No way would a sensible reader waste time reading half this nonsense. The smart phone for web is way smarter. Only corp bullies would claim such nonsense. How dumb are they? The ONLY problem here if getting big bro and the dumber than dumb out of our way. Most people spend most of their computer time on internet related activities. Are there ways of keeping someone from logging into their computer? I am having issues and cannot seem to login. How do I get it back?
BUT, enough is enough. Sweeeeeeet fix. So quick and easy compared to what I was going through before I went this route.
I just let someone claiming to be from the Geek Squad access to my computer. They wanted to sell me security for the PC. They even told me that if I change my passwords, that the hacker can still get them.
I feel like such an idiot, I should have known better. I also uninstalled the software that they installed, looked like a large red diamond, cant remember the name of the app.
If you let them access your computer, they could have installed malware capable of doing anything to your computer. I would run several antimalware scans including Malwarebytes, AdwCleaner and at least a couple of antivirus programs. Those PUPs can be detected by Malwarebytes most of the time. The free version needs to check the file manually. Mark, As noted above, if you have a recent image created before the malware was installed, you can be back in business in maybe minutes.
If you have an image backup, you can be quickly back in business, but if you did anything sensitive like log on to a site with your password, they may have recorded your login information. Try contacting the system admin. What to do to fix the problem? Okay this question will probably be stupid…i was searching on internet and couldnt find the answer. Since english is not my native language would you mind explaing me what is internet carrier bill? Is that like all the websites you accessed you ISP has or?
No idea. It sounds like the paper bill you would get that tells you how much you pay your ISP every month. But I could be wrong. Good article, Leo. Historically, I used to have automatic updates set for all of my Windows computers. My opinion on that changed around the time of Windows Microsoft decided to push Windows 10 onto its Windows 7 and 8 users without their knowledge or consent.
In my opinion it was a flagrant violation of privacy, and a disrespectful way to treat customers. Microsoft hides upgrades and installation packages for things like Windows 10 and OneDrive inside of innocuously named patches called KBxxxxxxx. The average user has no idea what that patch will do to their system. In my opinion Microsoft has become the virus. Trusting automatic updates is no longer the prudent choice it used to be. Sadly the average user can also not know if a specific update is inconsequential, or absolutely required to maintain security.
Oh, how times have changed. Well, not really. But at least many parents today grew up with computers and at least have a little more common sense. My parents were so spooked, that they unplugged the computer we had no modem at the time, so the entire computer , put it in a box, sealed the box with tape, and placed the whole thing in the attic for a month. They were under the hilarious impression that computer viruses were actual living viruses that somehow affected computers.
Thankfully, by around or so, they had learned significantly more. Or both. Lately, i have had some serious doubts that I made the correct decision to do so. I would appreciate some feedback if this is a good program for my win10 pc. Carbonite is a legitimate service. I consider it a great secondary backup in addition to a system image backup.
