Had a virus on my computer yesterday the 7th of Nov. Had to contact tech support and had to renew another year of support for $143 before I talked to support. A tech by the name of Dan was assigned to fix my computer. After about 2 hours or so he said he was done. But he is a far cry from being so. I have had a tech work on my computer in the past with NO problems. But this time for some reason I lost my internet connection and cant’ get it back. Plus I lost the ability to open several other programs. The big loss is my genealogy file containing over 15 different files and photos and over 20 plus years of work. Due to the fact that I can’t even get online there is no way of contacting tech support and them getting back online to fix it now. I am open for any and ALL suggestions as to how to handle this. I dare say I am wondering if in fact he did get the virus deleted as he said. Since the internet was working until he rebooted the computer when he was done. That is when the ability to get online ended.
Not that you should have lost your work, but…
You have decades of effort into something and have been making no backups?
You might want to check into starting to do so.
