Please note that iYogi, SupportDock, GuruAid, and Ozolve are not affiliated with Kaspersky in any way. These companies purchase keywords on search engines to advertise themselves. Under the guise of being Kaspersky Support, they attempt to sell a remote service session or annual service package. Real Kaspersky Support is free of charge.
Once on a system remotely, some of these companies claim to notice an error on the user’s PC. They back up this claim by exaggerating minor errors and notifications in the Windows Event Log on the system.
