I was contacted by phone and allowed them to access my computer. I KNOW.. my son told me to never do this! Anyway, they proceeded to show me multiple errors on my computer. While he was doing this I became suspicious and asked him to stop and disconnect from my computer - he became very rude and told me to shut up and that I should stick a "dog up my a*s"
Bottom line he installed a SysKey virus which forces a password at the start of the computer. He said that I needed to pay him $99 in order for him to provide that passowrd. I called my son, who got a hold of him and argued with him some more and he eventually hung up on my son. I ended up taking the PC down to BestBuy Geek Squad and removed the SysKey (for a lot of money).
I wish that someone would find these people who prey on the elderly and rip us off. Once found they should be drawn and quartered - they would know not to do it again!
