Aplemix

Only, I was contacted by someone who led me to believe they called 'windows' and told me that my computer was full of "junk" and ready to explode!  He wanted me to download Alpemix to fix the problem... of course, I didn't and hung up... he called immediately... have you heard of this before?

Hello

It's a scam well known, used by many.

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

There is an article in the link I'm you provide at the end of this one

Read this Information from Microsoft:

"Avoid scams to phone for tech support.

http://www.Microsoft.com/security/online-privacy/avoid-phone-scams.aspx

Don't be fooled of unsolicited calls. Don't provide personal information.

Here are some of the organizations that cyber criminals claim to come:

  • Helpdesk Windows

  • Windows repair center

  • Microsoft technical support

  • Microsoft technical support

  • Windows Support Group Technical Department

  • Microsoft Research and Development Team (team of Microsoft R & D)

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.

We have all the errors and warnings in our Event Viewer

If you gave them remote access and you do Internet banking, contact your bank, 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.

See you soon.
