What is First Choice Tech Support?
Yesterday while I was running the Windows Edge Brower I got an new tab looking like this:
BSOD: dllRegisterSetting has detected the error code 0x80040201
Window's Defender Error Code: 0x80073afc
0x000000CE DRIVER_INLOADED_WITHOUT_CANCELING_PENDING_INSTALLATION
There was more and then a popup window had a message requesting me to call 855-875-1572. I failed to clear the tab and the popup. I loaded some adware removal and antivirus software which removed several things, but the tab in the brower cannot be removed. even rebooting the laptop did clear the tab.I then called the number and I was connected to a First Choice tech Support representative. The woman on the phone (Olivia) talked me into doing a remote connection and instead of clearing the problem she tried to sell me a service to optimize my PC for only $250 a year. She said my PC was checked for viruses and she said there was none present, The Windows Edge problem was due to other programs on my PC that were not optimized. I hung up and I did not buy the service from them. I checked the internet, using another computer, and I found out that it was a scam. How can I remove the tab? It stays there blinking away.
