First off, I am disappointed the the "Contact Us" link does not work.
Secondly, I have used Spybot but my Surface keeps getting messages that if I do not call a number all my data will be lost. The message is: Microsoft Edge Server Microsoft.com port 339.info is asking for my log in and password.
The second message is: Server reports from 0x80070424 warning. Activation key damaged system compromised call 888-578-0463
The third message at a different time was Msoft.com -msoft510.info Error: unknown system failure.
An oral message warns me not to turn off my computer or my data will be lost and to call the number listed above to resolve.
Fortunately, I am able to shut down my computer and then close the windows after some effort or use alt-ctrl-del to stop the program. I have not lost data, but am disappointed that Spybot does not protect me. I have stopped Spybot and will rely on Windows Defender to see if the problem reoccurs. I really wish Spybot could provide the technical support the website indicates is available.

Hello joestehling,

Sorry to hear of the problem, did you receive an error message when trying to use the contact form?

I see you posted a topic (https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/protect/forum/protect_other-protect_scanning/microsoft-edge-server-microsoftcom-port-339-asking/d151dba1-230c-4981-93e9-72a1f3903deb) at Microsoft Answers on May 6th. "I use Spybot Search and Destroy for my antivirus."

To clarify, you have the Spybot +AV (antivirus) edition? Program Overview (https://www.safer-networking.org/private/)

There are many tech scams. You ran another security program, "and it finds a bunch of malware and other problems."

Someone should take a look at the system.

Please see the Malware Removal Forum (http://forums.spybot.info/forumdisplay.php?f=22) sticky which provides instructions in post #2 on how to provide the logs from Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and aswMBR.

These logs are used in the preliminary analysis.

Then start a new topic in that forum providing the logs so a volunteer analyst can assist you, also provide a link back to this thread please. :)

Best regards.
