I got the same message today and did some searching. I found this: http://malwarefixes.com/remove-trj-dealware-stealth-has-been-injected-into-your-computer/.

It is a scam, and they basically want you to call the number so they can control your computer and scam you. Don't phone the number! (There are several different ones.)

Caught me a whopper. Not only cost $143.00 and new laptp setup

I also called the number to suss it out and hung up before I spoke to someone. Immediately after I hung up, my phone rang and a "Michael" was on the other end, stating I had called their technical help centre. He repeated my number back to me.

Not sure if I just opened myself up to a scam now. :(

Rang the number for a laugh, got through to a nice Indian fellow who was on the grift. Tried to instil a the fear of the nasty Internet boogeyman into me, I wasn't patient enough to see the call through to him asking for money/access however he feigned offense when asked how much money he would be needing.

I'm the second one in our office to pick this up in two days, seems to be linked to my browser however, any idea of how to remove this?

How can they control my computer?

I called, and then hung up before checking on this reverse number look up. Do you know if there's an issue if I've phoned, waited, but haven't spoken to anyone?
