Scammed by Ammyy
I wish that I had read this site before I took in. but once I had, I wrote to them saying: I was scammed and less than 5 minutes, I was totally refunded. How can we make it more accessible to everyone?

Saying that he had problems with my computer, etc...
Made me install ammyy, he told me that I had to buy $50 program
I discovered that it was a scam as soon as 3 minutes after, I did the following:
He disconnected ammyy, me am disconnected from the internet.
a system restore point to October 8.
Then I did a reinstall of system manufactured settings (new)
Did a scan with norton, found nothing
Uninstalled norton, installed AVG, done a scan in safe mode and online found nothing
Installed malewarebytes anti malware analyzed, found nothing.
I was wondering, if it was possible for them to look through other computers in the House, even if they had like 4 minutes.
I also installed search and destroy yesterday but nothing found
Please help me.

I got a call yesterday from an Indian guy, saying he was from Microsoft. He said that they have been informed that my computer has been hacked and that it would help me avoid my computer stop completely. He made me the page of Event Viewer, and then I allowed him to take control of my computer through ammyy. He transferred my call to another guy who showed me a list of allegedly corrupt files. He then asked me to subscribe to a protection plan for $299 for 2 PCs for 5 years, or $499 for the lifetime of an unlimited number of computers. I then googled ammyy on another computer and realized it was a scam. Then, I turned off my PC and suspended.
After that I ran a full scan of Norton which found and fixed some adware. I then downloaded Malwarebytes and did a full scan that found a virus:
Trojan.Downloader.NSW. I removed it. I then restored the PC to before the last windows update, which was three days earlier. It took more than 20 minutes to restore.
I will contact all banks where I have accounts to ask them to search for suspicious activities. I change all my passwords. Is there anything else I need to do?
Finally, another question: when interacting, he made me go to pccare.org by curiosity, after restoration, I typed www.pccare.org and immediately appeared in the top left of the screen in big bold letters 2 words: it works and nothing else happened
My question is: This means that my computer is still infected

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!

I received a phone call from a person claiming to be with Microsoft, saying that they have detected the malware on my computer. They led me run some diagnostics, Event Viewer, which showed more than 2,000 error and warning messages, and another page that shows the various functions of Microsoft Works does not. Then they directed me to a site called Ammyy to give them a connection to my computer remotely and allow them to delete the malware. It seems not legitimate, so I hung up. This is - possbily a call legitimate Microsoft or obviously a scam? If a scam, what is the significance of all these error and warning messages? Thanks for any help on this.
Calls unrequested telephone of this nature are almost always a common scam. Do not let them give any info, do not give access to your PC, not give them all the money and do not go to all the websites that they suggest. Hanging up was the right thing to do. :)
Please see:
http://www.Microsoft.com/en-GB/security/online-privacy/avoid-phone-scams.aspx
Microsoft issues never not solicited for phone calls of support or security.
These types of callers can use completely fictitious names or bogusly claim to be of real companies other than Microsoft as well.
It is best to think of what you see in the observer of events as events (where the name) instead of all being errors. For more information, please visit:

Is it a scam? Calling from India indicating that my windows had been compromised.
Had a saying today (to India) call that Windows had been compromised, and they needed to repair. Said tech services MS. tried to get me to give him access to the ammyy.com website, which I think is a legitimate site. They already had my computer number CLS somehow. I do not pursue them, but managed to get his phone number: 315-636-4810. What should I do?
Hello GP.66,
UN less you have prepaid support contract with Microsoft, then Microsoft will never ever call you or send you all your PC problems. It's simply a scam you bring to give access to your PC to allow these people to steal your password and other personal information such as banking passwords etc.
Fortunately, you don't fall for their scam!
This forum post is my own opinion and does not necessarily reflect the opinion or the opinion of Microsoft, its employees or other MVPS.

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 !)

Phone call from Microsoft windows scam
Hello
I received a phone call saying he was Microsoft Windows and there are system reported that my computer was full of viruses and malware, and they said that my computer was sending viruses in e-mails that they lock my email account in order to protect others. They knew my name and said they could make me a lot if I could prove that I was learned as they need my bank details to level from 4 years of life support that will continue with new computers to replace old. I stupidly gave details as he said that if I did it would install antivirous in the computer as a dinner he says my current software wasn't good.
Then he forced me to enable remote assistance and took me to the purchase for Business Package of distance page help for New World Services Inc. and forced me to enter my data I did. After completing the session, I received an email of New World Services Inc., saying that I had bought the business package and looking upward found only for four years. I then went to my Bank and the cashier told me it was a scam and I got mannaged to cancel the card before it empied my account although New World Services Inc. did take £252.00 my account and told them about the scam and that I don't want there services and do not call me.
I always get calls saying they are Microsoft Windows or they are malicious and calling about my computer with virus software and when I don't, thank you and hung up there have been moments when someone else says the exact same words as little as an hour later, well that people call regularly as now I know most of them as soon as they speak.
They installed ammyy to allow access through my firewall to send windows logs them so with selected McAfee frirwall and ammyy blocked as they had shown me the observer of events the adminastrative events and said cuircles reds are virouses and yellow triangles are malware. When I said that the red circle is when I did a forced when troubleshooting stop where I pressed the button for a few seconds.
Then I got a phone call saying could I turn on my computer as the info from my computer that has virouses and malware had said. If blocking ammyy had worked as before they were able to tell red any yellow order of events. So I then removed my computer ammyy and that they would not receive the ball more.
When after I dial to get phone calls not the last call, I get when they called and get that they do not have the number of appellants and it has afflicted me that sometimes there was as little as an hour between calls, it seems I'd barr the number of fraudsters and barr New World Services Inc. If they continue to call and if need be I have to change my phone number.
1. contact your credit card company, if you had given the scammer, your credit card number.
-Cancel the card and ask for a replacement with different identification number.
-If you have paid the scammer with your credit card. The card has been compromised.2. contact your bank.
-Change the account.
-Change the PIN code.3. If you saw the crook of remote access to your computer, it is compromised.
-Reinstall Vista
-Use another user name and password.4. talk to your local law enforcement... If you want to go that far.
-Ask to speak to people in the Department of wire fraud. See if something can be done about it.5. change the phone number.
-Scammers will call you. They will not stop. -

My computer is threatened by this type of scam?
I wish I had read this earlier. I was just hit with one of these calls. I am the perfect target because I know very little about the computer. What I did and regret it now, is that I let them teach me to a website call www.ammyy.com and from there, that they had remote access to my computer. From the outside, they under the control of the mouse and showed me the list of warnings and errors and said that my antivirus software did not work. They said I should buy a software called Windows 7 Ultimate. It is then the PIN fell. They said I should buy the software immediately to them on the phone. I know it was a scam and hung up. Within minutes they had remote access, it does not mean that the security of my computer has been broken? What should I do now? I'm the Australia.

The assumptions of what you read - Yes - it is possible that your machine is infested/infected with one or more things.
What you are- but I would restore the system to its default settings.
