How the telemarketing phone virus scam works:

Alert

You receive a cold call from a call centre stating they are from Microsoft, Futureshop or other company stating your Laptop or personal computer is infected with a deadly virus. The operator will try very hard to convince you that you have a virus and that you need to clean it urgently. Some operators will even state that your infecting millions of users and an imminent danger exists within your computer.

The scammer will then request you to go to a website which provides remote Access to your computer. Once the perpetrator gains access into your system they will do one or all of the following:

Infect your PC with a Trojan Virus
Infect your PC then request money to clean it up
Steal your files / folders / passwords etc.
Use your computer to attack other systems.
Request money to clean the virus.

Simple ways to protect yourself:

Hang up on the hoax caller - don't worry it won't cost you anything.
Never give out your credit card or personal information to the caller.
Never let anyone remote access your computer unless you trust and know them.
Use up to date Anti Virus and Malware protection to protect your computer from viruses.

If you have already given out your credit card info we recommend extreme diligence going over your bills and canceling cards that may have been compromised.

Important Updates

Make sure to Update Your System

Although most software and operating systems are set to auto-magically update, it is important to check to make sure that you are running the latest versions. If you plan to update your system yourself keep in mind it can take some time and your computer will most likely need a reboot or two depending on how many programs you are updating.

You can also use online tools to check what programs needs to be updated:
PCs: Securnia
Macs: MacUpdate

If this is all too Geeky for you, we can do a remote update from our office or come to your home/office and patch any security holes and do a general system cleanup and get rid of those pesky dust bunnies. Ask about our Friendly Maintenance Program - where we call every 3 months to perform recommended maintenance on your PC or Mac.
