  I fell for what you all seem to feel is a "scam."

  I got a call saying they were technical support from Microsoft, they called for my pc was hacked and sent error messages. I was not too su re, but they had me enter a code on the pc, and it showed a list of more than 50 error messages, they said that they had received. Then, they control that is given to them for the mouse and seized a lot of information showing me the problems. Then he said warns me on; those pirates I needed a special program.

  15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

  There was a week when all computers were crashing?  Isn't also well - all that is that the mass is usually false - play on your fears that you are in the same situation as everyone else - but 'someone' has the solution and it will cost you only...

  Have you contacted your banks, credit bureaus credit business andf card to let them know that you were locked into a scam?  That is your identity may be at risk?

  Did you change all your passwords online and offline and to the format of your machine - restore to factory settings?

  You must do all this.

  Except if you initiate the call - well - just hang on cold-calls.  If a company is desperate to get customers, they call you - they may not be good at what they do, or you would have heard from them by other means - something better than disturning * you * directly at home.

  Now, I'm sure this isn't bonafida to 100%. The operator kept stressing that this was a free call... We'll see. But more than anything else... She was very eager to keep me on the line and when I disputed this... She became quite aggressive... that I told him. I know that this American customer service is and this woman had no such training. She said her name was Jo - ann and her operator number is 1029. Mozilla would like to be aware of this activity and act on it.

  Hello

  Just to clarify, did you see a pop-up that has pretended to be Mozilla, and referred to as Firefox? If so, we will this report to the appropriate groups of Mozilla.

  Thanks for the additional information.

• If I fell for a scam?

  I had some problems with my computer (Windows XP) and MS Office, when he said 'send report' when Windows displays the message screen when a program closes unexpectedly. The Microsoft Help window seems to give me options for a solution to one of them seemed to be download Speedy PC Pro, I did. After installing this program, he said that I should Phone 0800 014 8114 to activate the program, I did. and I was told that they had to go to my computer to activate the program. Very long story, but the gentleman, then crossed my computer show all "events" etc as part of the system. I find now that a company called www.safecart.com. is billing my credit account every six months automatically for the use of this program. I think the gentleman that I was talking to was actually a company called Advanced Technical Support and he was trying to talk myself into technical support full time at a huge cost. I did not buy the full maintenance of the computer and an annual cost to maintain my computer, but he said that he calls me in the new year and see if I would accept his offer?

  I tried the Speedy PC Pro and it certaily doesn't seem to clean up my computer and he did run very fast - but it has not solved my problem of origin who was MS Office based. but then I had a black screen message that my computer had been extinguished to avoid serious damage - which has happened twice since. (I contacted the Tech forum).

  I am parinoid about the use of the program that I've downloaded again and think I should uninstall it if it was a big scam major or a little more aggressive sales? I try to get the debit my credit card stopped. If it is a real program, I only I have a job or for a year, but not all the six months!

  For questions about your credit/debit cards cards/accounts, consult your bank or other credit instrument transmitter. If you have suffered losses or damage, consult your law enforcement services.

  In such circumstances, it is wise to check the system of different types of malware.

  Download Windows Defender in offline mode. Use the files to create a CD, DVD or USB bootable flash-player. Available on the Web site + download instructions. Start the computer from the newly created media. Follow the prompts on the screen. He's going to do a quick scan when you first start. As a result, only doing a full scan.

  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/what-is-Windows-Defender-offline

  Once the scan finished, exit and restart Windows.

  Download Malwarebytes free version. Install it. Run a full scan.

  http://www.Malwarebytes.org/LP/malware_lp/?gclid=CK_i_sqglbQCFQSg4AodnjYAxg

  (Scroll down a bit. On the left, blue "button".)

  You might want to keep installed and updated. In use, you must run an analysis, since it does not run automatically.

  Malwarebyte s both Windows Defender analysis will take some time.

  PS

  Windows Defender in offline mode is not the same as the Microsoft Safety Scanner. The former works without Windows loading. Because of this, it is able to detect some types of malware that can not the Safety Scanner.

• I fell for the scam yesterday. Chalk off the $199 for stupidity, what should I do to protect myself against loss?

  Microteche did a good job of looking like Microsoft. Gone througy my computer for about an hour doing the cleaning of basic disk has more what I think smoke and mirrors.

  1 disconnect from the Internet.

  2 communicate with companies of credit cards, etc. to search for unauthorized charges / report fraud and change your account numbers.
  3. perform a CLEAN INSTALLATION. (First of all, what is the make, model and model number of your PC?)
