• Your company has never called a home residence to say that a computer has been infected with malicious malware?

  I just got a phone call from a person stating they are from Microsoft saying that my computer is infected. They asked me to run something and then they gave me a webiste to type. I was very tired and I asked for a phone number and she gave me 1-416-915-3536 or 1-800-500-44600 and ask Christine.

  Please notify.  Thank you... Bernadette

  It is a scam.  Whatever you do, don't let them get close to your computer.  MS does not have that kind of appeal.

  Good luck.

• fsmgroup called sayinhg that my computer has been infected with spyware

  I had been contacted by twice saying that you had advised the (supposedly legitimate third-party provider you?) to call me as my computer ID showed that I had been infected with spyware + report fsmgroup error warning. I carefully allowed them remote access where they have ran spyware inf and demonstrated on a 1000 Trojans.  I said several times that I wasn't going to buy anything and they said that they were not selling anything and that they were working on your behalf for me rid of bugs that will eventually lead to my PC to hang with a blue and black screen. However, the only way to solve the problem was to buy a plan. When I refused to purchase the plan, they started the files removed from my spyware in location, despite my asking them to stop - I turned off my computer to stop. I asked them why they did not respect my wishes and they couldn't answer. The person said it had deleted the wrong file and then hung up.  I caused damage to my computer. I can see no longer the same disks and I thought that it had removed the demand of c: Windows drive | INF.  There still a lot of files in this folder (more than 1000) which have been reproduced with an extention. PNF.  Are these files malicious indeed, if yes, what can I do? Also it damage by deleting anything in this area. I ran Malwarebytes and found no errors.

  I am very concerned. Please can you help.

• security of Norton says that my google toolbar is infected with a virus and I can't move to a newer version, because it is not compatible with firefox 5 or newer, what should I do?

  In the menu tasks of my norton Security window, there is a place to check protection against vulnerabilities. One of the concerns that he has an infection in my toolbar on firefox. He suggests that the best way to resolve was made to upgrade to a new version og. google, because as the still there is apparently no problem for it. When I tried to upgrade to a new version of google to cancel the former an open window and told firefox or most recent is not compatible with it. They said that I should either download something from firefox to fix or connect with firefox. Ido know even where to start, not very informed on the problems of this kind. / your help would be very appreciated. What should I do?

  You can use firefox 3.6, which is old, but always taken in charge and course. However, the best solution is to renounce the use of Google Toolbar because Google no longer support this with firefox, mainly because he has little to offer.

  You can always google bookmark by copying in Firefox. Please take a look at

  • Is Google Toolbar is no longer compatible with Firefox - here's some alternatives < - clickable link.

  I hope that the Norton report, you make reference to simply says that your system has vulnerabilities, rather that he suffers from a real infection (or that he has treated or quarantined malware).

  just got a malware warning when I tried to connect to hotmail may 18, 2013

  Hello

  Notification of Avast has happened when you went in your Inbox in Outlook.com and opened an e-mail.

  Avast stopped presenting the Malware window notification and then put it in the vault of Virus Avast.

  It was script HTML GFXHasher audit [1]... Malware

  When the Malware notification window came in Avast posters here were able to report it by clicking on the notification Avast link provided as a false positive.

  Hope that illuminates a little more on it.

  See you soon.

• I think I got several phony calls claiming that my computer is infected with spyware.

  I think I got several phony calls claiming that my computer is infected with spyware. They said that they were connected with Windows, so I asked if they were Microsoft and they said that no Microsoft would not call me. Wouldn't be a darn good Microsoft. The guy was Indian or Pakistani and wouldn't give me a company name, no matter how many times I asked.

  They said they received reports from my computer it has been infected. The last call I let them go through their process to prove to myself that my computer has been infected. They told me to go to the event viewer, logs of windows, applications and said there will be errors and warnings there.

  It was proof that he was infected and that they wanted to give me their approval to scan my computer so their 'Microsoft engineers' can solve the problem with Windows tools. At this point, after 20 minutes, I denied their access to the computer and hung up that it had no proof that I was worried. One of our friends had the same call on fixing Windows sound, she had an Apple Mac, I would have liked to see their difficulty its version of Windows.

  I have 3 questions for this and they are: -.

  1 can. anyone if your computer is infected using the event viewer?

  2 can they tell if she is infected when the computer has a firewall and is also behind a router with a firewall?

  3. I would be right in thinking that there is another form of the scam fake phone call?

  1. If possible, get the errors or warnings in the event viewer is quite common, but say you have a virus just based on that, it's simply stupid.

  2. they do what is called call cold. They call every phone # in the phone book and say "your computer is infected" even if you do not, Yes, it's a scam and yes they are stupid.

  3. Yes. The only way they would be able to tell if your computer has a virus would be if they had access to it, and if they have BEEN with microsoft, which is not, it would be a breach of privacy.

  I have photoshop 5 and I just got a new macbook. installed on my disk and now photoshop tools and appearance overall software is really pixelated why? and what can I do?

  Photoshop CS5 (as well as the versions of the other Adobe Creative Suite 5 applications) are not optimized for the retina on your new computer. They never will be updated.

  You must purchase a subscription to applications of creative cloud or Photoshop CS6 to get support for the Retina display.

• I was using iDownloaders browser and a message came your device is infected with a virus. I removed the app from my mini iPad 2 but now I feel crashes especially among angry birds. I want to restore, but I fear that the virus will reinstall.

  I used the iDownloaders app browser, (it is a video download application I use for a few years with no problems), when a message came "your machine is infected with a virus please leave the app and contact Apple." I removed the app from my mini iPad 2, but now I meet including crashes in Angry Birds Seasons and Rio. I want to restore the iPad, but I fear that the virus will reinstall themselves as well. Apple did not contact because I never heard of someone who got a virus using iOS. I took it slightly think to delete the iDownloader app would solve the problem. Im running version 9.2 on a retina mini iPad 2. Maybe someone has an answer on what I can try before you contact Apple. I appreciate any suggestions thanks JohnG

  Unless your iPad is jailbroken, it is not infected.  This notice is a well known scam to a fraudulent web site.  You can restore.
