The ‘Your Computer is Being Tracked’ Virus

The ‘Your Computer is Being Tracked’ message`s purpose it to scare and panic you and, while in that state, to make you do something you will later regret. For example, buy a fake anti-malware tool or accidentally get yourself one more malware. All these messages are fake and cannot be trusted. They will say whatever is necessary to scare you. For instance, this particular message claims you are being tracked and you are no longer safe while surfing the Web. “Your browser, search history, any habits may be tracked in order to build a profile of you.” Don’t believe it even for a second. It`s a scare tactic and if you fall victim to it you will only worsen your current situation. Remove the PUP while you still have time and don’t let it wreck your PC. Don’t forget that PUPs also put your privacy at risk. They are created in a way to monitor you, gather valuable information and send it to the crooks behind it.
