The We couldn't undo the changes scam is a Trojan from the Rogue.Tech-Support-Scam family that displays a fake Windows update screen that states it is having problems installing Windows updates and then tells you to call the 1-800-418-4202 phone number for support. This number, though, is for a remote tech support company that will try and sell you unneeded services and software. It goes without saying that you should not call this number.

It is important to note that this Tech Support Scam Trojan is installed by other programs that did not adequately disclose that other software would be installed along with it. Therefore, it is important that you pay attention to the license agreements and installation screens when installing anything off of the Internet. If an installation screen offers you Custom or Advanced installation options, it is a good idea to select these as they will typically disclose what other 3rd party software will also be installed. Furthermore, If the license agreement or installation screens state that they are going to install a toolbar or other unwanted adware, it is advised that you cancel the install and not use the free software.
As you can see, thisscam was created to scare a victim into calling the listed remote support number so they can be tricked into spending money on unnecessary services or product keys. For no reason should you call this number, and if you have already have and purchased services, I advise you to dispute the charges with your credit card company.
