Do you tell us to call a phone number for support with trojans
by Guest Jean Holloway- 0 replies
- 53 views
I got a verbal warning on my computer from Windows Defender security center telling me I had a trojan. I had no control of my mouse. The warning said to call a phone number for help and don't turn off my computer. I called. The Indian guy fixed the computer, downloaded a few programs like Network Security, JRT, RKILL for protections. He went through my computer, set up permanent remote control-which I think I turned off, and wants to do a monthly check on the computer. He offered a lifetime of protection from trojans on all my devices for $1579.99 It seems like he added protections but wouldn Continue reading...

by Guest AyushAmitabh- 0 replies
- 70 views
Since last 15-16 hours, I am getting these notifications/alerts that Defender found threats. I did a quick scan, but it showed that no new threat found. Although the Quick Scan did not finish completely, it just stopped midway and showed that no new threat was there. Then I went for 'Full Scan'. While running Full Scan, 'Estimated Time Remaining' kept on increasing. After running the scan for roughly 3 hours it reached to a point where it started displaying that the Estimated Time Remaining was 23 hours. So, I got frustrated and stopped the 'Full Scan'. Please help me out. Continue reading...
