Answers
Answer:
If your web browser is constantly being redirected to sites that display a “Critical Error” notification, asking you to call a support number to fix it, then it is possible that you have adware program installed on your computer.
These “Critical Error” alerts are nothing more a scam. Microsoft does not send unsolicited email messages or make unsolicited phone calls to request personal or financial information or fix your computer. Treat all unsolicited phone calls or pop-ups with skepticism. Do not provide any personal information.
Critical Error Fake Alerts Scam
The bogus “Critical Error” alert is shown in such a way as to trick the user into thinking their computer has crashed or that a virus has been detected on the computer. It does this to try and scare the infected user into calling one of the listed numbers in order to receive support. In reality, though, they will only be greeted with people who are trying to sell them unneeded support contracts and services.
The “Critical Error” pop-up will have this message:
Critical Error! Your system has been blocked because suspicious activities has been detected from your IP address
Do not ignore this critical alert.

The scammer will typically attempt to get the victim to allow remote access to their computer. After remote access is gained, the scammer relies on confidence tricks typically involving utilities built into Windows and other software in order to gain the victim’s trust to pay for the supposed “support” services, when the scammer actually steals the victim’s credit card account information.
