Computers HELP!!! - Page 5

go bo · 02-01-2016, 11:32 AM

like a dummy i let a caller who identified himself as a windows technician get access to my pc using some address like teamviewer...

he did a lot of changes and then told me i needed to buy a 1 time fix for only $249!!!\

when i said no, he said i would never be able to use my pc again and sure enough, when i rebooted the system demanded a password (i've never had a password for signing on)...

of course i don't have any password, the hacker guy put that on there i'm sure...

he had me doing something with some security certificate when he first mentioned money - i told him to undo what he had done to change my pc and he said pay the money and he would, and then i said well **** you then and hung up...

he then typed on my screen **** you harder...

just before i got that call, malware bytes was hanging at the point where it begins to delete the problems found...

how do i make sure he no longer has access to my pc?

how do i fix whatever it is he's done?

how do i reset the sign on password to no password required?

how do i make sure this asshole can't get into my pc again?

do i need to cancel my credit cards and change bank accounts?

ANY HELP WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!!

i got on this time by choosing system restore and starting win7 in safe mode with networking...

I still can't believe you allowed them to do that to you bro. Wow

You didn't give them your SS or Visa card numbers did you?

My buddy called me up this morning. Apparently his wife fell for damn near the same exact trick. I couldn't believe the timing. He's going to do a fresh install this afternoon.

yes, i would expect that the hacker got all my passwords and id info...

i've changed all the passwords from a different computer (in case there was some sort of key logging installed)...

and as fate would have it, we just got done replacing all our credit cards because the wife's purse got stolen last week...

so, here we go again!!

It works. I "bought" a used laptop that turned out to be PW protected and had to crack it.

FYP
