Although 'Your Hard drive will be DELETED' Pop-Up imitates a Windows error, it is a fake pop-up warning shown to users in order to trick them into thinking that there is a malicious application active inside their systems. It also tells users that they can get the help they need by calling a toll-free telephone number: 1-855-999-9246. To be frank, we cannot guarantee that you will not get a huge bill after dialing this number, but it is not the only reason we do not recommend making a call. First of all, since 'Your Hard drive will be DELETED' Pop-Up is itself a scam, you might contact bad people if you dial this telephone number. According to specialists working at 411-spyware.com, those people might try to sell users services and software they do not need. Additionally, they might ask users to provide personal details like name, surname, address, etc. and then sell them or use them for fraudulent purposes. Last but not least, users might even experience the loss of important data if they allow “technicians” to remotely connect to their PCs in order to fix PC issues.

Just like a bunch of other untrustworthy programs, adware is usually distributed in software bundles. In most cases, it travels together with third-party applications, and these bundles are promoted on various file-sharing and other untrustworthy third-party pages.
