    Same reason why my wife's stepmom installed and pays for the stupid PC matic. The only ones who feel all warm and fuzzy about this garbage software, is the one with their hands in your wallet.

    Microsoft needs to Blacklist and not allow this garbage software to even be installed. I never let anyone else touch my machines.
    That stuff is junk but given how much it's advertised on say, CNN, I'm not shocked that they get people on the hook.

    They use scare tactics and lots of untruths.. but heck. It's the American way I guess.

    Here you see what happens when you let people use a computer that have no idea what a computer is.

    Of course my wife's stepmom watches Faux. So she gets sucked into these scam software commercials, along with Lifelock, when there is a better option than LL.

    Once a year, I spend two days fixing her machine.

    The good thing is that we can educate people, by getting on the Microsoft Facebook page and pull them in over here, to help them, without them paying someone to fix the mistakes made.
