Uncle's PC attacked

I get a call from my Uncle and he tells me that his PC is going crazy this morning.
It is saying his PC has been infected.

He calls the number and somehow this guy gets on his PC just to turn the alarm off.
Then of course his emails no longer download and he cannot go to any website at all.

I get remoted on and find its a proxy error. So I check his proxy settings and what do you know…

Someone turned the proxy server on and set the proxy IP address to http://0.0.0.0.0.0
I am suprised I could even get on the PC.
They live in Maine so definitely would not have been easy to see exactly what was causing the problem if I could not remote in.

Whoever does this stuff, I am sure there is a special place in the 8th circle of hell just for you.

May the vultures feed upon your face and defecate pieces of you into the ocean.
