Additionally, you are given a false sense of security pertaining to your computer because if it was not at risk before, it certainly would be at this point.
Use common sense while using the Internet and not be intimidated into using sites and/or products you are not familiar with or did not previously purchase the products. Stay clear of pop-up windows intimidating or enticing you into purchasing products; close out the pop-up window and continue with your task.
