Free Computer Repair? Really !

A few years ago, I had a friend who had a FBI virus, it locks people's computers than ask them for $500 which supposedly is a fine. but the thing is the real FBI will be coming at their doors and not issue a fine on the internet. It took me 1/2 day to take care of the FBI virus, by taking the batteries out of the computer, then putting them back, press the power button then I kept pressing the F8 button until it was in safe mode. 

In safe mode I place the computer in System Restore which sets a computer to an earlier time when it did not have the virus, but however the updates would be old, so were the updates from the anti-virus. So I updated them.

Sometimes you can try restarting your computer, see if it will still work, or we might have no choice but fix it ourselves by going to another computer to see how to fix the damaged computer. That's would probably happen in a repair shop, people using another computer looking for answers to fix it. We could do that ourselves.

Another friend said his files kept disappearing, that was because that friend did not keep with the updates on both his computer and the anti-virus, after updated, I ran a full scan on the anti-virus, and it had found 137 viruses.

Any more computers like Windows 10 and on up, do the updating and scanning on their own, and a person is still able to work on hers/his computer.

If you bought a Windows 10 lately, you would notice that they may have a free trial on a third-party anti-virus, once the trial ends you can pay for the anti-viruses or uninstall the third-party anti-virus. Windows 10 on up have their own free antivirus built in the machine,

 Once a person uninstalls the third-party antivirus, the computer will ask if you want to start Windows Defender click yes but be sure your third-party anti-virus is uninstalled first. Why pay for an antivirus when you don't have to? Unless, of course, you own a big business and want more security, however, the anti-virus that came installed on windows is good enough for homes, or small businesses. (end)
