About this infection

Toroadvertisingmedia.com pop-ups are tech-support scams that try to convince you that there is something seriously wrong with your computer. The ads are likely caused by an adware infection, and you can tell by the amount of times the pop-up appears.

If it’s a one time thing, there nothing to worry about, you were likely just redirected from a questionable website. If you are constantly seeing them, it’s likely adware. You could have picked up the infection when you were installing freeware, and it could have been attached in a way so that you do not notice. Once the adware is installed, it will start generating these intrusive adverts, and disrupting your browsing. It will claim that there is something seriously wrong with your computer, and that you need to call the provided number to fix the issues. It’s obviously a scam, so no need to call anyone.
