NEVER call this Microsoft number!
HTML-код

- Pop-up warning messages have happened to us all at one point. Sometimes, they are legitimate infections. But the majority of the time, they are simply scareware messages to make you call the number on the screen to remove the "infection". In this video, I explain what those popup messages usually are, and how you can VERY easily make them go away. Don't spend money having your computer "fixed" when it's absolutely not necessary!
Hope you guys enjoy this!

It happened to me a few times but I haven't encountered one of those in quite a while now....
The first time it happened me, I got a little panicky because it was just like you said. I couldn't close it, and it even had an audio component to it that kept repeating. All I wound up doing was closing the browser, and then reopened it. It didn't come back after that. *Whew* (I don't recall how I did it though... I either minimized the browser window, and closed it or I opened up Task Manager, and shut it down that way)
All I remember was the next time it happened, I didn't get flustered, and I knew exactly what to do.
I've seen this on a public PC at the Library. People who are not computer-savvy won't understand that this pop-up message is not from Microsoft. It is a fake. You should be able to close the web browser and it will go away
Sir, but did you know that a better way to end the browser is to use the shortcut alt+f4? It will close the selected window. You can also use task manager by pressing ctrl+shift+esc if you configured it to always show on top, because else, it won't show through the full screen mode.
yes, but in my experience, you'd not believe how many people can't grasp hitting ALT-F4 at the same time. Both of the methods i describe are one-click solutions that also will work. You're not wrong, but I try to keep it simple for "simple" folks :)
Also a bit more advanced for novice users is doing the ctr, alt, delete to bring up task manager and just click on the browser and end task
I considered that, but with multiple possible browsers, a novice user might not know which process to kill
Unfortunately, my wife runs across these types of issues of 'Scareware' pop-ups occasionally on her PC but more frequently on her mobile phone. Heck I've even had them happen on my Android mobile phone, generally with Google's news feeds _(left swipe screen)._
It's important for people to know what's real and what isn't 👍
.. generally what I do is CTRL + ALT + DEL and kill Chrome.
that works, too!
Thanks! 👍😁
You bet!
Ah, yes, the good ole drive-by pop-over. Lol. I get at least 1-2 calls weekly for these. "But Microsoft says..." I always ask them, "If you run over a nail and get a flat, do your car or tire manufacturers contact you to let you know?" 😂 Nicely done, as always.
Thanks!
Thank You
You're welcome
Good timing, I had a Trojan so I wiped the drive and new win 10 every thing is great again but when I power it off like you did the laptop looks off, but the fan speeds up and runs until I hold
the power button down like you did, Do you know how help me on this one Thanks.
your laptop should not go into "overdrive" when you put it into sleep mode. You may have something running in the background that is causing excessive hard drive usage. I would recommend a scan with MalwareBytes to eliminate any running malicious processes:
Ask Your Computer Guy: What is that 'clock' device over your multi-drive clone tool?
LOL took me a second to figure out what you asked...it's a tablet, showing active subscriber count :)
LOL!! If I get out my "good" reading glasses I can see the word!
Thank you so much, and I'm glad I subbed! ... and the Nico knows yt'er.@@AskYourComputerGuy
@RichardGeorge-lb4fy 😂👍
9 Windows settings EVERY user should change NOW!:
In that video, you created a " Mr. White " LOCAL acct.
Does that account have FULL admin privileges?
Never mind, I just saw that your Mouse arrow and the little Blue circle are covering the Administrator word
👍
It does
Hello i really need help im desperate i tried almost everything out there also tron and im sure the trojan is gone bit my windows defeder keeps showing i have a trojan:win32/malgent even though when i go to the details where it is it isnt anymore cus i deleted it what should i do?
If TronScript can't remove it, sounds like a full Windows reinstall is in order. Could be a rootkit virus, I'd give TDSS killer a shot first
🤣🤣 This used to happen to me back in the old days/XP
😂
Hello. My pc freezes and my keyboard and mouse doesn't work I must force shutdown my pc. Sometimes it freezes in startups. I get BSOD too. What should I do?

How do we get Malware Bytes
www.malwarebytes.org :)
your volume just went out!
Check your end. Plays fine on RUclips for me on this side 🤷♂️
Thanks, I did. All the youtube channels I checked were fine, volume good. A mystery! Thanks for a great video, I'll try later to see if I can get the volume to work. Greenville, NC @@AskYourComputerGuy
appreciate the update....I'll also check it again in a few minutes. It has happened to me once before on a RUclips video, but it was one I uploaded 2 years ago - suddenly just got garbled, no idea why :(
I use Linux Mint as my Daily Operating System, it has been since support for Windows 7 ended.
Stay tuned...got a "Windows expert switches to Linux Mint" video in the works :)
@@AskYourComputerGuy Would recommend a how-to section for running Windows-programs on Linux (Wine-settings and what-not).
That will definitely be on there! The focus of the video will be to show actual novice computer users just how simple (or hard) switching to Linux would realistically be ...pros, cons, learning curve, etc. Wine will definitely be covered :)
@@AskYourComputerGuy Do older games, like Tiberian Sun which is now freeware.
In my experience, old games can't run properly or at all on newer systems.
I'll try a mix of old and new - people want the whole package, pros and cons :)
reminds me of a APK file I had on my phone that did one thing an that's cover my phone with notifications of junk like this XD deleted that bastard
Yup. Androids are famous for that
I actually like to take viruses head on as they are running on the computer. It's kind of like a really fun game to me
I agree. Glad it's not just me lol! I always considered what I do with an infected machine similar to a reconstruction artist with a damaged work of art
@@AskYourComputerGuy you learn so much so quickly. Even if you fail. After you fail you can find out through other people what happens, and then compensate later on. Eventually you start to see patterns in these computer viruses that show where you should look the next time around and it is really awesome for that
@LazarusIRL agreed
Don't walk in the Road When You see a Bus or Truck coming Either ... Oh Sorry I thought We were playing the Obvious Game
Unfortunately, these scareware pop-ups are not that obvious to novice users. That's why I make these videos :)
@@AskYourComputerGuyit's okay buddy just ignore the asshole
