OSFirewall.exe, OS Firewall for short, is part of the scareware menace, plaguing many Internet users. The nasty tool slithered into your system undetected and is now doing its best to scare you into falling for its treachery. Don’t believe anything the tool claims! It’s unreliable and undeserving of your trust. Understand that it’s programmed to prey on your panic, a panic, which it creates, and exploit you for gains. Whatever it claims, perceive it as a lie. OS Firewall falls under the umbrella of the Rogue.Tech-Support Scam. In other words, it showers you with bogus security notifications incessantly until you finally bite. Don’t let it win. Its endless pop-up alerts display various warnings, the most common being that your computer is corrupt in some way, and if you don’t address the issues, something horrible will happen. Naturally, it also provides you with a solution for the troubles. The troubles, which it made up. Supposedly, if you call its support line number, the people, who will answer it, will help you. It sounds amazing, doesn’t it? Too bad everything the tool promises is a blatant lie. First of all, all the issues are fake. Secondly, the support line is a scam. Thirdly, the people on the other line have everything else on their mind apart from helping you. Don’t trust such an untrustworthy program. The OS Firewall tool is an invasive, annoying, harmful infection. So, treat it as such, and delete it the first chance you get. Remove it from your system as soon as you possibly can. It’s the best course of action you can take.

How did I get infected with?

How do you suppose you got stuck with the OSFirewall.exe infection? It didn’t just show up out of the blue. In actuality, the tool duped you into agreeing to install it on your system. But don’t be too hard on yourself. Infections like it are masters of the arts of deceit. They’re quite resourceful when it comes to finding a way into your system. More often than not, they turn to the old but gold means of infiltration for assistance. That includes hitching a ride with freeware or spam email attachments, as well as hiding behind corrupted websites or links. However, one of the most commonly used methods of invasion is through fake updates. The tool pretends to be a bogus update, and while you’re convinced you’re updating your Java or Adobe Flash Player, you’re installing a dangerous cyber infection. Since OS Firewall, and applications like it, prey on carelessness, don’t provide it. Being extra attentive will surely help you keep such pesky programs away from your system. Don’t give into distraction, naivety, and haste and always do your due diligence. Even a little extra attention goes a long way.

Since the tool’s installation will take up space and resources, your system will begin to crash frequently. What’s more, your computer’s performance will slow down to a crawl. But these are the ‘pleasant’ inconveniences, the minor ones. You’ll be faced with much worse. The more you ignore the tool’s presence on your PC and allow it to remain, the worse your predicament will get, and the more issues, you’ll be forced to deal with. Once OS Firewall sneaks into your system, it begins to display pop-up alerts. You’ll see messages, cluing you into the existence of countless, scary threats, lurking on your PC. And, you’ll see them incessantly. That’s certainly ironic, considering the only threat, you should be worrying about is OS Firewall. Also, don’t think you’ll be able to escape these continuous ‘system scans’ and their ‘results.’ The infection is programmed to perform the bogus scans daily, and to display the made-up results continuously. It attempts to frighten you by stating that these supposed threats, it discovered, jeopardize your personal and financial information, Facebook chat history, login information, etc. It uses every card it has up its sleeve so that it can get you to panic and trust its ‘solutions.’ That would be a horrendous mistake. Don’t make it. If you do end up calling their support number, the people on the line will do everything in their power to sell you technical support services, applications, software, everything they can think of so as to scare you into paying for something you don’t need to solve a problem, you don’t have. The people behind OS Firewall are crooks, interested in getting their hands on your money with made-up, scary-looking threats. Don’t fall for their deceit. Don’t let them put you in a panic. Don’t trust anything OS Firewall displays. It’s nothing more than a nasty cyber infection, designed to display bogus pop-up alerts to scare you enough into believing its lies. As soon as you see its first ‘scan result’ show up on your screen, find and delete the malicious tool. Do yourself a favor, and do it sooner rather than later. It’s not worth keeping.
