    Hackers using UltraViewer


    A few weeks ago I had a popup "alert" come up on my laptop with a voice saying my computer had just received a virus. It gave a phone number to Microsoft to call. Of course I was being scammed, but at that moment I didn't realize it. I called the number, and talked to a man claiming to be a Microsoft employee. He even went so far as to give me a "fake" employee number. He told me my phone and my internet had been hacked, and that a virus had been installed on my computer. He said he could fix the virus problem, but needed me to accept and install the UltraViewer program. Which I found out late

    Is Ultraview a scam program?

    UltraViewer is just a remote support software. Itself not a scam or harmful program. But the technician who contacted you may be a scammer. So do not allow him to remote control your computer if you could not verify his identification.

    Teamviewer Alternative: Ultraviewer

    Came across this earlier today, getting a quote together for a client. Anyone had a chance to try it out?
    According to their site,
    "UltraViewer is completely free

    - Currently UltraViewer is completely free, whether you are a business or personal, you can use it without worrying about paying any fee".


    The company has been around about two years, and software appears to perform most of the same functions. I found a few postings about false positives resolved by Mcafee and Avira, and some evaluations of systems after it was installed with clean results. Think I'll give it a try this weekend, see how it works out....

    • Can you provide more detail?
    • Who told you foreign hackers corrupted your system?
    • Who says you need to buy an SQL SERVER?
    • How did this whole situation play out?
