When my computer has been updated to my programs. I had a program called Security Master AV. I went and deletedd, at least I thought I did, but it reappear. Help, please
Follow the instructions given below Web site
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/virus-removal/remove-security-master-AV
Use malwarebytes to remove this program
http://www.Malwarebytes.org/MBAM.php
Security Master AV is a program that impersonates an anti-malware program, but is actually a computer infection that uses deceptive tactics to make you think you are infected. This program is considered to be a fake anti-spyware and belongs to the family of Virus Doctor. Security Master AV is generally installed through Trojans that pretend to be legitimate programs, but instead to install this rogue on your computer without your permission. The installer will also create many harmless files that are detected as malware when Security Master AV scans your computer. Once installed, the thief will be configured to start automatically when you log in to Windows. Once launched, it will scan your computer and state that the files that it created during installation are malicious files residing on your machine. In reality, these files are harmless and pose no harm to your computer. They are only intended for you to scare you into thinking you are infected in the hopes that you will then purchase the program.
Hope this helps

original title: cannot find trayapp
What is trayapp was trying to install on my pc. I get a message saying: it can not be found as adobe boxes keep popping up to download but none ends
TrayApp is an application that comes with the HP Photosmart Digital Imaging software and is used for scanning and printing of documents and photos. It is provided with the installation of most of the HP product CD. A file called TrayApp.msi tells your PC how to install the required software and drivers.

With Autoruns, you can deselect an item which disables startup, or you can click with the right button on an item, then remove it. If you clear the check box that you can check back for re - activate the element. It is an approach much safer than editing the registry and better than using msconfig.
Another useful feature of the program is that you can click with the right button on an item and select search online to get information about the selected item.

A person supposed to be Microsoft called and said my Firewall Security Center was not working and had an ID # they said was my ID of computers that he read out to me and that I have no idea whether or not this is the ID. They wanted me to be in front of my computer and asked me to do things and wouldn't continue until I started, I started to do what they asked which of course I did NOT! I requested a call back number, and that's what he gave me:
1 855-731-4936 and his name was Fred Watson, was not American speaking, very strong foreign accent.
Is - is this legitimate?Its a scam. A well known and long-lasting. Microsoft will never ask you for personal information (they already have them) and you never call cold. Nor do they send messages of anti virus - and they do not have to connect to your machine. NEVER allow anyone to connect remotely to your machine.They are the partners who do this nor Microsoft does not only

I just had a phone call from microsoft/windows technical help
I feel so stupid that I fell for this but I don't
!). I told him that I would call the Bank later. reluctantly, she said ok, but said she'd call me in an hour - I said all that. It's then the strange thing happened - I tried to disconnect my computer, but it forced somehow back to and typed a message saying that please let me connected disconnect. I typed a message and said you have learned to be pleasant and able to stop everything. then (the storys stops not here oh no) it sounds me only true to his word back an hour the second later. and said - have you talked to your bank. I said yes. What did say, she said. I said, that they said that you are a crook. at this point she just freaked out at me. told me that I needed psychiatric help. so I said, and you have to find a good job and stop robbing the people hard earned money there. then she said something quite scary. She said you wait awhile and just see what we are capable of... I hung up and then cause a chill went down my spine.so my not very different history of all these other... Indian guy asked all week saying he needed emergency talk to me on the serious malicious virus on my computer. He said it was from Microsoft technical and necessary support about half an hour of my time. I asked him to ring back several times because with young children, it was never the right time. Anyway, he called again this morning and I thought I had better address this issue as it sounded quite serious, it sounded very authentic for me and in my mind, I thought that somebody to call me every day this week, he must be who he is, he said. so he took me through a website (I think it was logmein123) and asked me to enter a code and said that his colleague would then control my computer. which she did, all the time the guy was on the end of the phone explaining what she was doing. She presented as andrea williams from the Manchester direction! She then spent over the next 40 minutes on my computer. towards the end the guy says ok we have identified as you can see (I could see some sort of thing report on my computer at this point) we found quite a few mistakes - we can fix these for you. OK, I said. Andrea williams then says I have to download to your computer one of these options (it then lists the 4 different but recommend the 4th option at a cost of £289 I foolishly said okay.) a form then appeared on my computer asking for my card details name address date of birth ect - what I have briefed (BTW im currently hitting my head on the table where I'm writing this at my stupidity!) Fortunately my beautiful Bank was on the ball and refused a payment. This was the point that they have began to have a bit narky with me. the guy said he was going to pass me to andrea from Manchester who would talk to me in person to try to settle this payment. me thinking that I was going to talk to someone with a manchester accent... don't be stupid... .i started talking to another very Indian lady who was very rude and very impatient with me. then she said to me (Yes told me) do to ring my Bank while it took place on the line to address this issue. It was then I thought no Ive has had enough and finally, alarm bells began to ring! (all right all right I recently had two children, you know)Sorry to go on and give you every little detail but despite jokes he really shake me and I hope that warn you other people that these people are horrible and won't stop not stalking you until they get what they want, even when they have been rumbled. they have no scruples or even care about their effects on people. They you in real, and they are completely credible. After the call I informed fraud action (UK) the 03001232040 that gives you a reference of crime and pass information to the police. I was also advised to get a reputable company computer to look at the computer where they left any damage to the computer.can someone advise in the meantime if I need to do anything with regard to my computer, like most I'm now worried that they have endangered the security of my computer. also can they get on my computer once again without knowing me.Suggest you read the following: http://ask-leo.com/i_got_a_call_from_microsoft_and_allowed_them_access_to_my_computer_what_do_i_do_now.html
Recommend you cancel card credit/financial accounts that could be in your computer and change all passwords and have you reformat/reinstall your operating system.
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/help/install-reinstall-uninstall
Your computer and information (financial or other) must be considered as a compromise. You can uninstall everything related to logmein123 (which is a program legitimate and it is doubtful that the scammers could not back into your computer), but I wouldn't recommend that you even connect to the internet until it is reformatted.
Good luck...

I started getting pop ups very recently (oct 2015) I went to the Panel and programs a characteristic and class list install by date. At first it was one that I distrusted, maintenance on a hunch and firefox decided to uninstall it. I made the right choice - and how this program type of spyware/adware on my computer.
Hi, there is a legitimate program called Mozilla Maintenance Service, which in your programs, should show the same under Firefox version number - what is the Service of Maintenance Mozilla?. If that's what you mean, it would be not responsible for pop-ups advertising. If it is really "Maintenance of Firefox", then I would have certainly considered with suspicion.
You can check your settings pop up here - the Blocker settings, exceptions, and troubleshooting.
If the problem persists, you can try these free programs to search for malicious software that work with your existing anti-virus software:
- Microsoft safety scanner
- MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware
- Anti-Rootkit utility - TDSSKiller
- AdwCleaner (for more information, see this other AdwCleaner download page)
- Hitman Pro
- ESET Online Scanner
Microsoft Security Essentials is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP, if you do not already have one. Windows 8 already has integrated antivirus.

Recently had a phone call from an origin of the State of New York - the person identified as a Microsoft employee, and she warned me that my system was constantly sending through Microsoft error messages - asked me to press on "Control - Windows - R ' and other tasks... natch - I refused.
Anyone know of this type of scam?
What is and what is final potential?

* original title - on Nov 30,2010 I received an email from Eric Bent, press service that I had won in the coupon program. (code 1-0-2-8). How serious is should I take this? Of * address email is removed from the privacy *.
Hi Frans,
It's a SCAM! Microsoft does not make that neither have they partners that do and don't they hire contractors or individuals or even to find volunteers to do. There are probably thousands of these companies out there do every day - we get two or three posts like this (or more) each day ask about it. You are lucky who have recognized the scam enough not to be sucked in and eventually identify theft, infections, hacking your computer, convince you to buy software or services you either did not need or that do not really exist at all and all sorts of nefarious stuff. You'd be surprised how much contact us AFTER THAT that they realized they had been duped asking what to do. Don't waste time talking to these people, not give them any personal information it is, don't be fooled by what they can get allows you to see on the computer - in fact, not do anything they suggest on your computer or even to visit Web sites they recommend and for the love of God don't give them access to your computer.
Microsoft knows this is happening, but with these companies popping up like dandelions, or closing and changing names when discovered and operating mainly from abroad, it would take an army of lawyers to sue each other. They do the best they can, but they are just too many and more added every day. People need to pay attention to these things. They occur not only by telephone, but also by e-mail, instant messaging, mail and all the ways imaginable. Forget not that Microsoft doesn't this and hang up or remove the emails or messages or mail from someone claiming that they do because they know the information on your computer or that you want to get information from you to confirm your account so that it will not be closed and asking you your name of user and password and all sorts of other personal information. Microsoft DO NOT!
