Windows
10:
Setup, Training and Solutions...
New computers are now being shipped with Windows 10 and let's just
say that it's different than what you are used to. Things are
different than Windows 7 and it begins when you first turn on a
brand new computer and select "Use Recommended Settings" instead of
"Customized Settings".
If you want your new
Windows 10 operating system to look and behave more like Windows 7,
not divulge information of you and your contacts
with Microsoft, then call me before you even open the box. And
it
doesn't have to be new - I can do the same with Windows 10 systems
that are already set up.

my Windows 10 page.

Fake Warnings on the Web:
Don't be
fooled, don't call the
number....
These are everywhere and they are tricks! Do not ever let anyone you don't know take
remote control of your
computer.The new
technique is to scare the user with a fake warning screen in the
Internet, the person gains the user's trust in
order to allow them access, and they quickly use a built-in Windows encryption
utility to lock the computer. When the user finally suspects a
scam and hangs up, they later discover they have been locked out of
their computer the first time the computer is restarted.
As actual viruses in the wild are on the decline, Internet trickery
is on the rise. If you see a full-screen pop-up with a phone
number on it, IT IS A TRICK. Do not call the number.

Comprehensive Computer Services
A-Tec offers
reasonably-priced solutions to a multitude of computing and technology
issues. I have a creative can-do attitude but at the same time, I
can also see the last domino fall and will recognize early on when a
repair may involve more money than the issue is worth.
My diagnosis is free (less
travel) and I realize that this policy does not always generate
immediate business, but my strong business ethic is to honestly advise
potential customers based on what I would do if it were my issue.
Sometimes it's better to cut your losses and NOT repair a computer.
I will give you some possible repair options and then advise you on what I
would do.
Virus / malware removal is
a specialty
Expert malware / virus removal
including the FBI Virus.
PLEASE do not purchase a money card as instructed by this malware variant -
you will lose your money. Call me instead.
Malware infections
typically begin
online with fake warning pop-ups followed by fake virus scanning
windows. Interacting with either can cause the installation of malicious files and system
changes that bring automatic web page redirects, more false virus
warnings, loss of Internet connection, etc..
Before
attempting to repair a malware infection on your own,
please read this warning note. I use my own systematic technique
which succeeds without data loss, file damage or system changes where
others may tell you a reformat/reinstall is necessary. I can
usually completely reverse even the worst infection during a house-call which is
the same rate as a pickup & return.
