Pop-up warnings claiming the police are watching a user's computer are deceptive advertisements for software, not actual government surveillance.
Yeah, I get emails every day because the software sellers sell software and say, your computer is wide open. The police could look at it. Buy our software. That's the sales pop-up window. If you go to any of the major websites, Amazon, Drudge, anything, they have an advertiser that has a pop-up. That pops up and fills your screen with pop-ups, and it says the police are watching you. Your computer is wide open. Buy our software.
