• I received 3 phone calls informing me that Windows Defender is hurting my computer and they will refund my money.

  * Original title: Windows Defender

  I received 3 phone calls informing me that Windows Defender is hurting my computer and they will refund my money. He also wants me to turn on my computer... I put him up until I can get the information... is it a hoax?  Thanks for any help...

  Hello

  Windows Defender is the antivirus integrated in Windows 8/8.1/10 and do NOT harm your computer.

  It protects your computer.

  @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

  Here's the advice I give on this type of phone calls:

  It's a scam.

  We have all the errors and warnings in our Event Viewer, which is another ploy they use to scare you

  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.

  You are the only person who knows if you gave them remote access.

  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.

  @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

  And Microsoft does not contact you unless YOU have made prior arrangements with them to do.

• I got Windows 7 activated, but I did a restore it cancelled. Can what number I call for technical support?

  I called a number of technical support for Microsoft and they transferred me to a specialist for the Activation Center, and she got my active product.  A few days later, I noticed something that I had downloaded had a few additional programs with it.  From my experience, until it became a problem, I tend to put the computer in a day or two to back it up on the problem.  When I did it this time, I was sure that the restoration would not affect the activation, but he did.  Now I have seven days left... can someone please give me a number to get my reactive product?

• Technical support windows call not requested?

  I just got a phone call from the Windows support. Lady asked me to press windows and r. subsequently a screen with warnings appeared. Unable to get a direct response of the Lady on what was going on, so cancelled phone call. Worries me now that I opened my computer up to pirates. Any advice would be very welcome.

  NO, it's a call of 'SPAM '.

  Ignore them, hang up, don't give them any details and do not allow access to your PC.

  See - https://www.microsoft.com/security/online-privacy/avoid-phone-scams.aspx

  If you have entered a few commands that she gave you, then you are likely to be OK according to what were the controls. Often they are simply watching the event logs or information UUID. If only awaits you and you gave no specific details of return, then you're OK.

  But if they have installed anything, or if you allow them access, or gave them no information, so you can be compromised. At the very least "What to do if you have already given information to a tech support person", see in particular:

  • Change password of your computer, change the password on your main email account and the password for all the accounts financiers, especially your credit cards and credit.

  • Scan your computer with the Microsoft Security Scanner to find out if you have malicious software installed on your computer.

• Phone calls from representatives of Windows

  Original title: ask yourself

  Windows representatives call you during the night. I get calls from people who say they are windows, last night phoned an Indian man and my partner has been pretty rough on him and then hung up, there's these true followers?

• Technical support Windows SCREWS

  I don't know if this is the right forum, but I just got a phone call that is supposed to be a support tech windows contractor called screw phone # 888-8857-7942 in New York, NY. The tech told me that I had some warnings that needed to be cleared up and asked me to go to my counter top. He told me to hit the button windows simultaneously with the R button. This introduces a window on my desktop that he wanted me to enter a few letters in and then run the program.

  At this point, I became suspicious and hung to the top.

  How will I know if there is really any warnings on my computer from Microsoft Word? -

  Hello:

  I would like to report the scam to Microsoft since it is their product.

  Maybe they can contact the police or FBI and understand the calling.

  No Microsoft will never call you 'out of the blue", with all the warnings about one of their products.

  You have made the right choice.

• Someone had a phone call from a crook "Windows Care"?

  Yesterday, on November 4, @ 5:00 p.m. PDT, I received a phone call from a man with an accent who knew my name saying he called "Windows Care" and there was a problem with my computer.  I hung up.

  I wonder if others get these calls in North America.  I read that it was a wave of them earlier in the year in the United Kingdom. How he got my phone number and name? How can protect yourself you?

  JenniferAnne, Victoria BC, CANADA

  It's a scam and the calls are received in Europe and North America we know... probably in Asia and South America also.  Name and telephone number could come from "the directory" or any public documents.  Protect you by doing exactly what you did... you were enough NET determine this was a scam and you have hung up.
