844-245-1110

My Surface Tablet has a message from web page. stating possible virus please call 1 844 245 1110!!!

I ran a scan on window defender and it shows nothing but I cannot get on internet.

Got message when logging onto You Tube that there was a problem with my computer and to call this number for help in getting the problem corrected. Called number and reached a man who indicated, for a fee, he would help resolve the problem. I declined and he gave me another number 780-6777 to call if I changed my mind. Message was hard to delete and I had to change my log-in to the You Tube account in order to log-on to You Tube.

My computer was hacked by this number I thought it was Microsoft number and key them get on the computer

Since the scammers accessed the computer, they probably did one or more of the following:
• Disabled the anti-virus software
• Added nasty malware to the computer
• Copied the Contact List (so they can spam/email your soon-to-be ex-friends)
• Copied any financial data or passwords they could find
• Compromised your ID
• "Zombied" the computer, so it would respond to THEIR commands sent via internet
• Deleted some important files
• Asked for money to repair the damage they caused

What can you do immediately after such an attack?
1.  Pull the cables on the computer, so it cannot access the internet.
2.  Change ALL  passwords stored on the computer
3.  Run FULL malware scans on the computer, in "SAFE" mode!
4.  Change the passwords again, particularly if the malware scans showed anything
5.  Inform your bank and credit card companies
6.  Sign up for credit monitoring, and check the status frequently
7.  You may have to bring the computer to a local repair shop, and tell them the story.
8.  Tell friends what happened, so they can be aware of strange emails from you
9.  Plug in the cables only AFTER all the above have been done
10.  Change the passwords on all online accounts.  Even better - access a "safe", uninfected  computer, and chance your online account passwords RIGHT NOW.

I solved the problem by system restore in windows 8

I got a pop up when trying to get on utube,Security breach call 844 245 1110 , I called and was told to run a program , I never did ,thought it was fishy. Had a hard time deleting the message! I thought it was from Windows.I ran a security scan and nothing came up . Am I safe?

This number has left a virus on my computer

I got a pop up box saying someone was trying to breech my pad and could not get it off after I hit ok, had to call Apple

Got a security warning on the IPad saying to call this number. I cant get rid of the website now in Safari and locks it up. I didn't think IPads had that problem.

I was surfing the web on my I5 phone and I got a pop up message saying I had a security breach to call this number to disable it and restore service. I couldn't get the message to go away so I called it and spoke with a man with broken english..my guess asian...and he wanted me to go to my laptop and go to a website called Teamviewer.com. I went to the website..because Im stupid...and he asked me to download the site for free and read him the id number and password provided. I then hung up and disconnected the call.. he tried several times to call me back but I did not answer.My guess is this site was the gateway to my info on my laptop and phone. Am i safe or should I tae more steps. Im now paranoid about going on my financial institutes and ordering anything on line....

Can anyone tell me how to delete this thing so I can access the internet via phone? Android Galaxy 5 is what I use.

I shut Safari by right clicking and closed it.  I was good to, phew!

i also got this problem on my mac book but those people helped me to fix this problem
and i really appreciate those technicians to help me an they just charged $499.99 for fixing up the problem and the provide me with 1 yr of tech support and the network security which cant be installed by any local technician

Do you really think anyone believes what you have posted?  Go choke on cow dung.

This came up on my mothers computer and is BS!
