Moderators hazelnut Posted February 13, 2010 Moderators Share Posted February 13, 2010 In an attempt to make users really believe in the fake av, one of them offers tech support. http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/915...th_tech_support Support contact https://support.ccleaner.com/s/contact-form?language=en_US&form=general or support@ccleaner.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marmite Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 The mother of one of my colleagues was hit by this scam about a year ago. Fortunately she mentioned it to her daughter who told her to have nothing to do with them. It wasn't so much tech support as a sales pitch ... 'we know you've got problems on your PC ... let us sort it out ... for a small fee'! They harassed a little initially, but once they realised she wasn't going to bite they left her alone. It's one of those things where the unwary and the less PC savvy can get caught out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted February 14, 2010 Moderators Share Posted February 14, 2010 I wonder what their fave av uninstall support costs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDPower Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 I wonder what their fave av uninstall support costs. Don't be silly, they won't charge you to uninstall. No, they'll offer you an upgrade. For a small fee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
login123 Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 I have a couple of real applications with fake tech support. Now the reverse is possible. The CCleaner SLIM version is always released a bit after any new version; when it is it will be HERE :-) Pssssst: ... It isn't really a cloud. Its a bunch of big, giant servers.
