New technologies of Image, OMG Tech Support and PC health Boost legit or scammers?

I downloaded PC health Boost in response to a pop up and signed for $29.  The technician got remote access to my computer and made several areas requiring a rationalization suggested a best anti malware. He suggested that I could take my computer to the local Office Depot, or doing service remotely by the OMG Tech Support for $299 for a year of technical support. I signed up for remote assistance - for what he called a step 13 tune up and 1 year service tech for $299. He also suggested Stopzilla anti malware software for laptops for $50 each. I paid $405 with my credit card. He transferred me to a technician from the OMG that was supposed to take charge; I was to leave the computer open, connected and powered. I checked at 2:40; Watch box still "awaiting technician. About 07:00 msg showed work was going on, do not touch the mouse or keyboard. I tried to find a few reviews for OMG Internet and came across a question as to if OMG was a scam. The expert's response was that it was because of several reasons, she cited. I called automated national operator and request Microsoft support services, received somehow a couple of numbers in New York. (We are in the State of Washington).  I called the number that turned out be the support for new technologies of the Image. They said that OMG was a scam, Stopzilla was a bad anti-malware and to shut down my computer then OMG couldn't do any damage. I called my credit card to stop payment of OMG, (I forgot to PC Boost) and signed to the top with a new Image for 3 months of technical support and to check on my computer and cancel the job of OMG. The technician of the new Image then obtained remote access to my computer and has worked and will continue tomorrow.

Now, I am completely lost and scared. Are all scams? They are all legitimate? My computer and information been compromised?  What should I do?

Of the tank and into the fire. The list of scammers to which you have subscribed is more, isn't it.

Keep a note of all companies currently take you on a tour at your expense and then make a return to the installation of the factory of Windows to ensure that, when everything is back running, all passwords are replaced by something very strong.

Your computer is equipped with a recovery instead of disk partition...

This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...

For Dell, press CTRL + F11 directly after switching on the device

For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device

For LG, press F11 directly after switching on the device

For Toshiba, press and hold "0" BEFORE and during the power upward

For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo

For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.

For Samsung, press F4 to the power upward...

For Fujitsu, press the F8 key directly after the power

Advent, restart your computer. Then, press F10 repeatedly until the message "Starting system recovery"

Sony VAIO, reboot and press "F8" or "F10" repeatedly until the screen "Advanced Boot Options".

You may need to try several times to get everything above to work. If after several attempts, you have no chance, or the machine indicates that there is no recovery partition, your only option is to contact the computer manufacturer and ask for the model recovery discs...

After the reset, you should get all the updates from Windows Update EXCEPT for hardware devices. Then, you install a good antivirus. ONLY AFTER you have done this, if you replace the stuff of backups or install anything else.

Likely, you will not answer to a popup in the future that requires money in Exchange for the worst computer support that you will never get...

The guys and girls here support for FREE...

  • LogMeIn and guaru tech support and pareto tech

    I have trouble downloading desktop BB so I contacted via Skype, I think it's teck support Guaru which stood on a microsoft Web site. We did the logmein.com and they took control of my computer and said: I have major problems they would be in trouble for $120. I stupidly gave them my name and email when the asked before they said what it would cost. I told them it's too, and we disconnected. A did the same thing with pareto, they wanted to just make me buy their product. I'm in trouble through identity theft?

    Sorry it is Mytechguru I did part of Microsoft. NA not pay anything, but I give them my email and name. Have you ever heard of them.

    And you have given remote access to your computer:

    Follow these general tips if you are still worried:

    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.

    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.

    D:\ 28 GB-sized recovery

    I want to save system image backup
    Currently, to create the system image backup, I have only one option to create the image on the external drive or on D:\

    1 is it possible without having to reinstall windows create new partion E:\ in order of the system backup images that him?
    If yes how to create new partition in win.8.1?

    3. If for some reason I want to reinstall the operating system from the recovery set DVD (s) factory setting of what is going to happen with partion E:\
    4. What is-locations of D:\ marked as recovery?

    1 is it possible without having to reinstall windows create new partion E:\ in order of the system backup images that him? If yes how to create new partition in win.8.1?

    (1) YES. Please see Computers HP - partitioning and naming (Windows 8) readers for the instructions titled "create a new partition.

    2. If the partion E:\ will contain system images can I boot from usb drive recovery and choose one of the system located on E:\ restoration images

    (2) YES, provided that you mean a 'repair Windows USB drive '.

    3. If for some reason I want to reinstall the operating system from the recovery set DVD (s) factory setting of what is going to happen with partion E:\

    (3) If you "reinstall OS" a set of recovery discs HP or an HP Recovery USB Flash drive, partition 'E:\. "is erased as support for HP recovery returns the computer to a factory State. I suggest that you store your "Backup of System Image" windows on an external hard drive for best results.

    4. What is-locations of D:\ marked as recovery?

    (4) the purpose of the "D:\". "HP recovery partition is to create your recovery HP personal media, return the computer to a factory State and restore the originally installed drivers and software.

  • I tried to respond to an email from tech support and he said that it was not a valid address

    my computer model is a dv8t-1000

    Hard to tell unless you post the address of problem in the form supportDOTsomethingATdomainDOTcom. I suspect it's a fraudulent email, especially if it was not requested. Are you lucky that accused had failed!

  • (Redirected) Alienware warranty new don't drive no tech no parts

    Our Alienware X 51 is under warranty. We have received a message that the hard drive was not, and fill out this form and the hard drive would be sent to me. We did it and he said no charge. Then I was charged more than $200. I called tech support and they said that I would have not ordered the hard drive, they had to do it for me. Then an hour later, they said the parts would be sent to a technician and intervenes next business day repair. It should be Tuesday or Wednesday. No one has contacted me to set up the appointment, so after searching the Internet, I found that repair has been delayed. Still, I contacted customer service and they said they did not know when, maybe tomorrow, maybe not, that a tech would have the parts. Technology can't get the parts, but Dell me past the night the new hard drive, I ordered by mistake? Dell support person could not tell me who was my tech or they came. No info whatsoever. Hard to not understand, no knowledge of how to help me. I feel like Im going to have a stroke of frustration. I have an Alienware, two laptops from Dell, a computer Dell desktop and both Dell sites currently. Forget all the others, that we had in the past.  Where is the love for a faithful consumer of Dell who has spent thousands and thousands of dollars? Alienware has no e-mail supports, just people who speak broken English. I can not call again. I just can't take more.

  • Is it true that it costs $99 / month for Mozilla Tech Support if needed?

    A parent who has been using FoxFire for years had a major problem with the loss of his data; After doing everything possible (restorations, etc.) he called Mozilla Tech Support and they said: of course, just give us your credit card; the charge is $ 99 for 30 days of technical support. He called the right number?

    Sorry to say but your parent has been scammed.

    Support us here. Mozilla does NOT support. If the problems persist post on this forum for help.

    I'm sure that there are many places calling themselves Support Mozilla, or something very similar. More frequent are scams of Microsoft/Windows. Whowever is probably does not have a traceable site.

  • Microsoft Tech Support set

    There was an online game hosted by Microsoft a few years back where you played a member of I.T. tech support and was walking around fixing issues. The graphics are poor, ala Lesiure Suit Larry, but the game was fun and interesting. It would give you scenarios as 'Sally-can't print. How you would fix it."sometimes you would give a terminal screen, and you must enter commands and it will give you the answers. Someone remembers this and what it's called and where I can find if it still exists?

    Thanks in advance.

    Some sort of game historian inside Microsoft who I bet can answer this question is Ben Armstrong.  Go to his blog and send the question.  Chances are that he has not only seen, but tried in a virtual machine.  He blogged about the classic game in VPC and have for years.

  • "" Is probably the dumbest question you've ever had, but I am new to Adobe stock, more dollar club, and I guess that since there is no button to say "Download Image" that the "license and save" meant by download. I did it, it took a picture

    "" Is probably the dumbest question you've ever had, but I am new to Adobe stock, more dollar club, and I guess that since there is no button to say "Download Image" that the "license and save" meant by download. I did, it took a picture off my amount allocated, but I did not download. I followed the indications of support for downloading questions and all done to take another credit away from me and I still haven't a download. What Miss me?

    If you check your history of license, you will see the images that you have acquired a license.

    I added a credit to your account in order to replace the image duplicated under license by mistake.

  • How to mount the iso image on the ESXi Tech support console

    Hi friend

    How to mount the iso image on the ESXi Tech support console?

    I run the sub command and it failed.

    # mount o loop-t iso9660 vmware-esx-drivers-net-be2net_400.2.102.440.0-1vmw.2.17.249663.292682.iso / free

    ESXi does not provide the option of mounting ISOs. You try to install the driver the driver Async package be2net / ISO. Follow the steps below

    (1) install VCLI
    (2) mount the ISO on the host where you installed vcli
    (3) use vihostupdate to install the driver
    vihostupdate-i b - servername
    He will ask for username and password of your host.
