Suppliers of Certified Technical Support Microsoft IT (CISCSUPPORT)

Can anyone give me information about a company called CISCSUPPORT, they called me a number of times indicating that they are the support providers for Microsoft IT. They asked me to open my event viewer and told me that the error and warning messages that I see create operational problems with my computer, and then asked me to go to my internet browser and enter the URLwww.ammyy.com and request remote access to my computer. They were very persistent, and they say that they represent Microsort and and you respond to error messages, I sent when I get the pop up from microsoft asking if I want to report errors that occur on my computer. They say that errors and warning are virus files that went into my computer when I downloaded the information and files from the internet. They are so persistent that even if I asked them do not hear that they seem to have me on the dial speed and every time I hung the phone that they phoned immediately until I stopped to answer and leave calls to voice mail until they dropped.

Yes, it's a SCAM for sure. Microsoft never call you unless you ask them to call you, take a look at:

  • Microsoft Technical Support phone scam

    Hello, I recently received a call (about 5 minutes ago) from Microsoft. They claimed to be Microsoft technical support. They told me that my computer has sent a lot of warning and error messages to Microsoft. They said that messages and stuff said that my computer had downloaded malicious software malware and it could damage my system and internal hard drive. Then they told me that they did not answer me and now called for helping me solve this message. (I stopped to think about what they said because I had been having a lot of problems of slow boot and Windows taking almost 5 + minutes to start). So I played along for a while, but only for a minute. The first guy says let me connect to our senior technical specialist or something like that. Then I logged. The second guy says: "Hello my name is ___ Snyder (I remember only the family name)." They have given me in my observer of events and after I hung up with suspicion and Bishop/confidentiality. They tried to call me again, but I rejected the call. Please give me advice on this issue. I want to know if it's a scam to take over my computer and steal my identity, etc. or is it really Microsoft tries to help to fix my computer.
    Some info on the "technical support guy":
    Both were men. We had a strong accent from the Middle East while it had a slight accent Middle Easterners to it.
    One of the men claimed to be the main _ (don't remember the average Word) specialist. It was called _ (don't remember the name), said Snyder.
    Track of the location of the call. Approximate location is the New Hampshire, USA. This is as far as I know
    Help, please! Also give suggestions on anything that might be necessary to change etc.

  • Security - calling who claims to be the support microsoft technical

    I just got a phone call from someone who claims to be from microsoft support, telling me that my computer has been hacked. He wanted me to access www.support.me in the start menu. I didn't have a moment that this person was from microsoft support. Have you heard of others receiving such a call?

    Fake phone calls to technical support

    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. One moment.

    Please see:

    http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/security/online-privacy/msname.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.

  • Microsoft technical support can't help you with the faulty Modules Installer.

    I have pleasures with support by e-mail dated December 18 and the subject of some updates that caused the Windows Modules Installer to stop working.  Here are the steps that have been taken so far:

    1. reboot the failet installation service.

    2 direct download of Trustinstaller.exe and Trustinstaller.reg.

    3. transfer of support tech System Info of MSINFO32.

    4 Indentifcation updates specific causing the crash of the installer of Modules and make a direct download of them.

    5 reset Internet Explorer options and disabling third-party browser extensions.

    6 direct download of the tool.

    7 supply tech with screenshots of SFC.exe and CheckSUR.log.

    8 run the SFC/scannow command to request of the tech.  Error message received after scan 25% over that he can't finish.

    9. made by tech to perform an in Place Upgrade of my installation disks.  Update could not happen due to Windows PowerShell.

    10. made by tech to remove Windows PowerShell via "Turn Windows features on or off."  Error message that PowerShell cannot be disabled.

    11. realized by tech to modify the registry to disable the PowerShell.  In Place Upgrade always reports installed PowerShell and would not continue.

    12. looked for Windows PowerShell among the "installed updates".  There is no update labeled "Windows PowerShell" listed.

    So that is where I am now.  Windows Update did not work except for the occasional definition for Microsoft Security Essentials update since mid-December.  No security updates or patches cannot install properly by the installer of Modules of Windows crash.  I can't repair my installation of Windows because I can't uninstall Windows PowerShell.  If someone is able to help, please keep in mind that I read all the posts about how to uninstall Windows PowerShell through the registry and installed updates; None of them have worked for me; so please don't cut and paste these instructions again.

    Thanks to anyone who can help me.

    System information: Windows Vista 64-bit, SP2 top Home.

    And you were right: a trial version of Norton is installed.  I'm going to grap the Norton removal tool now.

    You should have uninstalled Norton free trialware, and then run the removal tool, BEFORE the installation of updates...

    A call back to Epson says my Windows Firewall blocks printing Epson Status Monitor and by disabling the firewall every thing returns to normal.  Turning on the firewall without exception is still no difference and I should contact Microsoft for that matter.

    If the application works when the firewall is disabled, but not when the firewall is turned on, so you must create an exception for the application.

    I don't know what you mean by "turning on the firewall without exceptions still makes no difference" - no difference of what?

    You must determine the name of print Epson Status Monitor, then go to control panel > Windows Firewall (if your control panel is using "Category view", you will find Windows Firewall in the Security Center).

    Once in the Firewall dialog box, click the Exceptions tab, click the button "Add a program" and find printing Epson Status Monitor.  If it is not in the list that appears, click on the button "Browse".  After selecting the program and click OK, make sure that on the general tab of the Firewall properties dialog box that the "do not allow the box exceptions" is NOT checked.

  • When I run an analysis complete, there is a 'ultrww.cab' file and the computer turns off. McAfee said to contact Microsoft technical support on this subject

    When you run a full scan by McAfee, my computer comes in a file named "ultrWW.cab" and turns off.

    McAfee said to contact Microsoft technical support on this subject

    What a lame excuse.

    Make an indication where ultrWW.cab?  See this thread on a similar problem with Kaspersky AntiVirus: http://forum.kaspersky.com/index.php?showtopic=80688

    If the file that causes the problem is in a subdirectory of C:\MSOCache, you can remove the entire C:\MSOCache and all its subdirectories, but use disk cleanup (start > run > cleanmgr > OK) to do.  Read both of these items first:

  • "Error 1714. The old version of Microsoft Visual C ++ 2005 Redistributable cannot be deleted. Contact your technical support group. »

    (Windows 7 64-bit)

    This can be long and winded, but I spent 5 hours trying to solve this problem.

    It all started when I tried to uninstall a program, but I kept getting the message that wanted me vcredit.msi (or something like that) I downloaded a copy of it and pointed out the program of this file, but it has always found a problem and wouldn't uninstall. (Add/Remove programs won't uninstall it not more)

    So, I moved to the installation of a new program. He repeats to me '\Temp\IXP1. TMP\ is not a valid package for the product Microsoft Visual C ++ 2005
    Redistributable. Try to find the installation package 'vcredit.msi' in a folder that you can install Microsoft Visual C ++ 2005 Redistributable. »

    When I point to the vcredit.msi that I downloaded (just randomly sitting in my docs) I get "error 1714. The old version of Microsoft Visual C ++ 2005 Redistributable cannot be deleted.  Contact your technical support group. »

    I also have trouble downloading updates Microsoft for Microsoft Visual C ++ 2005 Redistributable & at the same time in updates it shows Microsoft Visual C ++ 2008 Redistributable.

    I tried to uninstall Microsoft Visual C ++ 2005 Redistributable via Add/Remove Programs, but it won't let me say it does not find some programs.

    This thing is annoys the heck out of me.

    I need to set the Microsoft Visual C ++ 2005 Redistributable problem (looks like I need the new version 2008 or 2010?) and be able to install and uninstall programs. Which is somehow related.

    Any ideas what to do. (Please speak as clearly as possible. I'm a fool when it comes to computers lol)

    ANGELZ

    Original title: Microsoft Visual C ++ 2005 disorders (installing and uninstalling of programs)

    Hello Angelz,

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community Forum.

    The error you get can be caused by components from Visual C++ Runtime libraries that are missing or get conflicted, perhaps due to a third party software or badly configured registry settings.

    So, I would suggest trying the following steps and check if the problem persists:

    Method 1:

    a. click Start, right-click computerand then click Properties.

    b. in the name computer, domain, and workgroup settings , click change settings.

    (If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click continue.)

    c. click change settings , and then select the Advanced tab click the environment variables button.

    d. the user variables area, click on TEMPand then click change.

    e. in the Variable value box, type C:\Temp, and then click OK twice.

    f. click applyand then click OK.

    g. follow steps 4 to 6 for the variable of environment TMP as well.

    h. confirm this folder C:\Temp exist, otherwise create a.

    i. restart the computer.

    j. attempt to install the application again.

    If the steps do not help, try the next method.

    Method 2:

    If you are comfortable in changing some registry settings, then follow the steps provided below.

    1. Click Start and type run in start search box, and then press enter.
    2. Type regedit and click OK.
      Registry warning:

  • received a call saying they were technical support from Microsoft, they called for my pc was hacked and sent error messages. I fell for this scam.

    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. "Alpha PC maintenance" and for 3 years, it would be $ 135. Now I don't know if it was the real scoop or I fell for a big pile of *! I could use the theory, I'm a senior, but I think I should have been smarter. What should I do now that they've been in the pc? Thank you JAFTX

    To add to what you already said, inform your bank company or credit card if you do banking online of any form or if you have given your debit or credit card number to the caller. Do the faster you it, the faster you can arrest the appellant empty your account....

    I got a call saying they were Microsoft Technical Support, and my computer was in danger. (I could not fully understand her Indian accent)
    He also said that I had to get my computer, so that he could show me what to do - which sounded fair enough, except that I broke my computer, so I have a computer loan. And then it's all less presence. And then he hung up.
    Now, everything that I've read here, that seemed to be the scam, so thank you for having this page!
