Don’t Get Scammed!

I had another client get scammed last week by the “Microsoft noticed that your computer has a virus and we want to help” message that commandeers your computer.

MICROSOFT NEVER EVER CONTACTS YOU ABOUT A VIRUS OR PROBLEM
WITH YOUR COMPUTER! NEVER.

Do not call the number given in the message! Do not let unknown persons remotely access your computer. Do not give unknown persons your credit card info.

If you are ever in doubt, call me or text me at 480-433-9995 for help.

Or take these steps to get out of the lock.

Try to close your browser completely.

If that doesn’t work, hit Ctrl+Alt+Del to open your Task Manager and force the browser to close.
If that doesn’t work, power off the computer. Hold the power button down several seconds until it forces a shut down.

Unplug your modem. Then restart the computer. If the message shows up again, try to close it again. There is no Internet connection so it can’t do any harm at this point.

Shut down the computer again. Re-plug the modem. Turn on the computer. Open your browser.
If you see the message again, call one of my hardware referrals. Let them clean up the problem.
If you don’t see the message, say a gratitude prayer!

Select Text Short Cuts in Microsoft Word

Here are some quick short cuts that you can use when selecting text which sometimes can prove to be difficult as you try to end your selection exactly where you would like.
  • Triple click anywhere inside your paragraph and the whole paragraph will be highlighted.
  • If you just need a sentence highlighted, hold the CTRL key and single click anywhere in the sentence.
  • If you need a single word selected, double click on that word.

For some reason, it is easier to select manually if you start at the end of the word, sentence or paragraph instead of at the beginning.  Just saying… I make selections hundreds of times a day.

These short cuts will work in 95% of all software you use, not just Word.
