    BSOD with Microsoft Security Essentials Tech Support


    Hello! I'm new here. I have a problem with strange BSOD with remote support banner form MS SE tech support in my laptop. Never seen like this before. It looks like compleate fake! But I don't know what to do. I found this site in Google ( look at screenshot - I have exactly the same situation) , but i don't know if i can trust it. Maybe you can help me with providing free solution on how to remove this nasty blue thing.

    Hello and welcome coraz looks like a scam to me and yes too good to be true and clicking on that link doesn't show any net address is http:// ******* it cretainly is not from Microsoft.

    So just what have you doe with the link - hopefully haven't downloaded anything. Can you let us know just what you were Googling for??

    If I were you I would run these
    SUPERAntiSpyware | Remove Malware | Remove Spyware - AntiMalware, AntiSpyware, AntiAdware!
    Malwarebytes | Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Premium
    AdwCleaner Download
    ADW download from bleeping computer delete any rubbish found with the malware scans
    (NB If one is running Kaspersky security it may rant about ADW - just ignore it or disable Kaspersky while the ADW is being used)

    This is a well known scam - although quite a crude attempt to sell bad products The BSOD is a fake used to get the user to download other software

    Since your computer is already compromised and already ran that malware, the ONLY known way to ensure a clean system is a reformat. Don't bother with antiviruses (it's evident they all failed in your case at this point), just take the easy and safe route, backup all your data and reinstall Windows.
