Remove Macerror.us Pop-up - Get Rid of 855-294-3556 Phone Scam

Infected with Macerror.us? How frustrated.


Complains from computer user:

I got a popup while on Safari that had macerror.us. It said I had to call apple support giving a 855-294-3556 number. A guy with an Indian accent said he needed to connect my computer to a very secure server for a very short time to fix the problem. I declined. Is this legit? 

Macerror.us is a kind of adware infection which detects fake scan result to trick the computer users that their computer has virus. Macerror.us is designed to prevent access to sites that redirect users or perform actions to trick users into calling the scammer. Once gets into the computer, Macerror.us will compromise your browser and modify browser setting. When you surf the Internet, Macerror.us is capable to redirect you to its own domain and display the fake message which states that windows / Mac has detected some suspicious activity from your IP address. The false message asks you to call a number to get help.

However, you should never believe in the fake Macerror.us Pop-up alert. Macerror.us performs fake scans of the hard disk and then report multiple non-existent threats. To remove the threats, Macerror.us tells the user to call the number and connect with the fake tech support. The salesman asks the users to purchase a license for the software or service. Of course the software and any support packages offered by Macerror.us are bogus and will offer no help whatsoever in cleaning up the problem or protecting against any other threats. It is suggested to remove Macerror.us 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.
