A friend of mine got locked out of her pc and at the same time the phone rings. The guys says he works for Microsoft and wanted $200 to unlock her pc. Wanted her credit card number. She called me instead and I reloaded the hidden partition thus wiping out his lockout program. Another friend had his yahoo account hacked. Seems to be an uptick with this kind of thing.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 28870983 I got customer with this problem im going to wipe it tomorow. Is it XP? After reloading the hidden partition I went to MS update but update wouldn't work. I had to download service pack 3 from my laptop and load it on hers. Then update would work.... Why not just install a linux distro? Mint and Ubuntu are pretty user friendly. she likes XP
