Security Concerns
Help After a Suspicious Warning, Call, or Click

Possible Malware or Unwanted Software
Check installed programs, startup items, browser settings, trusted security scans, and other common indicators of unwanted software.
Remote-Access Scam Review
Look for tools used by a caller to control the computer, remove unwanted remote-access software when possible, and explain safer next steps.
Account Security Guidance
Help with password changes, two-factor sign-in, and account recovery. Dan can also explain which banks or account providers you should contact yourself.

What if I gave a scammer remote access to my computer?
Stop contact with the caller. If you can, disconnect the computer from the internet. Dan can check for remote-access tools, run trusted scans, remove unwanted software when possible, and explain the next security steps.
