help, whats on "The compufixers" disc?
My granny had a phone call telling her she had bugs etc on her computer and she should buy a security package, £273 for 2 years with a free year thrown in. She bought it. This was the 3rd time in about 2 months that she had been scammed. "The Compufixers sent her a disc for Bullguards security Gamers Edition (she's 75) and another disc, which was clearly a blank cd with a compufixers disc sticker on it, not proffessional at all. i have inserted the disc into muy old laptop. It has 3 files on it which are:
a pic of a file called nf and underneath says file folder
a pic of a page and a cog which says autotun setup information 49 bytes
a pic of blank page with firefox logo which says index Firefox document 1.02 KB
Do you know what these files are or are they completely useless rubbish?
I need to give all this info to her credit card company to get her money back
pulsar - the bullguards disc was a free gift it was the other useless disc that cost as well as their help if she ever has a problem but she couldnt get hold of them again, they all have indian accents but very english names. the credit card company said the money was taken by "Hireridge Ltd", I googles them and they are based in Limerick. Another company similar to compufixers and linked to Hireridge is support4pcs.co.uk but if you google them there is a lot of "bad press" so i assume "compufixers is the new name and website as people had got wise to support4pcs.

Completely Useless Rubbish Indeed :)
"This was the 3rd time in about 2 months that she had been scammed"
I Think you should talk her into getting a new Phone Number..
They will Keep Calling and no offence but 3 times.. Wow they must love her.
Change her Number, Remove the Damn Phone if need be lol
Reporting it to the Police is an Option but Dont expect a solution from it.
I'd Just Seek Reimbursement and Learn my Lesson.
Hope it helps :)

There is lots of these scams going around at the moment. DO NOT RUN anything on the CD. Report it to police and seek advice from the CAB.
