What is "Error # 0x80092ee9"?
"Error # 0x80092ee9" is one of the many scam websites, this particular one claims that it has detected some spyware/riskware which caused the "0x80092ee9" error. In order to remove detected threats and fix the error, visitors are provoked to call the displayed number. Scammers behind this website present themselves as Microsoft Support. However, the actual company has nothing to do with this scam. We strongly recommend to ignore this page and more importantly, not to contact scammers.
When visited, this page shows a pop-up disguised as a "Windows Warning Alert". According to it, the website has detected malicious, pornographic spyware/riskware which damaged the system and caused an error. People are urged not to ignore this alert and call the "+1-855-541-4349" number. Additionally, this scam website causes downloads of random text files, at the time of the research it downloaded the "735918dd-c8a2-42c6-9a7f-b82c0c92e627.txt" file. We recommend to delete them. Moreover, it tries to crash the computer by forcing a browser to use 100% of the computer's CPU. Simply said, the main goal of this page is to prevent people from closing it and to trick them into contacting scammers who supposed to help with the occurred problems. Typically, when scammers who create such pages are contacted, they try to swindle people out of their money by encouraging them to pay money for their services or some software. That is the main reason why numbers that are displayed on pages of this type should not be called. If a browser opens such scam website, it should be ignored. If it is impossible to close it (it uses too much computer's resources), then we recommend to end the whole browser's process through Task Manager. Additionally, the same website will be opened if the closed browsing session will be restored the next time a browser is launched. For this reason it is not recommended to restore browsing sessions that were closed because of some untrustworthy, deceptive websites.
There are many cases where these pages are opened by installed PUAs (potentially unwanted applications). These apps usually deliver unwanted ads and gather data too. They serve intrusive ads such as pop-ups, coupons, banners, surveys, etc. It is impossible not to notice them, PUAs displayed them via tools that enable placement of third party graphical content. In other words, these ads conceal underlying contents of visited pages. When clicked, these ads often cause redirects to shady pages or execute scripts that download/install other PUAs. Furthermore, these apps usually are designed to gather data such as IP addresses, entered search queries, URLs of visited websites, geo-locations and so on. Their developers share recorded data with third parties (potentially, cyber criminals) who misuse it to generate revenue. People who have such apps installed risk to experience problems with privacy, browsing safety, computer infections or even identity theft.

"Your Windows Computer Could Be Infected With Viruses!", "Microsoft Detected Malicious Virus And Blocked Your Computer" and "Enter Windows Registration Key To Unblock" are just a few examples of other scam pages/scams that are quite similar to this one. Most of the times scammers use them to trick people into purchasing some software or services. If there are any PUAs that open websites of this type, they should be removed as soon as possible.
How did potentially unwanted applications install on my computer?
In some cases various unwanted apps can be downloaded from their websites. However, there are not many people who download and install them on purpose. As a rule, unwanted downloads and installations can be caused by clicking intrusive (deceptive) advertisements or when installing some software that has unwanted apps bundled into its setup. Simply said, bundling is a deceptive marketing method used to trick people into downloading, installing various PUAs together with other programs. It is being achieved by hiding information about these apps in setup's options such as "Advanced", "Custom" and other parts. It is quite common that people download/install various software without checking any of the mentioned settings and when they do so, they cause unwanted downloads/installations too.
How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?
It is not recommended to download software using torrent clients, eMule or any other Peer-to-Peer networks, third party downloaders, questionable/unofficial pages and so on. The only truly safe way to download it is to use official websites (and direct download links). Moreover, software should be downloaded or/and installed properly: all setup's options should be checked and offers to download or install unwanted apps dismissed. Intrusive ads are not reliable, they often cause redirects to potentially malicious pages (or cause unwanted downloads/installations). If a browser causes unwanted redirects or displays the aforementioned ads, then it is possible that it is caused by some unwanted application which is installed on a web browser or computer. Check the list of installed add-ons, extensions or plug-ins and remove all unwanted (or/and unknown) entries from your web browser as soon as possible. Same applies to suspicious programs that are installed on the operating system. If your computer is already infected with PUAs, we recommend running a scan with Spyhunter for Windows to automatically eliminate them.
