Error MS-77X1 POP-UP Scam

What is "Error MS-77X1"?

"Error MS-77X1", also known as "Fehler # MS-77X1", is a technical support scam run on deceptive sites. The scheme claims that suspicious activity has been detected on the device and, due to this, it has been blocked. To resolve these nonexistent issues, users are urged to call a fake "Windows Support" helpline.
