  Original title: WINDOWS CURE SCAM.

  I received several calls from fake Windows Cure then when I let them think I'm addicted I give them a very high-pitched extended with a panic alarm and which should give them a headache or earache.

  Hello Sam Kig,.

  It's certainly plausible. Forums of people who fell there are enough requests FRO help on this and other, pray for these scammers. Everything we offer in fact is that they re-install windows, change passwords and notify their bank that they have been scammed!

  In a situation like this, where you do not trust the person who did this, and you don't know don't know exactly what he was doing, I recommend that you start over from scratch. Follow these steps:

  1 back up your data on an external drive

  2 reinstall Wineows Visa itself (which will begin formatting the drive for you and wipe everything on it).

  3 charge your backup data.

  4 reinstall all your programs from their original.

• OEM fake Windows copies?

  I get a pop-up on my portable Satellite saying my Windows XP is a copy of the false, but it is installed on the computer that I bought new from PCWorld 5 years. The certificate of authenticity is at the rear of the machine. I tried different sites of help for help and vain. Can anyone tell a learner pc how to solve the problem please?

  Hello

  Just, without panic. When you describe a problem it is always good if you mention what model phone you have and which OS is preinstalled. Is the operating system of your own installation or a recovery image delivered.

  It is interesting to know that if you have installed SP2 and this message appears for a short time after installing some Windows updates (automatic).

  Please be so kind and write a little more about your problem. Just two sentence description of the problem is funny to me, and please don t expect a solution step by step. I like to write answers and try to help, but certainly lack of comments like yours.

  Maybe I'll watch this thread later, after the description of the problem correctly.

  Good bye

• How to get rid of the fake windows security alert virus

  There was a virus on my laptop in the last two months. on the bottom taskbar, there's a red 'x' icon shield and whenever I try to go it takes me to the esentials Security page and he said: "the Security Center service is disabled" and it lights whenever I try to turn it on. also it doesn't let me access the internet or try to restore the laptop. I tried all solvents of spyware as spyware doctor and malware bytes, but it seems that I still have not had the problem again. help because this situation is greatly appreciated. Thank you

  Hello

  One way to solve the problem would be to backup your important data (redundancy) and then re - install
  Windows after formatting the drive. Check with the manufacturer of your system's support to see what you need to do
  that (and you probably already have what is necessary). You can buy the installation discs for Windows in the system
  machine cheaply if necessary since you already own windows.

  =====================================

  Another method would be to ensure that the malware is detected and deleted with internet access being
  restored.

  Try typing several times F8 as you start and select a Safe Mode with networking. If that works to proceed to the
  methods below. (You can try wired access and wireless if you have both available). If this does not work
  then use another computer to download the drivers and the necessary programs and transfer them to your machine
  on removable media.

  It can be made repeatedly in Mode safe - F8 tap that you start, however you must also run them
  the Windows when you can.

  each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver, description,.

  For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
  Control Panel - Device Manager - Display Adapter - note the brand and complete model of your
  video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now click on UPdate Driver (this
  cannot do anything as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then do a right click - Uninstall - REBOOT
  This will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party with their
  own the software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

  Now go to the site of the manufacturer of system (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (restoration) and then of the manufacturer of the device
  (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for the BIOS, Chipset and software)
  updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after each installation.

  Always check in the Device Manager - tab drivers version you install actually shows up. This
  because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (particularly that audio drivers) so install a
  pilot - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat if necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW on device at the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER - manually check by model.

• Fake windows popup Windows Security on my computer

  I'm not much of a computer person, so I really have no idea what to do to solve this problem. I usually keep my computer until I fall asleep, and when I turned it on this morning I started having all these alerts on how cases are "infected" and how my computer is under attack. He said that I had to "activate" windows security which sounded pretty fishy to me. Every few seconds a new alert will be pop up indicating that a new file is corrupt and every few minutes another pop up will appear saying that my computer is under attack. My Internet Explorer claims that I can't go to any site because "there is a threat," even though I know that sites like Google and Yahoo are difficult threats. I ran a full scan of the system on Norton and it said that there are no threats, but I'm sure there must be some kind of virus or malware on my computer to be the cause of all these fraud alerts enable a security system non-existent windows. Is there a way I can get rid of this? Thanks for your help.

  Updated Norton and run the full scan of the system with norton and see if it detects anything else.

• How can I recover windows files on the start menu as "Accessories" after the fake recovery tool?

  My pc has been infected recently with the fake windows recovery tool. I don't know how to recover the files/folders in the start menu and the desktop that were there before.

  It seems to remove the shortcuts in the start program, so a show systemic does not help.  Or it does solve the problem of the "NoDesktop" under political Explorer setting, which prevents the user access to the desktop (see  ( http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc938265.aspx).  I had to deal with a computer with these questions last week. I'm not sure it's the same virus (it was a fakesysdef one), but some things can not easily be corrected.  My experience was that I had to set up the shortcuts to start again, as they were not hidden, but they seem to just disappeared.

• My 3 windows machines all have product installed from their own records, HOW fake ID?

  I had huge problems the ast two years with system hostage. Nobody believed me if Microsoft has identified a problem, well, left me stuck! I hae a seven 32-bit bought vista Toshiba laptop 07, desktop Dell purchased Aug/sept 09 and a seven of Home premium purchased Acer Windows 7 64-bit 10. I keep get unidentified network. losing connectivity and last stop on the my network card Dell had an extra tab with among others a dialogue box that says allow non authenticated networks, if I have not activated this box I lose network connectivity. There is a lot more history on this but as it's a forum 7. I will deal with the ACER that has home premium 7 64-bit. My Acer has been the same losing regularly access and features, then 8 weeks ago it lost its image and was referred to Acer warranty. They returned with a new hard drive. I just had to finish setting up installation it is reactivated. Then windows update does not work, I asked Microsoft to their application process for assistance. I got an e-mail from a technician of Microsoft in the United States, after several attempts to correct without success, she asked me to run a SFC scan and him send the CBS. I duly did and she answered saying contact support for windows 7 from microsoft in the United Kingdom. I did later, after going round in circles whenever I got at the reception, that they wanted to put me through to security to check the virus, I kept telling them that I do not have a virus. My machines are diverted using legitimate microsoft tools, I case can't know how but I know they are. Anyway, eventually I talked to an 'expert' 7, he looked at the newspaper cbs and who told me that I was not running genuine windows software, HOW THE * if the it came from the factory with a new hard drive. The SFC scan will only complete 99%. He told me to use my disks supplied with the machine and reinstall. I had not all disks (Acer provide as a matter of course). So I duly sent to the disk and he told me that if I wanted that it would contribute to format my machine and install correctly. On the property page for my computer, I couldn't see the product ID, which showed was the OEM product ID and ease of sytem info did not, however I have AVG tune up on my machine and it has a similar feature and he was able to show me not only OEM but as well the windows product ID. The product ID was not on my machine, I hought Hall * lujah to the last number. I went on my dell don't have reinstall a suit of the disc and checked the ID of the product (using AVG tune up) and it wa wrong too! I did the same with my Toshiba exactly the same thing. HOW CAN I DO a REINSTALL FULL ON different mac, hines and they reinstall a fake Windows ID and I used records of origin provided by the manufacturers themselves. In any case to the ACER a few weeks back I got ACER discs I paid £51 for and did a fresh install, why I did it's simple, I contacted Saurabh on 7 press repeatedly telling him I had the drive, but he ignored me. When I did the new OEM installation was the 'bad' OEM again, and he does not feel again. A few days later, I ran SFC again and he found files corrupted, but said it had repaired them. I have e mailes Slim with my cbs log and emphasizing the wrong OEM and yold he me my system was running fine! ?? I have sent e several times since. Now that he told me was put microsoft esentials on my machine it is the best well produced I am sorry to say that it has failed and WF kept getting amended to allow remote-access areas and various programs through the firewall, I did it! I'm on my second reinstall Acer and I put AVG back tune and guess what I've got illegal product ID I ran SFC and he returned with corruption cases and others that he couldn't fix it. I have e mailes Saurabh last night, but no answer yet! I have no 2005 c ++ installed even if it was and if I remember what AVG told me that my computer is at risk without it (I have 2008 c ++ installed). If you allow me, I know it's vista but I would like to come back to the Dell because I came across something interesting last night. When I bought the dell I had taken his retirement through ill health and he is / was a great machine costs about £1, 2 k, but missed me 1 day, I had dell come and install it and there was a lack of driver form the diskette, the technician that installed in my house was able to download , within two weeks, I had him bak, because I knew that something was wrong, I thought that even in this case, my system has been hijacked, two weeks later I had him back and had the card because I had seen a lot of activity during the night system event where my machine was not on wireless. I had numerous phone calls with the Dell support staff, they even managed to erase the image on the Dell! I'm sure that on the notes for my account, I have a black spot. Anyway yesterday I started another reinstall progrem first of the drive on the Dell, and the DELL that contains drivers and resources Dell Software Center. Before going any further, I have instructed Security Task Manager, and he scored the Dell "failed" CD and a high risk rating. When I watched the news of rating provides this security task manager it said that wa the bad drive for my system disk is how I read it in any case. I say two years my machines were diverted by the network and I share all my machines they re all together to the public profile or the boot. I am more convinced that never boots on my macine are corrupt, otherwise how can I load o/s that are correct from disks/factory settings? Provided by Acer Windows 7 discs direct home I paid just for them, unyet when I do a full erase of the data and reinstall I'm reinstallinga corrupted windows product ID HOW? I know what is happening, it helps a person remotley to access my machines, then they install legitimate windows of tools to support. After all if the used softwatre is a legitimate windows software, windows is not going to pick this up, is it? I need help please, the technician windows 7 gave me. Reference Dell thinks I'm nuts, BT my ISP think I am wrong because I keep saying my netwrok is hijacked. I now eveidence, I thought would solve my problem. I thought that Microsoft would want to fnd a solution to a (?) method may be very unusual to hack, new but they do not want to know. And could I close by saying how worried I'm over here, who has hijacked my system did not do anything of my Bank, there has been no identity fraud so it makes no sense? Unless of course, it's csomething like a fraud or pedophile ring using my machines to process jobs anonymously. I thought to go to the Police, but that I do that I tell my machines are diverted, but none of the providers think so? My first proper job in 1974 was like acomputer operator on a mainframe gianICL, I got a PC since 1981 when I had an amstrad 500, I project managed workflow DIP in the middle of the 1990s and on the internet at home for 97 but I'm not a geek, but I know I'm right, but for the moment all the manufacturers including Microsoft and want to know. I can't take any of my machines all have Group Policy Client running on them. Someone help please I need someone who can reinstall help me stop the remote access and in the case of ACER how to change the activation key, there is no installation on the property page, but it is on the Toshiba and Dell apologies for typos it took awhile to type and try to make it readable thanks Alan

• Fake copy of Windows has appeared on my PC

  A fake Windows 7 Ultimate appeared on my computer in the last 3 weeks.  My screen is black and in the bottom right of my office are the words "Windows 7 7600 Build.  This copy of Windows is not genuine ".  (My geniune operating system is Windows 7).  I'm curious to see if there is anything I can do to get rid of myself.  In addition, in case it is important, I don't have an original windows CD to reinstall.  If it is something that is necessary,... is my second question there a way to recover my product via my computer key or by contacting Windows (if I have my computer s/n)?  Thanks for any help you are able to give.

  Your installation is a counterfeit.

  You have the infamous Lenovo stolen key installed on a HP with a Dell SLIC table shwoing machine into BIOS >-that just may not happen unless a hacker Activation exploit installed bypass activation and vlaidationrequirements.

  The hack was discovered, and that's why you got the non-genuine opinion.

  You must reformat/reinstall after saving your data on external media, using the manufacturer's recovery media.
