Computers HELP!!!

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...
