A quick tip on rouge software

In the past month I have received several calls about a pop up security message, similar to these, 

DO NOT CLICK ON THESE POP UP WARNINGS.  

If you receive a message in a popup dialog box that resembles this warning, press ALT + F4 on your keyboard to close the dialog box. Do not click anything inside the dialog box, and do not click on any subsequent dialogue boxes that may pop up.  If a ongoing warning keeps appearing when you try to close the dialog box, it’s a good indication that the message is malicious.

If you see this message, do not purchase the software it promotes, do not install any program it suggests.

One tool that can provide you an oppurtunity to remove the software is Microsoft Security Scanner.  It is an excellent tool and works in the majority of infections.  If for whatever reason this program does not work, feel to contact me and we can get your system recovered.
