This afternoon I got a call from a company "ProComSupport247". This corporation is a scam. They call people claiming that there is a virus or other problems with their computer, and they are going to fix it for almost $300 dollars. They take over your computer via a screen sharing service, and will show you things on your computer which aren't problems, but to the uneducated computer user, may seem so. For more information on these scams, you can leave questions in the comments and I'll answer, or you can look at this website:

  1. Update: If the camera work bothers you, which I could understand, then don’t watch it. Pestering me in the comments about it is a waste of time won’t do anything about it anyways.
