About this infection
The most likely reason “Enter Facebook Password” Scam warnings are popping up is because of an adware infection. These false ads mostly want to deceive users into dialing supposed tech-support numbers where scammers would try to get remote access to a machine or sell useless utilities or services. If you’re dealing with advertising-supported applications , the warnings will be pretty intrusive. An ad-supported program is often attached to free programs, and if you do not deselect it, it will install together with the software. The alerts themselves will not harm your device, as long as you do not fall for the scam. The scammers on the other side of the phone would request remote access to your device, and then try to make you think that they have fixed the issue (which does not even exist in the first place), for which you would be charged. You should never call the numbers in these questionable warnings, and you should be careful about who you give remote access to your computer. And if you’re still worried about the advertisement you are getting, it’s false, and your operating system is secure. So as to make the ads no longer appear, all you need to do is remove “Enter Facebook Password” Scam.

What does it do
Since adware installation hardly occurs knowingly, it usually spreads via freeware. If some type of item spreads along with the free programs, you need to uncheck it, and Default mode will not allow you to do that. Instead, opt for Advanced or Custom settings. The extra items will be made visible, and all you have to do is unmark them. We advise that you always unmark everything because if you weren’t correctly informed about their installation, they do not belong on your PC. If you wish to avoid having to erase “Enter Facebook Password” Scam and similar constantly, be more attentive about how you install applications.
Whatever warning you are seeing on your screen, we can assure that it is trying to make you think that your operating system has ran into a problem and requires urgent attention. You’re probably seeing a supposed malware, licensing or system problems, because con artists are not very original when it comes to schemes, and they’re all essentially identical. It is also common for the alert to include warnings about data loss or leaks because this scares users into reacting. In order to prevent those data loss scenarios, the user is required to call con artists who are acting as tech-support. Keep in mind that no real software or security business will ever ask users to call them. For example, if Apple or Microsoft is asking you to call them, it’s most definitely a scam. The scammers will use terms less-computer savvy might not know in order to appear real, will explain that the problems need to be urgently repaired, and charge a couple of hundred dollars. Tech-support scams are very obvious but because less-computer knowledgeable people haven’t happened upon them before, they could fall for them. And it’s not difficult to see how some less computer savvy users may believe the claims, because even if they ignore the first alert, after they start popping up over and over again, they may think that it is a trustworthy warning. But a simple way to find out if it is a scam is to simply use a search engine to check it out. The first results will surely prove it’s a scam. So you could just safely ignore the pop-ups while you get rid of what’s causing them. If you constantly get these warnings, you just have to eliminate “Enter Facebook Password” Scam adware to make them stop.
