Online users who have received the "Your PC has Alerted us that it Has Been Infected with a Virus and Spyware" pop-up message below are asked not to call the +1-888-876-8163 telephone number in it or follow any other instructions in it. This is because the fake message is a scam, created by cybercriminals to trick their potential victims into believing their computers will be disabled. But, Microsoft or your ISP will never block or disable your PC.

Online users who are unable to close the pop-up message scam can use Task Manager to close their web browser. This is because the pop-up message is generated via your web browser and it doesn't mean that your computer is infected with a virus or other malware.
