Clampi virus is real?

My computer froze and a window with a warning jumped on a security breach with an error code and a phone number to call. I called the number and was put in touch with My Tech Bay. They said that I had the Clampi virus and showed me that it was in my system. They consulted my computer remotely and fixed everything. I bought one year of support that they said was an Apple extended warranty. Now I wonder if it is all legitimate. My computer is locked and now it works fine, BUT...

Sorry, but you've been scammed.

Contact your bank to determine measures to deal with the fraud.

Restore your computer to a backup prior to the intrusion by the criminals.

Change all passwords for accounts that may have been accessed from that computer.

    It also suggests that you can not run a software antivirus... If this is something you need to heal very quickly.  However, installing an antivirus application - if your PC is already infected - is usually ineffective.

    I suggest you do the following-
    (1) download and run a full scan using the Scanner for Ms.  Available here: http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx
    It does not install, is therefore more difficult for malware to block.
    (2) if that was clean, then get an anti-virus in real-time as soon as POSSIBLE.  There are many good choices (Norton, McAfee, etc.) which costs money, and several good without applications, including MS Security Essentials available here: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/products/security-essentials
    Note!  If you have another antivirus installed, do not add MSE.  Run two at once is precarious - they will conflict with each other.
    Also, make sure that your windows firewall is turned on, or you have another 3rd party firewall installed.
  • OfficeJet pro 8600 + scan if there is no configuration for the network folder

    The printer is wireless to my router and I connect to a computer connected to the router with an ethernet cable.  The computer is running Windows 7SP1 Home Premium 64.

    During the original installation of the printer 3 days ago, I used the wizard set up 'scan to a network folder' a record 'scans public '.  He created the 'profile' correctly and worked well the first time I scanned (I scanned the 3 or 4 times with different tweaks to experiment).  However the next day it no longer worked error on the printer was, 'could not connect to \\Computername\Public scan. Check that the remote computer is on. "Obviously, the computer was on, some communication problems only happened from one day to the next day, he was sitting unattended.  Hmmmmm.  Note that the option "Scan to Computer" works very well, so communication is simply no "scan to network folder" option and I really want to scan to a network folder.

    I went in a private "Scans" folder on my account and created a share as 'DadsScans', creating permissions and following all the tips I've come across so far.  Then I tried many times with the wizard to create a new configuration in the profile and all have failed and yes I found the network and turned on file sharing.  Also remember that it worked fine the first night?

    I tried to enter the local path to the folder (C:\users\dad\My analysis) with a share name (DadsScans), but the error message after choosing the option "test and save" was, "error.  Your printer cannot connect to the server.  Press 'Back' to correct the address and the name of the server.  Setting is not saved. »

    I then tried to enter the share name directly in the path of the network folder, like "\\computername\DadsScans", but the error was "error.  Your printer cannot connect to the server.  Press 'Back' to correct the address and the name of the server.  Make sure that network discovery and file sharing are turned on... "Note, I also tried,"\\computer Address\DadsScans IP"and got the same error.

    Finally, I disabled my firewall and my anti-virus in real time and tried again and got the same error messages.

    Once again, my network discovery and file sharing are on and it worked fine the first time I've used suggesting that everything was fine.  What happened during the night, so that the printer and computer sitting idle?  I've changed NOTHING!  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

    Well well, after several hours of attempts to solve the problem, the 'light bulb went on!  The night after that I configured the "scan to network folder" option, we had some difficulties with our network so I reset our modem and DSL router.  Who cleaned the problems of network with devices.  It is apparently broke something with the communications between the scanner and the computer.  A simple re-start the computer tonight and wa - la, the original public scan I configure worked again and I could create new profiles of "scanning to '!

  • Configuration of DCOM returns on its own

    We have a small LAN with a domain name, (a forest) and Windows 2008 R2 domain controllers.  3 controllers about 100 workstations Windows 7 and Windows 2008 R2 domain.  The domain functional level is Windows Server 2008 R2.  We have some Group Policy objects, but I do not think that one of the GPO contains settings that apply to the configuration of DCOM on workstations.  The workstations with which we conduct the issue are 64-bit Windows 7 Pro.  We have some Windows 7 x 86 machines, but this problem only affects the x 64 computers.  The specific parameter setting, with that I'll have the issue is - in DCOMCNFG. EXE, expand Component Services, computers, my computer... Right click on desktop and select Properties, then go to the default properties page.  The parameters that we use are: Activate Distributed COM on this computer box is enabled. COM Internet Services activated on this computer is not checked.  The default authentication level: this is the setting that changes itself.  We need to be on to connect.  It keeps however, back to 'None '.  More strange, is that this problem does not affect all computers, but it is not limited to a single computer.  There are several computers that do.  We analyzed for malware and found no; We are behind a hardware firewall that is robust and we run anti-virus in real time and updates throughout the day every day.  So I don't think that it is malware.  Is there a GPO setting that could be the cause?

    More notes: there is a setting under DCOM Config, with ID {DF4FCC34-067A-4E0A-8352-4A1A5095346E}, with a local path 'C:\Program may Explorer\iexplore.exe.  If we define 'Connect' authentication on this DCOM application, it should solve our problems (i.e. to ensure that our work programs) without having to go into the desktop - properties, set the default authentication level to connect.  And it DOES not solve our problems on 32-bit computers, but is not on 64-bit computers!  I think it's because 64 bit computers use the 32-bit version of Internet Explorer, and the path is C:\Program Files (x 86) \Internet.exe, but the {DF4FCC34-067A-4E0A-8352-4A1A5095346E} the path of the DCOM object is the same is it's on 32-bit computers, without the (x 86), so the DCOM configuration does not have effect on 64-bit computers.

    If anyone can help me understand how to 'Connect' DCOM setting take effect on Internet Explorer on 64-bit computers, without having to put the computer to my level, OR, help me find a way to keep the default authentication 'connect' setting to 'My Computer' in DCOM level, to change himself back to "None", what he made of himself... I'll be a very grateful person.

    Thank you very much, in advance!

  • Update failed Lightroom?

    Hello

    If you have McAfee and Windows, you must do the following to get the patch to work properly.

    1. disable McAfee Firewall (or any other antivirus you have) and Scan of viruses in real time.

    2. go to the Task Manager and make sure that you stop everything works for Adobe. This includes Adobe Creative Cloud, synchronization of the base Office Adobe or a Service for Adobe Desktop Creative Cloud, broker IPC, everything. You can right click on anything on this list and either end process or end task.

    3. Once this is done, run the executable of Adobe Creative cloud as an administrator (right click on the file, select run as administrator)

    4. it fires all the apps that you just closed, but now they are not affected by McAfee.

    5 put to day what it takes.

    6. replace your firewall and Virus scan programs.

    If this does not at first, reboot the machine you and then try the same steps.

  • When you use Firefox, a site jumped upward and said it is Firefox search virus. He said then I got dangerous viruses and need to download a security program. It's for real? The site is update32.escmce.ce.ms

    When you use Firefox, a site jumped upward and said it is Firefox search virus. He said then I got dangerous viruses and need to download a security program. It's for real? The site has been update32.escmce.ce.ms I googled this site and it does not exist. Now, I'm worried about security on my computer.

    Sounds very similar to what I had come last week. I did not now what the site was, but I noticed that the box seems to be analysis what were the Windows system files, it could not have been real. I do not download anything either, and I think that if you have not then you are probably safe. I am far from being an expert in the field and am sure that someone with more expertise will also. I learned that the best thing to do is vacuum history of cache, cookies and remove and close the browser. Don't try not even close the box that I have read. I don't know if I did or not. I think that there is some nasty things circulating right now try to deceive us in their installation on our Macs. I agree that it's a very scary experience. I was shaking when it first happened to me.

  • Is - this apple virus real attention and official?

    Hello

    In the past, I used to get these warnings of viruses, but I would ignore them since they looked much more informal, and since I had heard the warnings that require you to install MacKeeper are scam. However, this one popped up today and I was worried because it looks like the official site Apple and says that my system is seriously damaged. This warning is real and should install the MacKeeper or any other program for my Mac virus?

    Fake.

    Do not install MacKeeper, it's a scam. They tell you there are viruses so you will have to pay for the program. Then the program says that it removed the virus (that were never there) in order to feel safe.

    Close this window and avoid any website or you will get this message again. The scam is probably related to the Web site

  • real virus or not?

    So I tried to watch a series of TV drama online for free and I clicked on this site and as soon as I clicked it, it came with a system error message saying safari caught a * viruses and I need to call 1800 018 586. It also says that I should not ignore this problem since it can steal my personal information.

    Since this is the first time for me to use a mac pc, I'm really scares me and called the number.

    It was directed to a lady who helped me to close safari (I didn't know how to do) and she realizes the call to this other guy who told me that I needed to activate the firewall because it was disabled (again once I had no idea what so ever about this) and he then said that the problem is not fixed, and asked me to pay for fixing credit card number and all.

    Since I'm only 18 years old and are not own credit card, I said that I don't really have a way to pay for it.

    Then he got really fierce and began to tell me all the things hacker can do and which do not. I got bit scared of this guy so I hung up and started looking for what to do when I get error messages on mac system. As I was reading tips of Web sites, I realized that the error system not all messages are actually mac (as it can come from a hacker).

    So I would really like to know if this sort of thing is actually real or not, and it would help a lot if someone could help me!

    Should not have called this number and enabled a person to access your Mac.

    Use Malwarebytes Anti-Malware: http://www.adwaremedic.com/index.php

    You can also remove the adware manually by following the steps provided by Apple: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203987

    After that, make sure that your default search provider is set to the one you always use. To do this, open Safari - Preferences - research.

    Go to the Safari menu (at the top right of your screen next to the Apple icon), choose 'Quit Safari'

    Press the "Shift" key and while holding this button on your unique keyboard, click the icon of Safari on your Dock.

    Open Safari - Preferences - Privacy - data to remove any Web site.

    I also believe that it would be a good idea to install AdBlock and contact the Apple Support for assistance.

    If it's a failure of defective material, sometimes, you will get the BIOS beeps that can give clues to what's wrong - http://www.pchell.com/hardware/beepcodes.shtml

    There are testers of memory around like - http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Diagnosing-memory-problems-on-your-computer or see http://pcsupport.about.com/od/toolsofthetrade/tp/memorytest.htm
