PUPs and Tech Support Scammers are turning to tech support scams to increase the amount of money they can take from their unsuspecting customers. Malwarebytes is working with the authorities to get them shut down. There is no security program that can protect you from being scammed, besides informing potential victims about the risks, but as a company that cares about its customers, we have always actively committed to this fight in the past and we will continue to do so in the future. We hope that the scammers business associates will no longer want to do work with them.”]
