Error 3658ad79cc3021a is a fake alert which is shown for users with the intention of scaring them into dialing the promoted telephone number. It should not be hard to distinguish this fabricated alert from a real one because it usually comes from a domain mb065723715.club (mb065723715.club/gb/?a=1011&r_os=Windows&r_browser=&ip=88.202.230.9&r_src=Ip.securebrowser.com&r_src2=&). In other words, this URL will be visible in the address bar. If you already see it, ignore it completely and do not believe a word this pop-up contains. You should no longer see it after closing your web browser (it might be displayed for you if your default browser is Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, or Mozilla Firefox), but if it is not true and you keep seeing Error 3658ad79cc3021a every day, you will need to go to take care of malicious software actively working on your PC.
