Windows Security Alert is a fake pop-up set up by cybercriminals to mislead you into calling tech support. Windows Security Alert pop-up is most likely redirected by some deceptive advertising networks associated with adware programs.

Not only adware is responsible for the Windows Security Alert pop-up ads. On the Internet, ad networks can also redirect your browser to Windows Security Alert.
