What do you say? Of late I’ve had three firms want to “join” me on my computer, I accept in order to try and solve the problems….not long ago I actually became a good friend (if there is such a thing on line) with a man from India…The new Adobe Acrobat DC is a great program…however the scanning feature is noting to write home about….and there were several outdated files from various version of Acrobat…
So my friend from India was inside my Mac for a long while, on several occasions…I was sweating….can I really trust this guy…is he putting a file or two on my machine that allows him or Adobe to follow me? Harm? Then today when I tried to update the maps on the Garmin the download was 6 gig and I only had a 4 gig card…Visited Best Buy and now the devise had 16 gig…and it will would not load. I started a chat which evolved to a phone call, evolving to once again a program loaded to allow Garmin into my machine… I watched this man go everywhere, even into Terminal where he wrote items I had no clue. Finally a call saying I had firmware that needed to be updated so the maps would load….it was only going to cost me $49.00 and good for the life of this devise… All went well, lasting an hour…all the while I wondered what the heck was going on that I didn’t understand. This has been the case with another firm as well. Question….am I losing my mind by allowing these firms into my machine? What do you think? How would you handle the same? How do you correct the problems that you can’t solve and they only offer working on your machine themselves? If it’s a well known firm such as Adobe or Garmin can they be trusted? This procedure seems to be a method more and more firms are using….should I just take a Valium and not worry? Thanks for your thoughts and suggestions. John
