Windows Interactive Safety
Greetings! Unfortunately, if you’ve made your way to this page, you’ve probably been infected with Windows Interactive Safety. Infections of this kind aren’t particularly harmful to your computer. Most often, they just make it much more difficult to use, as I’m sure you’ve realized once confronted with the infection. The purpose of the infection is to trick you, the user, into paying to remove the infection. It accomplishes this through scare tactics, by telling you that your computer is infected, that the only way to remove said infections is to pay for that software, and by making it difficult to use any antivirus that you have installed on your computer. The infection may also hijack your browser’s search settings, making even basic internet usage quite difficult.
