Why would any tech sp tell somebody to interact with a scammer's onscreen dialog?

Let AdwCleaner quarantine the "fake malware" pop-ups.
ADW cleaner will do nothing here. The tech told them this because its not a malware dialog box. It is a browser notification coming from windows. While opening the link/notification can lead to an infected website, disabling the notifications will not. This is also why when the user ran malwarebytes it found nothing, because there is nothing to find.

The common advice is not to do so.

Again, how did she contact? That's the point I'm making.

Don't get me wrong. She probably panicked and called the bad guys. But maybe not.

I've called Dell's support line off & on for different things for years. I wouldn't call any other number. Capisce? 🤨
