About Contact-microsoft.com Ads

Contact-microsoft.com Ads are caused by an adware application on your computer. If you encounter this pop-up, then it’s possible that adware is on your computer. It works silently and can enter your computer without you realizing it. Contact-microsoft.com ads are a scam trying to fool people into calling a certain number. It’s not affiliated with Microsoft in any way so you should not pay any attention to these ads. Contact-microsoft.com Ads will not harm your computer, and if you do no call the number provided, these ads should not cause you any trouble. That does not mean you should not remove Contact-microsoft.com Ads from your computer as until you do, the ads will keep appearing.

Why should I delete Contact-microsoft.com Ads?

You could have gotten your computer infected with adware when you installed freeware. Not many users are aware of this but freeware usually has certain items attached to it. Like a browser hijacker, adware or a potentially unwanted program. Those added items install automatically along with the freeware if you use Default settings. This is why it’s important to know how to protect your computer from these unwanted installations. You can do that by opting for Advanced or Custom settings during freeware installation. You will be able to deselect all added items and they will not install.

Once this adware installs onto your computer, it will generate pop-up ads. The Contact-microsoft.com Ad tries to convince you that it’s the official webpage for Microsoft support webpage. It would not be surprising if users fell for this scam as the website is almost an exact replica of the legitimate webpage. There are two main differences between the fake and the real Microsoft webpages. The fake one will provide a Toll Free number (+44-800-090-3255) so that users can supposedly get support. You also cannot do anything on the fake website, you cannot choose any option or access anything as the whole website is just an image. There is no number given on the official website and obviously you can access all the sections. There is also a disclaimer at the bottom the fake page saying that they are not affiliated with Microsoft. If you were to call the support number, you would most likely be scammed into buying some sort of useless software for a ridiculous price. These ads will keep appearing until you uninstall Contact-microsoft.com Ads from your computer, which we suggest you do as soon as possible.
