12 yearsFor a few weeks I kept having issues, so I finally checked out the add-ons and got rid of a file named discogames. That seems to have sorted everything now.12 yearsBe really careful with these people, they’ll try to get into your computer and ask for card details. It smells fishy and seems like a total scam. Don’t trust them or let them near your PC at all.12 yearsMy screen's been totally taken up by this number and I can't get anything done. Does anyone know how to get rid of it?12 yearsMy laptop got hijacked and now I’m dealing with the same issue. It’s really annoying!12 yearsAvoid dialling 08007562985, it’s definitely one of those scams.12 yearsI’m really upset because I just got a call and I have a feeling I’ve been scammed ๐ข. It’s so frustrating! Can they access my photos or personal stuff? Also, what does this ‘restoring’ thing mean? Honestly, I’m not very savvy with all the tech stuff.12 yearsThey're trying to sell you some anti-malware service, but it's all a scam. We've been through the same experience!12 yearsIf your computer actually had a problem, even Microsoft wouldn't be able to sort it out just over the phone, so don't get caught up in their scam. It's all just a trick.Microsoft12 yearsI’d seriously advise against phoning this number. My daughter gave them a ring and now her screen is flooded with annoying pop-ups she can’t seem to get rid of. They’re just taking advantage of folks who aren’t tech-savvy. Honestly, it’s pretty disgraceful. If you’re from Asia and not living here yet, maybe just move to England - plenty of free support available.England12 yearsI got a call from a lady with an Asian accent, and I asked if she was from Microsoft. She said they worked together with the company. They then told me to type www.join plus some digits on my laptop, but I wasn’t sure about it, so I just hung up. After deleting the program and finishing a Norton update, guess what? No more calls or messages popped up. Also, if you check the top of the screen, it clearly says it's an advert, which gave it away.MicrosoftNorton12 yearsHow do these pop ups keep appearing? Can't seem to get rid of em no matter what I try!12 yearsARGHHH! If i dont ask then please dont bother me. Cheers!12 yearsThis keeps showing up on my computer all the time!!! I just can’t seem to get rid of it.12 yearsMy husband’s computer keeps showing calls from this number all the time. We've contacted our antivirus company, but they haven’t been able to block it.12 yearsAbsolute scumbags! They tricked my sister into sharing her info and downloading things on her computer. Now she can't get into it and has to go all the way to the bank for help. My sister’s got some brain injury, so she didn’t realise what was going on. I’m so mad right now!!!12 yearsI thought my security software was up-to-date, yet I still got this adware/spyware alert showing this number as the contact. Luckily, I checked this website first and avoided calling. Plus, the stated location and ISP were totally inaccurate!12 yearsHey, someone just took over my computer remotely - what should I do now? Is it possible for them to access my personal info or bank details? Really worried here.12 yearsMy iMac suddenly showed a message telling me to call some tech support number. They asked me a bunch of questions and then said they'd connect me to a secure database to fix the issue. I got suspicious, so I ended the call and rang Apple straight away. They told me loads of firms do this to try and steal banking info. I got a bit nervous and took a reference from Apple, saying I'd get back to them. Just watch out for this kind of scam!Apple12 yearsI didn’t call the number cause something about it felt off. But now, whenever I open Safari, I’m bombarded with annoying pop-ups that I just can’t seem to close. It’s driving me mad. I’ve wasted ages trying to sort it myself and it’s really getting on my nerves. Being retired, I’m probably gonna have to shell out for a pricey expert to come sort this mess.12 yearsWhenever I try to log in, this annoying pop-up shows up, just like others have mentioned. Is there any way to make it stop?12 yearsI got one of those dodgy pop-ups on my laptop saying I had to get in touch with a "Certified Live Technician" about some issue. The number they wanted me to call looked legit but turned out to be a scam. Even after shutting my computer off and switching it back on, the annoying message kept coming back. In the end, I had no choice but to hire a computer bloke I know, and it cost me a fair bit to sort the mess out.12 yearsMy computer got messed up because of them, and now their number just keeps popping up on my screen. They somehow got into my system and have been causing trouble non-stop. Is there no way to stop these folks? Doesn’t anyone have laws to deal with this kind of thing?12 yearsThis number keeps showing up on my computer screen.12 yearsI got a weird warning on my laptop showing my local code plus info about my internet provider. When I tried calling the number, it didn’t even ring properly and I just heard a woman with an Asian accent say goodbye. Quite strange!12 yearsIsn't there any way to track these people down and put an end to this? It's really frustrating, and all the other rubbish online as well, of course.12 yearsGot a call from someone pretending to be Norton alerting me about a serious virus on my computer. When I rang back the free number they gave, they tried to get me to let them take over my PC remotely to "fix" the issue. Turns out the virus was fake and they actually messed up my computer on purpose, then wanted cash to fix it again. Total scam!Submit Your Own Report (0800 756 2985)
