Heyeveryone! Question about ultra viewer. I'm ashamed to admit that one of those scammers got me to download it. I caught on after a little while. He was prenteding to be from PayPal shortly after I had opened a dispute. Ended up trying to get me to put a Google play card. He was pretty angry with me when I made it clear I caught on, do they usually stop once you say you know it's a scam? He did not receive any passwords or money. Just my email and name. I immediately changed every password and added extra security measures and also logged out of previous sessions. I also obviously uninstalled ultraviewer. How can I be sure it is gone? I scanned the computer using Malwarebytes and it came back clean. Does Malwarebytes get rid of it? Any help is greatly appreciated !

Note: You need to run the version compatible with your system. If you are not sure which version applies to your system download both of them and try to run them. Only one of them will run on your system, that will be the right version.

i was on the internet looking at celebrity photos when my computer "locked". I was told that I needed to call a support number via a voice that came over my computer. Basically it was a sales pitch from ultraviewer. I shut my computer down multiple times to get rid of this voice to no avail. After speaking to 'Samuel" I was able to end our connection and uninstall this ultraviewer app. He said my computer was hacked which I do not believe,

Just received a call on a Saturday morning 10/1/2022 (ID showed: a local number in my area 203-235-9206 - which of course doesn't ring when you call it back) from a person claiming he is from Cox and alerted me that the Cox internet server crashed last night and they need to reset my computer and its modem to work properly with their network.

He asked that I check my modem to see how many lights are flashing. Then he asks that I sit in front of my Windows computer and find the control key on lower left side of keyboard. He then says "Now hold down WINDOWS four-squared key and press the letter R key" (this brings-up the "Run" command box). He then wants you to type in the Run box: msconfig - run it and then look for "Services" tab. He will then ask how many programs say "stopped" (your response lets him know you are actually performing his requests - it does NOT harm your computer - as you (and he) haven't really "run" any damaging commands - YET)!

Once he is confident you are actually in front of / and using your computer, he will ask you to return to the command box, delete the "msconfig" lettering most likely still residing in the box and replace it with a command to download from "www.ultraviewer.net" (setup vrsn 6.5). THIS IS WHERE THE RED FLAG OF CAUTION IS NOW FIERCELY WAVING IN FRONT OF YOUR BRAIN!!! The caller wants to take CONTROL OF YOUR COMPUTER (possibly to plant spyware, malware, etc)!!!

Although I already clearly understood this was a scam (even though he tried hard to make it feel proper), I played along with his request (never really downloading the file) and I stated my virus protection software was alerting me of a possible security violation has stopped me for proceeding to this site (which McAfee did do). He asked me to ignore the alert as he is from Cox.

An adversary may use legitimate desktop support and remote access software, such as Team Viewer, Go2Assist, LogMein, AmmyyAdmin, etc, to establish an interactive command and control channel to target systems within networks. These services are commonly used as legitimate technical support software, and may be allowed by application control within a target environment. Remote access tools like VNC, Ammyy, and Teamviewer are used frequently when compared with other legitimate software commonly used by adversaries. (Citation: Symantec Living off the Land) .
