Everyone knows PCTECHRESOLVE?

I have contacted and told that my Windows application was a problem. The person asked me type EVENTVWR in the Run dialog box and then he said the list of yellow and red marks against it were a virus. He then tells me to connect towww.pctechresolve.com and enter a 6-digit code. At this point, I'm getting suspicious and asked if they were part of Microsoft and they said no, so I hung up.

Has anyone else been contacted by them? Does that mean I have a virus? I have Norton on my computer and a complete analysis of the system did not show anything?

Thank you

Paul

It is a scam.

Event Viewer always records errors which, in most cases, are quite normal.  Some less-than-ethical to use it as leverage to make money at your expense.

See the article at the top of this forum:

"I received a phone call from someone who said that my computer has been infected by a virus.
