Infected with Computer-Tech-Help.com? How frustrated.
I was on the internet and all of a sudden this big Computer-Tech-Help.com red WARNING YOUR COMPUTER IS INFECTED WITH A VIRUS! popped up - along with non stop audio saying those exact words. Do not shut down your computer! Call xxx-xxx-xxxx right now! I couldn't close the page, couldn't x out of it and I did something I know I shouldn't do - I called them. I notified my credit card company of my stupidity etc. and the disputed charge of $249 was removed. I also changed all of my passwords. I can't believe I did something so dumb!!
Computer-Tech-Help.com is a fake antivirus scanner may perform fake scans of the hard disk and then report multiple non-existent threats. To remove the threats, the misleading application tells the user to purchase a license for the software which may amount to anything from forty to one a hundred dollars plus, depending on whether a "support" package is purchased or not. Of course the software and any support packages offered are bogus and will offer no help whatsoever in cleaning up the problem or protecting against any other threats. It is suggested to remove Computer-Tech-Help.com from the computer as soon as possible to avoid further damage. It is better to scan your computer with a powerful anti-spyware program like Spyhunter to check out the problem and remove viruses.
