Eric Veteran Posted May 5, 2013 Veteran Share Posted May 5, 2013 Malware/scam. Nothing in Windows that does backups requires you to "register your computer." DrJohnSmitherson 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDisneyMagic Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Definitely malware, I would CTRL ALT DEL go to processes and see if you can find it and kill it before running a scan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mystic Mungis Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Yupp as others have said it's malware, try and find the process in task manager and end it then blast it with MalwareBytes :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scubacollie Posted May 5, 2013 Author Share Posted May 5, 2013 Cheers guys, found it in Task Manager, disabled it, and also found the program in Explorer, but left the file there and just downloading Malwarebytes and will run that first and see if it finds it before i delete it.

Obi-Wan Kenobi Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 Malwarebytes should take care of it. Piece of cake. As said above, Windows will not ask you to register for a simple backup. Sounds like you got it all under control, though! (Y) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Growled Member Posted May 6, 2013 Member Share Posted May 6, 2013 I hate getting that stuff. It's super annoying. Hope you get your PC cleaned out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Warwagon MVC Posted May 6, 2013 MVC Share Posted May 6, 2013 Also judging by the "Windows update" icon next to your clock it looks like you may have some updates to do ;) Updates to Windows and to 3rd party applications such as Flash, java and Adobe reader, in my opinion are even more important than an Antivirus!
