If you're having computer problems do NOT go to Geek Squad. Those bastards will force you to buy a protection package you don't really need and then, when they figure out what work needs to be done they'll try to charge you extra to actually DO it. Fuckers!!!
P.S. People who write viruses should be hunted down and castrated with rusty knives.....................................................then shot.

Yup... Went in to get a quote to replace my PC cause UPS damaged my computer shipping it. They wanted a quote to replace with comparable model from a known source. The geek weenies said they could take it and tear it down for $50 and tell me. All I wanted was a piece of paper with a quote was that too hard! Yup it was they cannot use pens and right numbers. I even told the dumbass what parts were in it cause I built the freakin thing.

This ain't 'steal somebody's bike' - crime against one person stuff. Think about how many man-hours, data, production, etc. are lost every year to these idiots. Forget shooting them - Hang' um from a lamp post and put a webcam up for the other idiots to watch their buddies rot.... |

Just update your computer, don't open stupid emails, and don't go to places on the net that you wouldn't want your mom to see... ....oh, and don't download stupid stuff. |

agree on the virus writers.
no experience with geek squad. my dad had them come out and help with some tech shit at his office once or twice and had good things to say. Said he got a full on horn-rimmed geek that knew his shit, squared him away and did it at a reasonable cost. Haji Joe is my go-to geek. |

You know, most viruses are written by Virus protect software companies.

The issue is there are more viruses written for Windows because of user percentage. There were a lot of hackers pissed off when mac made the commercial saying they dont get viruses, and you will notice, they pulled it off the air fairly quickly. |

The tool will write and customize a VIRUS that will go through the VIRUS scanners. Whether a trojaned exe, or a pdf with an exploit, they are all VIRUS's. The key is that it is custom obfuscated for you. VIRUS scanners work mainly on scanning for pre-defined code. |

This thread is concentrated computer fail... taking computers to the Geek squad, anti-virus company conspiracy, running to Apple because it's safer...
Perhaps we should stick to talking about guns. |

Heck I build my computer anymore and I can get just about anything I don't want off of it. May take a little while, but I got burned at a computer shop in Oklahoma and at that point I decided to do my own work.
I always start at PCHELL.com. Good place to remember. |

If you run firefox with noscript, and keep your flash and java updated (or uninstall flash and java), then you are pretty safe.
Best trick to clean a PC is to plus the infected drive into a known clean PC (as a non boot drive, obviously) and scan it there, or find some CD-based virus scanners. It's not hard to do it yourself, it just takes time. Keith |
