  ParetoLogic announces that it is a Microsoft partner.  Isn't this true?  If this is not true, all the rest is a lie or a scam?  As it is also a partner of Norton?

• IS IT Live Limited Tech support Microsoft partner?

  A person of this company had access to the computer of my mother, claiming that they were a Microsoft partner to help him. I want to know if they are legit. I think it was a scam and I concerned what information they may have captured from his computer.

  Hello

  Could not find anything to their topic. If they called him is certainly a SCAM even though
  It could be the scam is still that she found through other means. They have a phone
  number, so you can contact them? But even if there is a number which has not
  assure that it is a legitimate business.

• Received a call of 'Microsoft Partner' £100 to fix the virus csrss.exe eager...

  I received a call from Aishaz Tech informing me, I got the "csrss.exe"virus and that they could solve the problem for me for £100, which is the cost of the "Microsoft Tools" necessary to solve the problem.  They said that I not able to repair myself, nor anyone else would have had none of these tools and they are a Microsoft partner.  I run MS Windows 7 Home Preimium.  I didn't even notice that I had a problem.  There is only one version of crss.exe in the running task manager (although I can't open the file location) and I have had no other problems such as unexpected POPs Windows that other people with this virus are complaining about.

  How can I know that this is not just a scam to get 100 pounds of me?
  How can I know that I even the virus?
  How do they know I have the virus and where they got my phone number from?
  Is it also true that not even reformat the HARD drive and reinstall all the software from scratch can solve the problem?

  They asked me to use "Teamviewer" free software to enable them to take on my screen, showing me the 'evidence' that I got the virus csrss.exe by:
  (1) running msconfig and showing me that much Microsoft services in the Service tab have the status 'arrested '.  They said all Microsoft services in the Service tab are essential and must always be running - is this true?
  (2) they ran regedit and viewd under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE SAFETY record, for which the data column says (value not set) and told me that it meant my anti-virus did not work (I use AVG Free, who says he runs and certainly seems to be analyzes all incoming e-mails).  Nobody knows what the data column should be in it?
  (3) they then looked at what is called prefetch, showed me loads of entries with numbers and no names of recognizable program or file which said, contained the virus.
  4 BACK), they ran a tree, sending loads of country names and other information too fast to read the screen, followed a sentence saying your antivirus software is out of date or does not work and an urgent need to be updated.  But I keep my AVG anti-virus updated software automatically.
  I don't know what to do and I am really worried about what they could do with my computer while they were back online.  Someone at - it good suggestions please?

  I don't know if Microsoft would take interest because they have themselves identified (many claim come / working on behalf of Microsoft/Windows).

  Your main course would be your local trading standards office find a letter enough to follow through is going to be extremely lucky.

  The Police has a role through the Central cybercrime Police Unit (info here, puts it's national) Although the report must be done locally and the same COMPUTER literacy issue may arise as to Trading Standards. Perhaps mention the group could wake up a local Plod that they should actually do something, but that you have not paid what was then a crime took place?

  PS as you have no evidence as such a problem of recovery is far away still.

  QUOTE:

  "Probably too late to help the OP, but for others: SpeedyPC Pro is a scam." It is also directly linked to their company of processing payments, "Safecart. Or what makes a mess to try to get a refund... based in the United States or repairs. It appears if you try unconsciously to e-mail an extremely large file or a search using terms such as "Slow PC", "lazy", "email does not load" etc etc. Lesson 1-NEVER buy software that appears magically when you encounter problems. Once it is downloaded, paid for (usually Paypal-to-Safecart), you are prompted to "activate" - requiring remote access to your PC. Lesson 2 - all unknown, no software support of brand person should NEVER be allowed to remotely... even large companies should be permitted only access controlled, usually stated in the user agreement (which is vital, reading for all software ' demanding' external/remote access. If the folders or files are missing, renamed, moved, etc. and you contact support, you will be asked again for remote access. It cannot. They will declare that only another support level is paid a pension (usually $ 300 or more, with the price down if waver you). Lesson 3 - garbage paid a pension. Then, when it's obvious that you're in trouble, you will want to remove - they help you with if you allow them ACCESS remotely!... Again, you MUST refuse. You can ask for instructions by email, that they will promise to send - and never go there. You can ask to speak to a supervisor and is put on hold - forever. You can remove the software - but it will leave little visible and several hidden files and folders you can not see, even if you check the box "Show hidden folders and files". You can do a restore of the system - same problem, all is not lost. In a recent situation, after several requests for the removal by e-mail instructions and insurance that they cannot yet a system once the software is "deleted", noted an activity external access. The computer was immediately put off. Lesson 4 - you can't fix it yourself. Bottom line - removal of this * requires a travel expert tech shop, where the hard disk will be deleted, * hopefully * critical files saved, the drive to clean up and the system rebooted from scratch. Not a cheap solution and the purchase price of $30 begin to cover the costs. Also, there is no way to go after them so many layers are involved. If you have never heard of him, cannot find any reviews by major players (Cnet and others) avoid like the plague. And if it's too late, have not only your deleted PC but again set all passwords (user names reset is also a good idea) and re - set the safety of your home or business network. (FWIW, the first site review said "SpeedyPC Pro Exposed?" - and is "comparepcsoftware.com, coincidentally belonged to the same company as SpeedyPC Pro. This should give you a clear indication of how they work). There are a lot of quality, software of band name out there. And small outfits produce some great stuff - but they walked through the usual channels and if goodwill really have comments by well-known experts. SpeedyPC Pro is a very inexpensive way to find out how the software does not work and HOW the data recovery. Here's a site rating simple and clear.

• Call gooseberry, saying they are a Microsoft partner

  Original title: Gooseberry?  SF TV #.

  I received a phone call from a company called gooseberry to mackerel.  They said that they are a Microsoft partner and they have received a message saying that I have a problem.  Are they legitimate? They have a phone number for San Francisco.

  Hello

  It's a scam.

  We have all the errors and warnings in our Event Viewer

  But NO error message is sent from your computer to anyone.

  Either these so-called "Microsoft" Tech companies want to sell you a worthless software, or remote access to your computer to try to steal your credit card and bank information and also achieve an identity theft on you.

  You are the only person who knows if you gave them remote access.

  If you gave them remote access and you do Internet banking, contact your bank, to explain, and change passwords.

  If you use your online credit card, cancel and get a new one issued to you.

  And the only way that willl you know that you are free to them is to backup your data and do a clean install of your operating system.

  And Microsoft does not contact you unless YOU have made prior arrangements with them to do.

  Cindy,

  I believe you can reinstall right under the trial, use preferably the full path in three steps (the otherwise strange things may persist):

  (1) uninstall (check the box to delete the preferences),

  (2) run the cleanup tool, see the link below,

  (3) reinstall.

  The cleaning tool works for all versions of CS3 on (you can see the top of the page).

  Here are the instructions for use, including individual applications:
