Microsoft is warning about a fake installer for its Security Essentials, which attempts to trick users into contacting various bogus help centres.
The Tech support scammers’ have stepped up their technical game, they prompt a “severe” warning from Microsoft over a new Windows malware that mimics Microsoft’s free Security Essentials antivirus, which then displays a fake blue screen of death, or BSoD, with an error message and a suggestion you call a 1800 number that is not a real Microsoft support centre.
