Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS sma question

2018-06-09 Thread Kurt Miller
I would also have him check with VFO because my SMA ran out with 18. When I
called about getting one for 2018, they told me that I had to buy the
current version of 2018 and an SMA for 2019 and 2020. This was going to cost
me over $400, so he will definitely have to see what his situation is with
them.

Re: [JAWS-Users] calling from windows trashed computer

2018-06-09 Thread Angel238
A few months ago, the city of Atlanta Georgia had its computer system high 
jacked that same way.  The scammers said they would release the cities 
computers for 50 thousand dollars.  Which would have been less expensive 
than having the system restored by legitimate means.  The city didn't pay 
the scammers, however.  They suffered much inconvenience, however.  It makes 
us mere private citizens feel better.  Knowing, this sort of thing can even 
happen to large cities.

Hey.

I'm familiar with this scam. Unless it's a different variant, what they
actually installed was Team Viewer. This is a legitimate programme made by
Microsoft which is often used in IT or support environments. However, it
allows a person to have remote access and control the host computer. So
theoretically, they could have done a lot of things once Team Viewer was 
up

and running. I would definitely boot into safe mode, and examine startup
items using msconfig or some similar programme to see if Team Viewer or 
any

other unwanted programmes are activating automatically at startup. As for
trashed files, let's hope your friend has a backup. The fake technician
could have just deleted stuff out of spite if the person refused to give 
his
credit card information; they have been known to do this. There's a video 
on
youtube of a guy fooling them by using a virtual machine. It's pretty 
funny,
so long as you yourself werent' scammed, but it illustrates how these 
people

usually operate.

It's hard to believe that people are really taken in by this, but I guess
your friend is a sobering example of how this can happen.

This sounds like the ransom virus software that has been going around for
the past couple of years. The people who are running this evil software take
control of your computer operating system and will not release it until you
have paid a ransom. Often the thieves want you to pay in bitcoin. This is
very hard to overcome. This evil software has hit many industrial computers
including government offices, hospitals and banks. It is a shame that this
sort of thing continues. I think that the only way to defeat it once it is
on your computer is to completely reformat the disk and re load the
software. Backing up  your,  software and data,  offline before the attack
may be the best and, maybe the only, defense. A shame.

Hello lenny, have you tried system restore? If push comes to shove
you can always re install windows.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] calling from windows trashed computer

A friend had his computer trashed by the calling from windows scam. He was
not thinking when they directed him to the event viewer to show him
problems. They installed some trash software that he must pay them to
remove. He quickly turned off his computer while screaming at them. Is there
any removal tool that I can use to clean his machine?

I know that someone remotely installed the trash software, but this is a
perfect time to teach how to create a restore point. I create a new one even
when I am installing trusted software, but certainly if it is a program that
is new to me. 
Good luck and the computer's owner should report this to the better business
bureau. If the person is on any user lists like this one, not a bad idea to
post information about the scam.
Good luck to you both,
Rick

Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS sma question

2018-06-09 Thread Mike B.
Hi Russ,

Yes your friend should be able to upgrade to J2018 with no problems, but, 
he'll have to pay full price for the SMA being he didn't buy the upgrade SMA 
prior to January 1 of this year.  On the other hand, if he purchases the SMA 
it'll be good for both J2018 & J2019.  To be absolutely sure of his options 
he should call call them ath number below to make sure of his choices.
FS / VFO Sales phone#:  1-800-444-4443.
Take Care.  Mike.  Go Dodgers!

Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS sma question

2018-06-09 Thread Adrian Spratt
Ask VFO, but I believe the condition is that the SMA be bought within two years 
of the previous SMA or JAWS purchase. Having JAWS 18 implies this criterion is 
met. But I may be overlooking something.
