“Google Chrome Warning Alert” is a fake error message displayed by a malicious website that users often visit inadvertently – they are redirected by various potentially unwanted programs (PUPs) that infiltrate systems without consent.
Why is Chrome telling me I have a virus?
The Google Chrome pop-up virus is a common and frustrating malware on Android phones. The most common cause for this virus is downloading apps from third-party or unknown sources which contain the malware. The most important thing is to NOT tap anywhere on the pop-up!
Is there such thing as a fake virus warning?
You may receive a fake virus alert claiming that your device has been infected and you need to install antivirus software. However, if you pay for the alleged antivirus, your credit card details will be intercepted and you obviously won’t get the promised protection.
