Hello, I’m blocked out of my laptop now by a pop-up alert, and what can I do to that? It says “Windows has detected some suspicious activity from your IP address” and it also offers a hotline 1-866-633-3611 for technical assistance. I can’t close down this alert page, so should I call that toll free number for help? Or is it just a scam? Do you guys have any effective ways to help me get out of this issue? I want my computer work normally again.
What’s “Windows has detected some suspicious activity from your IP address” Alert Blocking Browser?
If you see the fake alert message below, you should notice that there is some malicious adware or malware installed into your computer, which actually causes the blocking alert popup on computer:
“Windows has detected some suspicious activity from your IP address. Some Spyware may have caused a security breach at your network location. Call Toll Free+1-866-633-3611 for Technical Assistance Or Visit Support.seurity.com”
Recently many victims are blocked by this false alert message above claiming to be from Microsoft and rip off a lot of money. Actually “Windows has detected some suspicious activity from your IP address” Alert is caused by a malicious adware or malware mainly designed by cyber criminals to make illegal money. This kind of scam usually displays false and scaring message to scare people by saying their computer may have threats or risks and urgently need tech support to solve it. So it offers the toll free number to cheat people into calling. But actually when you call this number, you will be asked to buy their software or program or service at a high price, and then next they will ask you a permission to remotely access your computer and install their software or program. But actually those software or programs are not useless and available. Once you let them access your computer, that remote scammer can put other malware or virus into your computer. To convince you that your computer actually has the virus, they will point out some normal computer files or programs as the virus thing and tells you that it needs to be uninstalled. But in fact, they can’t help you remove the malicious program, and the blocked “Windows has detected some suspicious activity from your IP address”page may be still there. Anyway, it aims at ripping people of money for purchasing unwanted and useless software or service. Once you see this false alert, you should figure out to remove it but don’t rush to send money for useless and stupid service.
