Mod can you move if this should not be in general
Had a call from my Gran the other day, while my Granfather was on the phone. Had a call from a company claiming to be Microsoft IT support. Telling him his PC was full of viruses.
Number: 02088199804
Symantec having a go at them - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WhV6rIgyQ-s
They got him to use logmein so they could remote his PC and started to load Event viewer, and the temp folder telling him all the errors where viruses. They also loaded the certificates screen and said they where call going to expire.
I told my granfather just to hang up on them and shutdown the PC until I got there.
Loaded it up to find this
They had created a vbscript and put it in startup to give the messages everytime it loads...............................am **fully start out swearies in future** fuming
My Granfather has the full version of AVG and they said its was rubbish. They wanted him to pay them £89 to clean up his PC
