I received a call today from a very lovely Christine. She took me through a tour of the Windows Event Viewer, followed by a visit to the Run -> "inf infections" which takes you to the Windows INF folder. Apparently I had 1,316 infections!! She then pointed me at www.ammyy.com but my virus scanner "detected" it as a virus. So we then tried www.logmein123.com which again my virus scanner "detected" as a virus. At that point I asked for her name and number so I could call her back as I had to go back to "work". :) It was an interesting experience.

tl;dr: COMPUTER MAINTENANCE DEPARTMENT is trying to get remote control of your PC to infect it with crap. Just hang up.

pc / sw scammer called from (03) 9014 9868 claiming to be a company called Virtual Support - see web page below - this scam has been around in UK since 2008http://www.phonesreview.co.uk/2010/07/19/scam ... o-be-microsoft/

A man (who sounded as he was overseas) just rang and claimed our computer was corrupted, despite us having Norton and told me to go to a website to fix it or a fee.It seemed fishy so I googled the number and fond this!

I had a call from Jarssupport, Computer Maintenence Dept., telling me my machine had a virus.  I played along.  They asked me to check the event log and told me all the messages where caused by the Virus and that if I opened one of the messages my machine would be destroyed.  Rubbish, of course, but I played along a bit more.  I questioned them on how they new about my machine and they started with the old "zfsendtotarget clsid" scam (google for it), where they tell you the machines unique id (which of course is not unique) and at which point the non-savvy fall for it!

Nasty people; just have to use a few techy tricks and most people fall for it!  

But that's the Internet for ya - all the normal rules don't apply!

if you'l want the companies full details then contact me
