Ransomware Detected is a fake alert that can pop up on your screen when you land on a malicious page that tries to scam you. It seems that these technical support scams are constantly on the rise because our malware experts at anti-spyware-101.com have seen lots of them emerge in the past year, including "Microsoft Corporation Has Blocked Your PC fake alert," "Google Security Warning," and "Your System Is Heavily Damaged By Virus Tech Support fake alert," which are all very similar in their main goal. This fake alert is all about convincing, or rather, scaring you, to call the provided toll-free telephone number, which allegedly connects you to Microsoft technicians to help you with your current system error. You are told by this pop-up or pop-ups -- because there can be a couple of them -- that ransomware has been detected on your system and it may steal your credit card details and important login information as well. We are here to assure you that none of these claims are actually true. In fact, the only infection you may have on board is the one responsible for this fake alert. Therefore, we recommend that you remove Ransomware Detected right now so that you do not cause further security issues by exposing yourself to schemers. Read more »
