The malicious Windows Firewall Blocked The Internet scam is not the first and definitely not the last scam of this nature. In fact, we have discussed '44-8000-903-274' Pop-Ups – which are very similar – in one of the recent reports. Other scams that our Anti-Spyware-101.com malware researchers have reviewed quite recently include “Windows Health Is Critical FAKE Tech Support popup,” “Unknown Security Breach Popup,” and “Call Windows Help Desk Immediately at 0800-090-3840.” All of these scams use similar tactics, and all of them are meant to trick the user into thinking that they need technical assistance over the phone. What happens if you call schemers who are posing as Microsoft technicians? If you do this, they can ask you to identify yourself by disclosing private information. Later on, this data could be used to scam you. In many cases, schemers attempt to trick users into downloading software that enables remote access. If you grant schemers remote access to your operating system, many bad things could happen. For example, more malicious infections could be downloaded, in which case, you would have more things to worry about and more threats to delete.
