888-341-2001

This is a fake tech support number.  If you call in and grant them access, they will charge you a bunch of money, when it ws them causing the problem all along.  DO NOT FALL FOR THIS!!!

Lee thanks for your post. I was trying to use my computer and then a page popped up on my browser stating to call 1-888-341-2001 to have a virus removed from my computer. It startled my at first because the page was in all red then there was a another pop up message in a white box. I did a google search for the phone number and found your post on this page.

Meant to say *It startled me....not my

I called this number too.. I work from home so I panicked and I thought all my information was lost... I called them and asked them if they were with Bell and he said..whatever your computer says and then I hung up.  I hope nothing happened.. I closed the browser and I'm running a Norton Antivirus scan right now.

Don't call the number. I saw it when I was using my internet browser and it had a popup that said that my internet provider was detecting suspicious activity, and that I needed to call the number.

It's just another virus. Just close out of your browser and do a virus scan on your computer and it'll find the problem and you can fix it.

I got a error message on my computer saying that my search history was suspicious and to call a 1-888-341-2001.  I did call and the caller on the other end sounded suspicious and I hung up.. Then I did research and it showed that they are a hacking group.. Don't fall for it.  This is the virus that they used hacktool:win/32/autokms

I got an error and called the number and talked with the tech for a few minutes, I did allow remote access and figured this was a scam because he wasn't doing anything, just talking, I made the comment that he was just wasting my time nd not resolving anything, he said I was rude and I was disrespectful and he hung up, I did a scan and nothing has happened to the computer. The guys name was Michael

They are scammers - do not call that number !!! Just power off your computer or kill the browser task and the problem will go away

So got call last night from this number. First person I spoke to was a man with thick accent, then after saying no, thank you (lost track of how many times), he put me on the phone with a woman who explained they rec'd an urgent message from System Mechanic that my computer was in serious trouble....my bank account info, mortgage info, etc. was hacked. I told her that I didn't have system mechanic...she insisted that in 2014 we bought a support package for $149.00 and I have a special customer ID, etc. I was on the phone probably 10--15 minutes wasting her time.....nothing interesting was on TV at the moment...so if I waste their time so be it. That was last night at 9:08 pm and today 3 more calls from that number.
