This company uses malware to advertise ways to remove malware. When you click on the link, it brings you to their website and forces more downloads. If you contact their support line they tell you that they can't help you unless you have a paid account. How is this company allowed to exist? I don't know how I got the malware, I'm usually pretty careful and it seems to be gone now after using a proper anti malware program that I trust.

Victim Location55606 Type of a scamTech Support
I was getting ad's telling me I have viruses on my computer, when I tried to download their program it said it wasn't working, I talked to their tech support who was persistent that I sign up and kept telling me to download and disable Windows security features to install their product. After contacting my computer manufactuer (System76), I found out from them that this was a scam, because my computer has Linux, not Windows like TotalAV was telling me, System76 insured me this was a scam because Linux can not get viruses so the TotalAV Ad was lying, my computer does not have viruses and the TotalAV ad was trying to scam me into buying their product by telling me I had viruses when it's not possible for my computer to get them.
TotalAV tech support quickly got off with me as soon as I addressed this about this which only further proves being caught red handed with their misleading fraud ads tricking the unsuspecting into buying their fake product.
