Usually scammers look in the Control Panel to see which software is installed. It is very suspicious if all the software has the same installation date or has a very fresh date. To change the installation date follow the next steps:
- hold <Windowskey> + <R>
- type regedit and hit <ENTER>
- locate HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
- in the left pane click on the key (most times the program name)
- in the right pane double click on InstallDate
- change the date (format 11112233 -> 1=year, 2=month, 3=day)
- if there is no InstallDate you can create it by yourself:
- right click in the right pane on empty space
- choose New > String Value
- call it InstallDate
- double click on the new string called InstallDate
- enter the date in the format as shown above
