Recalled a few months 11/21/2016 later called again to check and said there were more problems and I needed to install $4000 more security. Called again to check all was running 1/16/2017 a message came up on the notebook window THEY had opened saying "You have been [censored]d. You have been hacked. Get your credit card I'ts going to cost you $50,000". I was on the phone at the time with Paul Smith I closed the window signed off the connection I had with them; Mr Smith said I needed $5000, worth of programs to stop this. I paid it with echeck. The next day (today) I checked with Best Buy's Geek Squad as I had bought a new computer a few months ago and had support with them as a result of my purchase; they said it was a scam, and are to be out to check over the two computer I had. I went to the bank and stopped payment on the check for $5000 the other $12000 I had already paid I could do nothing about. Paul Smith called called to get back on the computer and I had advised him of my feelings I was a victim of their scam, I had stopped the last payment and to not contact me any more and I had reported it to the BBB.
