USINFO Solutions contacted me 10/23/15 to tell me that they saw different errors on my computer and they could "fix" them for a charge of $599.00. Stupidly I left them do it. I didn’t know of any issues until an India man from Microsoft called me to say he saw errors in my computer. I wouldn’t let him have access and I said I would have the company I trust to solve my pc issues to check into it. I then called that trusted company and he showed me LOTS and LOTS of errors, virus protection shut off, and you get the picture. USIFO Solutions did not "correct any issues" but rather created more for me.

Free game, Hearts, it was an ad pop up saying the firewall was unprotected and someone was in the computer. Was given a number to call for tech support, 1-877-552-9914. Then was given a 1-800-343-3803 if there are any future problems. The cursor was moving around and he was moving files, unsure of everything he was doing. $199.00 for 1-year warranty paid by a "check on the screen" where victim entered personal info.
