Your computer is not infected with the viruses mentioned in the fake warning. If you got this pop-up, please close the tab or browser and do not follow the on screen instructions.

WARNING!
Your Computer May be Infected:
1(855)-207-5505
For emergency Tech Support call immediately

Keep in mind that errormessagenumber.com is just one of many websites that may display fake warnings saying that your computer is infected or that your personal and financial information may not be secured. Usually, such websites are not malicious. However, it might be difficult to close them. They are coded so that when you try to close a tab a message pops up to "confirm navigation". If you are using Chrome you can open a Chrome task manager by pressing and holding SHIFT +ESC keys. Then just close the tab that displays 1(855)-207-5505 scam. Or you could fire up the Windows Task Manager and force close your web browser. Both methods should work just fine.

Fraudulent tech support sites promote bogus malware and system scanners. What is more, scammers may install spyware on your computer and a remote control program allowing full access to your computer. Needles to say, you should be very careful and check every phone number or website claiming that your computer is infected or has other serious problems. Very often a simple Google search reveals the truth and unmasks scammers.

If your computer is infected with adware or PUPs that display fake virus warning or tech support scams then you should run a full system scan with recommend anti-malware software. Generally, adware and PUPs arent usually malicious, but watch out because they might well leave you open to attacks from something far nastier. That aside, they're also a pain in the behind! When you're downloading something, read the End User License Agreement carefully and check or uncheck boxes relating to bundled software and you'll be far more likely to remain clear of Zap Tilla and similar threats!

If you have questions, leave a comment down below. I will be more than happy to help you. Good luck and be safe online!
