I did get rid of it after a little tweaking. The scareware was
called XP Security 2012. Either that or a phony rendition of a
of the real thing. Not sure.

That’s just not true, because we can do the same things remotely that you can do on site. As long as the issue is software driven, which 90% are, you can repair them remotely, it just depends on the quality and knowledge of the tech and the tools he has to fix the issue.

I still belive that online remote help is only band-aiding or sugar coating some issues.

This is a tough one to remove! There are many variants on it too just like other rogue antivirus software.

Hey Kyle – I definitely agree with all of this. Even though people hate that update icon popping up and asking them to install updates, it’s a necessary interruption!
