The pop-up ads only get more intrusive and more stubborn as time passes because the hackers are trying to make you believe your machine is compromised with malware.

How did I get infected with?

If you’re seeing this phishing website on the PC screen, that is a clear sign your computer has been infected with some adware parasite or other potentially unwanted program. Unfortunately, hackers tend to be incredibly creative when it comes to virus distribution so it’s not easy to say exactly how your device got compromised. The most likely scenario, however, is that you installed some freeware from an unreliable website and you didn’t pay much attention to the installation process. A huge percentage of cyber viruses apply the stealthy mechanism of freeware bundling. Now, this may be one of the oldest tricks in the books but it works like a charm and causes a headache to thousands of people every year. All that hackers need to do is attach the parasite to a bundle of programs. You do the rest. Keep in mind that the only way to stay in control of the software that enters your device is to opt for the advanced/custom option in the Setup Wizard. It’s your responsibility to deselect anything unfamiliar because otherwise there is a great possibility that you’ll end up compromising your own computer. Other popular distribution methods are spam email-attachments, corrupted web links, messages from unknown senders and third-party commercials. Make sure you stay away from all of them as they they surely bring nothing but trouble.

Why are these ads dangerous?

Security.comrtx.com can’t cause you harm directly; it needs your active cooperation. That’s why its developers make a huge effort to convince you that your computer is compromised. Once you believe them (which you might, thanks to the endless pile of Security.comrtx.com’s fake warnings), you will be asked to call a bogus tech support number which is supposed to help you fix the issues. Do we need to tell you this is a scam? All crooks care for is your money; your cyber safety is not a part of the picture. Even if you do trust the pop-ups and call for help, they only thing you will succeed in is to sponsor hackers. The whole idea behind Security.comrtx.com is to deceive PC users by playing nasty mind games. Talk about being devious. All “services” Security.comrtx.com “kindly” offers are nothing but a rip off that must be avoided. The parasite works through a malicious browser extension that it adds to Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer. In addition, Security.comrtx.com serves as a back door to other infections and it could even install some highly questionable software without your permission. The virus also steals your browsing-related information and if the thought that hackers have access to your personal data doesn’t make you anxious, it definitely should. To top it all, due to the parasite’s presence, your entire PC system will underperform and often crash. If you decide to get rid of the sly Security.comrtx.com parasite manually, please follow the removal steps below.
