Guys I'm pretty scared right now. A guy rang me and claimed to be from Microsoft? He said my software warrant was out of date. He then guided me to event viewer, where this was shown.
He told me this is all the malicious software on my computer. He said my computer is ready to blow at any time, and that it is not running how it should. (IMHO it ran fine?)
Then he told me to go to www.support.me
I needed a software code (which he gave me) to go into a chat room with a IT Technician. He then accessed my computer and typed msinfo32exe and etc and a huge wall of numbers popped up. He said it is now removing all these problems. He said he worked for Global Pc.
After about 10 minutes and notification from my father, I stripped out the internet and turned off my pc.
Please guys, WHAT JUST HAPPENED? After a reboot my computer is fine?
So, were all my details etc stolen!??! Please help! My computer is on, but with no internet connection. I'm on my secondary pc.
EDIT: After some common sense I find that I'm in the all clear! They could of not done anything, they just wanted my credit card details. ! Please be wary if you get a call similar to this!
