• If someone calls and tells me to see computer management have I been hacked?

  I do not download anything either and I do not give any personal information.

  He asked me if I found warnings or errors, I said that I had.  He asked what numbers have been associated with the event.  Then I hung up.
  I was worried that he would have got access to my computer.  Is this possible?
  Thanks for the help
  Q

  Do not give what you have.  You are well.

  Nobody's-going to start the call with you on your computer.  Just like everything else you want to fixed - you have either had to implement this personally prior with the knowledge they would call you if there are problems (as a residential - and even security system then it will be a password or a way to prove that all stakeholders should be involved) or you will need to bring things to be considered.

• I have been hacked.

  Preliminary remarks:

  I'm not expert ESXi. I put the server to tinker.  I'm a Windows Guy.

  Is not a production company, but it's in a hardened environment.

  No one else has physical access or remote (so I thought) for this box.

  It is not on the internet.

  root password was not in dictionaries.

  What I want to know is:

  I was really hacked?

  Should what records I look?  (SSH is not on BTW)

  Without SSH how to newspapers?

  Facts:

  My Console now just says "Hey!"

  

  Nothing seems to be deleted.

  I can't do anything from the console. Root... still says Hey.

  I can use the vSphere client.

  I've changed the root password and shut down all systems that I got to the top.  I guess one of the virtual machine has been compromised, and that's how the hacker (if this is the case) has got access to the internal network (reverse telnet or something). It is a segment of firewall and there is nothing sent to this system from the Internet.

  Information on the post:

  I am posting this as a learning experience for me and others. I do not know I did something stupid. I was going to just to rebuild the system (will do this anyway), but that this network has nothing of value that I didn't destroy all newspapers, I can learn from.  I got lucky... It is just a test lab.

  Welcome to the community,

  don't worry, you have not been hacked. What you see, is the "Annotations.WelcomeMessage" which can by configured in "Configuration"-> "Advanced settings".

• My computer could have been hacked by Microsoft Technician via remote assistance?

  Last week I contact Microsoft support about a problem that I had and the technician said it needs access to my computer by the remote assistant in order to solve the problem.  I asked if he could direct me and let do me it myself but he said no, it must be connected by remote assistance.  As he'd download it told me it would take a while and he could not stay on the phone with me because he could help other customers in the meantime and said he'd call me when the download is complete.  He did call back me and was able to solve my problem.

  However shortly after my computer has been hacked and I am wondering if it is just a coincidence or could it have downloaded information from my computer.  Should I have allowed him access to remote assistance.  I am very worried.

  Your help would be appreciated

  Hello

  A Microsoft Support Engineer remote assistance is normal. If you have any other questions, maybe contact the representative of the technical support that helped you.

• My computer has been hacked and I want to delete unwanted users who have been added

  My computer has been hacked and the settings have been changed to add remote users.  I am trying to remove additional users that have been added, but I don't want to delete something I need by mistake.   I'm the only person who uses this computer and I don't want to share it on my network.  There is a user called "SYSTEM" that should I delete also Aministrators (plural) and trusted Installer. I have to keep one of these?

I'm waiting to do this, after all is fixed incase I am able to prosecute and use them as evidence. In one day the Inspiron has been compromised. I was able to get my HP and going, trying to do what I can, but then this MICROSOFT DEVICE has been installed, without my consent.  I understand why this product is useful for the most part, but why is it so easy for someone to install it without consent?

  Hello Matysh,

  In addition to the information already provided, I add some guidelines that might help with your question.

  1) go into user accounts on your computer. You can have administrator and standard accounts listed. Make sure that you have an administrator account that you created and change the password if you are the only person who knows the password.
  Then, remove all the accounts that you are not familiar with or don't want on your computer. Do not remove a network Service or Local Service account.

  (2) right click on the taskbar and open the tasks to the top manager. Go to the users tab. There you can see if there are other users logged on to your computer. If you are not familiar with users, select the account and disconnect the user.

  (3) get your computer course before you go out on the internet.
  If you use wireless, make sure that you use the most secure authentication type.
  Change the passwords on routers as most ships with a password. Change the router password so that no one else has the password. Check with the documentation for the router on how to change your password.

  (4) use the antivirus and malware information and make sure that your computer is free of viruses and malware before connect you to the internet.

  I hope this helps.

• My computer has been hacked

  Please help me?

  I am a senior and I'm sorry for not being familiar with computer language.    I use my computer mainly to send emails to my grandchildren and to do my grocery shopping.

  I've been hacked from someone who said they were from Microsoft.  After you call the credit Bureau and my credit card company, I am now afraid to send emails & shopping.

  Please advise me if I have to buy a new Tower?   My screen and keyboard, speakers are fine.

  Thanks for any help & help you can give me.

  Hello

  There is no need to buy a new Tower or the operating system.

  Reinstall the operating system, you have now installed to make sure that you are free of them.

  Read this information on phone calls scam:

  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.

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

  There are several methods to reinstall Vista.

  This can help you:

  http://www.heidoc.NET/Joomla/technology-science/Microsoft/57-Windows-Vista-direct-download-links

  You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

  They should do this for a small fee.

  To reinstall Vista using their recovery disk/s, you start from the 1st recovery disk they provide and follow the manufacturer's instructions to reinstall:

  You need to change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order:

  How to change the Boot order in BIOS:

  http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/SS/bootorderchange.htm

  "How to replace Microsoft software or hardware, order service packs and replace product manuals.

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/326246

  And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.

  The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)

  Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.

  Ask them to the proper key sequence.

  And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.

  Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.

  If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.

  Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.

  If this happens, you may need to try this instead:

  You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

  Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

  And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs

  Here's how to do a clean install of Vista using a DVD of Vista from Microsoft:

  "How to do a clean install and configure with a full Version of Vista '

  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/117366-clean-install-full-version-Vista.html

  And once the operating system is installed, go to your computer manufacturer's website and get the latest drivers for your particular model or laptop computer.

  And phone Activation may be necessary when you use the above installation method.

  "How to activate Vista normally and by Activation of the phone '

  http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/84488-activate-Vista-phone.html

  What to do if your computer has been hacked or hijacked and controlled by a remote connection

  Furthermore.  Many different programs added and if I try to uninstall or remove programs I don't recognize
  I'm being denied access.  I have cleaned, restored and repaired my computer several times and it keeps

  is not outside of me and they're using my name.  Can anyone help?

  You must save your stuff important on an external and reinstall your entire system since the manufacturer's recovery partition. You can find instructions for this on the site of manufacturer support.

  If you have no recovery partition, follow...

  Immediately after having re-installed, the next task is to make all Windows, including SP1 updates if your floppy drive or the partition recovery date before the service pack.

  Then install your antivirus solution. Avoid using McAfee or Norton. It is a good solution, free and easy to use...

  OK so far?

  Then, change the passwords for all programs that interact with the Internet... This includes Facebook, Windows Live Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, Skype etc.

  When you create a password, do NOT use real names and use a combination of numeric characters and alphabet, up and down case. It must be complex enough so that he could not be found in a dictionary, but not quite complex that you don't remember it...

  * O.T. > phone call

  I received a phone call today (a third) saying that my computer has been hacked and that they need to get into my system to make the necessary repairs.   They have stated that they are from Microsoft but I didn't honestly believe that.  Has anyone else had these calls?

  Thousands have and you have reason to be wary.
