Thanks,this was bad,huge screen takeover by the hodgimart gang. I called a buddy of mine and he says they kill your computers firewall and than charge you to put it back together. They masquerade as microsoft and it sounds legit until they start talking about how much they are gonna charge you to make it start working again.It’s a shame we don’t have people who could track these a-hollls down.
THAT happened to me. My laptop is still not quite right, but I did have to call Microsoft first, and them Microsoft directed to me to an outfit in Las Vegas that charged me $129 to fix it with a 30 day “call anytime guarantee,” or something like that.
That outfit has called back twice to check, so maybe they’re on the up and up.
