Hello. I need your support to get rid of Intelli-support-assistant.com alerts. I believe that the malware came along with Pluto Streaming TV because I started to get pop ups and error messages after I installed it. Now, my Mozilla Firefox is filled with Intelli-support-assistant.com alerts. It says, “WARNING! Potential Threat Detected!” Suspicious activities of intrusions have detected by it. Does that mean my computer has been hacked? I have been told to call 18-0023-4227 and get help from certified network support engineers, so I did. The engineer said I must pay $199 to fix my computer. It was a huge amount of money for me. Do you know how to deal with it? Is there a cheaper way to get rid of those annoying alerts and fix the problems? Any suggestion would be appreciated.
