Unauthorized use of "remote" access

1.5
It's unusual for a wifi provider network to want remote access to your computer. Don't do that anymore. I let Microsoft talked me into pressing the windows icon on the bottom left of your querty keyboard (the four flags) and press the "R" key at the same time. All of a sudden my mouse pointer on the screen was moving and clicking on things. Luckily it was me who innitiated the contact with Microsoft due to a malfunctioning computer so I trusted them. Fortunately it was a legitimate Microsoft technician and he fixed my problem. Lots of Microsoft scammers using the same "window" icon and the "R" on your keyboard under the guise that it's Microsoft telling me I had a virus and for $300.00 they could fix it. It's still hard for them to get your banking information if you refuse to give them any password. Microsoft doesn't ask for any passwords.

User's recommendation: Don't give anybody remote access to your computer.

BAD and a SCAM

I was told that this company was going to fix my router problem and come to find out that they put a virus in the system and I had to go to another company to get it fixed and secured. None of the devices were secured! I want my money back that was taken from me for the total amount of $149 and the amount that I have/had to pay for the new company to come in and put in a monitoring system and all the security programs to the tune of $535.00. I will be going to my bank to talk to them about getting my money back from Softcrux Solutions.
