About these scam pop-ups

Microsoft Font Pack Was Not Found Scam pop-ups are bogus alerts claiming that a Microsoft font pack needs to be installed in order to correctly display a website. Users usually browser the Internet as normal and then suddenly get redirected to a weird website with symbols in it. A window then pops up saying a new font is needed. If users press ‘OK’, they could be installing something malicious onto their computer. This is a completely bogus alert, the site is deliberately displaying the weird symbols so that you would install the ‘font’, which would likely be malware. Microsoft Font Pack Was Not Found Scam

Those redirects usually happen when users have some kind of adware installed. Adware is a rather minor infection itself, but it can bring about indirect damage by displaying you tech-support or these kinds of scams. You could have picked up the adware when installing some kind of free program. It was attached in a way that allows it to install alongside, and you did not notice. Because you did not see it, you were unable to deselect it, thus it was allowed to install. And now you need to delete Microsoft Font Pack Was Not Found Scam adware.

Why are you redirected to the website?

The redirects are probably caused by an adware infection, which you probably picked up when you were installing some free program. It could have been attached in a way that allows it to install alongside the program. To prevent its installation, you would need to deselect it. To do this, pay attention to how you are installing programs, and pick Advanced or Custom settings. Those settings will make added offers visible, and you will be able to deselect them. Default settings will not allow you to do this, they won’t even show the offers. And you choosing Default settings was probably the reason why you even have the adware in the first place. It’s much easier to just uncheck a few boxes than it would be to later get rid of the infection.

Do you really need the font pack?

The answer to that would be no, you don’t need it, seeing as the whole thing is a trick to make you install some kind of malware. Malware distributors come up with all kinds of methods in order to spread their malicious programs and make money, so you need to be very careful. They could claim that your computer is infected with something and that you urgently need to call ‘tech-support’, or in this case, they would display a broken website and ask you to download a font to display it correctly. If you fall for this and press ‘OK’ or ‘Download’, you’d end up downloading malware.

The whole thing may be done in a very convincing way. You could be browsing as usual, press on something and suddenly end up on site with symbols being displayed instead of the actual site. A window then appears, and it looks like a real Windows window. Looks pretty legitimate, and less-experienced computer users could easily fall for this. However, a simple search using a reliable search engine would help find out if it’s real or not. We don’t recommend installing anything this way. First, look into what you would be installing, and do it from a reliable source, not some random pop-up window.
