any other threats.It is suggested to remove Www.microsoft-security-essential-alert-warning.com from the computer as soon as possible to avoid further damage. It is better to scan your computer with a powerful anti-spyware program like Spyhunter to check out the problem and remove viruses.
