This is a story of a scam artist who messed up someone's desktop computer that I know.
A man said he received a phone call where the person offered to fix his Windows registry for free. He allowed this person to make a remote connection into his computer. After looking at his system the scam artist said he found some problems and could fix them for $200.
The man responded you said this was free and he then told him to get out of his computer and he did not pay this thief anything. He then said after this incident the computer began perform very strangely.
He had me come over and look at his system. I saw an error that said paraphrased: Windows Explorer has ceased to function correctly.
I think all of you on these forums know better than to let a stranger that you did not call for help into your system. I told him I would help him get his system back up and running.
