I'm worried if Ammyy is scam or not.

Original title: "Ammyy".

I received a call from a company called 'Ammyy' talk about how my computer had corrupted (I was told with many others). I had to download their software to clean my computer of all viruses that he had supposedly been corrupted with. I clicked on "Download", but did not pay for the "Privacy" of £299. They were able to use my computer from anywhere where they operated and I worry about if it is a scam. Is it and what can I do about it? Thank you!

Follow these steps carefully:

If you need search malware here's my recommendations - they will allow you to
scrutiny and the withdrawal without ending up with a load of spyware programs running
resident who can cause as many questions as the malware and may be more difficult to detect as the
cause.

No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy
to detect malicious software often comes with a much harder to detect and remove the payload. Then
its best to be thorough than paying the high price later now too. Check with them to one
extreme overkill point and then run the cleaning only when you are sure that the system is clean.

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

  • Scam or not

    I just got a phone call, would have been an employee of windows, who says that they have received information that my computer is corrupted by various messages. These I found on the control panel errors in red and warnings in yellow. He says that it is slowing down my computer and produce other problems. He proposed to resolve this issue if I defer control of my computer for him for a few minutes. This seems a very weird way for windows to act. Can I assume that it is a scam? This not the first time thay have rung. They don't seem to have the details of my computer.

    Yes, it's a scam. Unfortunately, they keep ringing forever.

  • Order by e-mail Held - is it a scam or not?

    I ordered a XPS 13 on the Dell site us. An hour after that I placed my order, I received an email from "Order Held" informing me that Dell could not process my order due to invalid or missing credit card information. They asked me to call 1-800-571-3355 Ext 41-61285 in order to obtain the missing information.

    I checked with my credit card company and they said that the payments to Dell was through. The status of the order on the dell website now is "In Production".

    Is that what this e-mail "Command Held" trustworthy? Or is it a scam? In addition, what is the real status of my order?

    See you soon

    Hi Sybook,

    Thanks for posting on the Dell Community.

    More probably it comes a call legitimate. Dell does not charge visitors until it makes the device delivered, so if the Finance Ministry could not verify your payment method, then a "shim" would be on the agenda.  Unfortunately, the order will cancel in a few days if the hold is not released.

    When you contacted your credit card company, what is seen is a reserve placed on the card for the amount of the order, but the map is not loaded until it is delivered.

    Please go through the process of checking with financial management so that the order does not cancel. If you want me to check the status of your order, please contact me private.  Thank you.

    Kind regards
    Robert

  • FBI scam and not being able to use the computer

    I used you tube yesterday evening to watch a video "elmo" for little girl, and this morning I got a screen that says FBI

    and I couldn't use computer until I paid 200.00 to green dot pre paid card.  I Googled it and said it was a scam

    and I could use the computer in safe mode, but I'm stuck now and don't know what to do.  I did a Norton scan and a

    free scan Microsoft security, and both show computer is fine, but I can't use the computer in normal mode.

    So what's up? What can I do?  Help! Please

    Hello

    1. excatly are you referring to when you say "tube"?
    2. What exactly happens in safe mode? When you say "stuck now" what error or problem you are facing?
    3. You are not able to start the computer in mde normal? What exactly happens when you try to start in normal mode?
    4. You receive an error message?
    5. What exactly is the problem you are having?

    If it works fine in safe mode, and then perform a clean boot.
    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows 7 by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    How to solve the problem by running the clean boot in Windows Vista and Windows 7:

  • phishing scam?

    I just got a phone call from AMMYY claiming they are microsoft.  I got suspicious.  They are actually affiliated?

    These scam calls are usually of a person representing Windows rather than Microsoft, but in any case, the call was nothing else than a phishing attempt! Do not give any information.

    It is a scam! Not to follow their instructions or advice and not to provide ANY information to them.

    Because they use the internet lines and/or phone to complete their fraud, there may be federal agencies in your country who are interested in discovering their calls. Their report directly to the appropriate agency if you feel you can contribute to their arrest and the charges.

    Microsoft do NOT pick up the phone and start dialing customers and never phones/e-mails asking for personal information or asking them to visit a web site! Please do not take into account these calls and hang up immediately.

    Avoid scams that use the Microsoft name fraudulently

    On another note, if you have problems with your computer, please do not hesitate to post a description of the situation and the error messages you received in those forums. We would be happy to help you. (information staff unnecessary or requested !)

  • Thunderbird treats Facebook posting notifications as scams

    I have put Facebook in place to notify me when new posts are made to a thread where I commented. For some reason, TBird treats these scams and warns me whenever I followed the link to the comments.

    I can still make it, but it's boring. I would like an option in "filters" to mark a message as "not spam". Or something. Turning spam detection is a radical solution--I like _some_ helps avoid phishing emails, although I usually check URL before you click through. (More by fear of malicious programs because of phishing, but I always want to be careful).

    Apparently, the notification of the scam does not work too well. You who can disable in the Options > Security > Email Scams.

    Often, I get a warning message in Thunderbird that "this email can be a scam", and yet I already added this email address in my address book, so supposedly than Thunderbird should know that it is a reliable email address. Why he did this, and how can I do this function works more accurately? Please explain also basically also perhaps, as I'm not a very excitable person. Thanks in advance.
