Beware of PC Hacker’s Scam

© gruntzooki

While using a computer, a user may come across different types of errors arising due to viruses, spyware, faulty hardware or software, misconfigurations, corrupted windows registry, security threats, hardware conflicts and others. Any kind of malfunctioning on the part of this magical device - be it computer installation, configuration, security and PC performance- is a matter of great concern to us. Eventually we are then provided with thousands of computer repair tips, but very few trustworthy and effective to promote accurate and safe solutions.

Meanwhile Computer Repair and Support Franchise PC PAL is warning people against the possible threat under the veil of computer repair and sights the incident where Mrs. Smith of The Ridgeway in Market Harbough was on the verge of becoming a prey to the scam of Social Engineering- a frequent attack vector on companies. It is the quickest way to circumvent all security controls and anti-virus programs and is an easy way to get full remote control of someone's PC. Staffordshire county council has even posted a warning on their website about this very scam and requested everyone to visit the Microsoft Online Safety site for any computer repair tips and save your PC and yourself.
