Hello all,
For those who havent been following them, or reading the tech news, TheNerdSupport (.com) is a SCAREWARE SCAM!!! Do not subscribe to their service. If you have, uninstall their spyware/remote control app, install REAL Anti-Virus software (AVG, McAfee, Norton) and a full anti-spyware suite (if you dont get the full packages of the others). Do a FULL AND THOROUGH scan of your machine. Change your online account passwords. If you use your credit cards via the computer, you may also wish to monitor or change them.
