Fake Virus Alert by Removepop.co Removal Help - Stop Annoying Pop-up from IE/ Chrome / Firefox

Windows Virus Alert? Bogus Message!


An IE user's report:

"When I open my browser, a page of removepop.co domain comes. It looks like a virus detecting report, describing that my computer is badly infected. I can't close this pop-up. It seems quite serious, should I call the given number 1-800-407-1322 for help?"


You should know removepop.co pop-up is offered by an adware. It is a fake message. If you call the offered number, you will be required to pay for the so-called tech support sooner or later. The listed virus on this page does not exist in your computer. What you should worry about is the adware which is delivering annoying pop-up.


The adware comes from freeware. When you install some unreliable freeware, they will modify your browsers' setting, then your browser is hijacked by malicious page like removepop.co. Ironically this site sends pop-up instead of removing. You should try to get rid of it completely, otherwise it will come again and again.
