Microsoft SCAM Solved
I went to fix a computer from a customer in Erie, Colorado who got scammed from someone that took over their computer on remote access saying they were from Microsoft.
I traced the steps.Very interesting what they did they use the command prompt to put fake commands in saying that hackers were infiltrating your system and they needed to pay money to fix the issue. They said they were from Microsoft and need to fix the problems created by the hackers.
There are no hackers they put fake messages in certain places where you check the system for errors. Here’s a printout of the Windows command prompt with bogus information
People who are not technicians are fooled by this. but this is a command prompt this is not a error screen. That’s why it says it’s an unrecognized command Copying and pasting bogus error information in the command prompt you supposed to only be typing commands People get confused by this who don’t know about computers.
Saying that you must install Microsoft services at $1.54 a piece 198 times for each service. Then they take the credit card information charge your credit card for that and God knows for what else. They also did other things working very fast having the customer do things on the computer to distract your attention and having a lot of pop-up screens. While taking over the computer with remote access.
I was able to undo any damage they caused and get the computer back up and running like before. So in the end I fixed the issue. But people need to call Computer Physicians if they get a problem with their computer so that they don’t cause more issues or problems. This hacker could have done worse if the customer did not call Longmont Computer Physicians to come solve the issue.

Computer Networks in Longmont Denver Erie Colorado Computer Physicians
Networking is one of the jobs that Longmont Computer Physicians, LLC does to help it’s clients. Sometimes it is wireless networks, other times the client wants a wired computer network.
I needed to hard wire an entire house with CAT5e cabling for a client a few months ago for internet and file sharing access. It was a great success! 8 rooms in the house had access to a network cable for computers.
Here are some pictures of the job of the patch cables and routers running into the house and through the walls.

Computer Repair Windows update in Longmont, Boulder, CO
Our Longmont Computer Physicians, LLC office computer had an interesting issue recently I thought I would share:
After an automatic installing of windows 10 update for Valentine’s Day Feb 14, 2018 (KB4074588) my USB keyboard on my desktop computer would no longer work. I tried 3 different USB keyboards – none worked. So I went into device manager to uninstall, reinstall, and update the keyboard drivers. That did not work. So then I uninstalled the windows update. This fixed the problem, but the update would try to install again the next time I reboot. So I set the windows update to never install hardware drivers during the update in (system properties) I would need to choose what driver update I want manually from now on.

Boulder/Longmont Computer Repair – PC with no hard drive used
Longmont Colorado PC Computer not using it’s hard drive:
Computer Physicians, LLC just worked on a unusual situation on a Zotac mini PC computer in Longmont, CO that had a boot windows drive that was filled up. I thought this would be good to share with my readers:
This very small Zotac mini PC computer running Windows 10 home with 4GB of RAM was booting to a 64GB memory chip located on the motherboard and was not using the 300GB internal SATA hard drive. As a result since the Windows OS was on a small 64GB memory chip it quickly got filled to capacity. I backed up the customer’s data to an external hard drive. The internal hard drive was not being used except for the storing of a few small files. I could not clone the 64GB memory chip but was able to transfer the OS using special disk software. I then needed to go into the BIOS and set the boot drive to the internal drive. The computer is running slower now since it is not using the small 64GB memory chip for windows and the CPU and computer itself is an inexpensive under-powered computer which was designed to run on the 64GB memory chip. The problem with this design is that the 64GB memory chip quickly gets filled to capacity. (Windows 10 uses a lot of hard drive memory most systems have 1000GB or more)
I do not like this design and would not recommend this Zotac computer to a client.
The computer will run faster if the original drive is replaced with a solid state drive and if the OS can be transferred and if more RAM memory is installed.
These are some of the situations that Computer Physicians, LLC runs into.

Here is some news about the latest computer viruses out today that Computer Physicians in Longmont/Boulder, CO can help you with:
Technewsworld:
A new ransomware exploit dubbed “Petya” struck major companies and infrastructure sites this July 2017, following last month’s WannaCry ransomware attack, which wreaked havoc on more than 300,000 computers across the globe. Petya is believed to be linked to the same set of hacking tools as WannaCry.
Petya already has taken thousands of computers hostage, impacting companies and installations ranging from Ukraine to the U.S. to India. It has impacted a Ukrainian international airport, and multinational shipping, legal and advertising firms. It has led to the shutdown of radiation monitoring systems at the Chernobyl nuclear facility.
