Summary

Description
English: A representation of what a technical support scam looks like. This is not an actual popup but merely created to demonstrate what one might look like. The description of the fake "errors" are deliberately unrealistic and reflect previous encounters with such popups. This does not have some features of real popups, including browser freezing etc.
