It is actually a scam^[1] that is meant to scare computer users and force them to call fake tech support^[2] for help regarding the “detected issues.” The malware advises victim to reach out to “certified Microsoft technicians” for safe side instructions.

When the virus redirects the victim to a phishing website, an annoying pop-up immediately shows up. This pop-up says that user’s computer is “in blocked state” because of a “very critical infection.” The rest of the message urges the victim to call “Microsoft Super Technician” for safe side instructions, and without even naming the virus, it manages to frighten the user within a few seconds. In addition, the deceptive message says “do not press any key until you know safe side instructions.”

Scammers even state that “Microsoft Super Technicians” are level 9 technicians and they are the only ones that can save victim’s computer^[3], but at this point, the user has to stop and rely on common sense. If you are interested in safe side instructions from Microsoft, you should firstly familiarize with tech support scam types that use the good name of Microsoft to trick unsuspecting victims into providing sensitive information.
