Interference! Keep cordless phones away from your Wi-Fi router. They use the same frequency and can degrade each other. If your TV/Cable remote has problems controlling things, check for compact fluorescent bulbs nearby. They produce large amounts of infra-red light and blind remote sensors.

If you see a window pop up with virus warnings and a voice telling you to call a number, do NOT call it! It is an expensive mistake. It claims to be from Microsoft, but they do not contact people that way. Clean your system or call BYTEtweaker to do it for you. Please pass this on.

Warning! Phone Spoofing and Computer Hijacking in Pulaski!

We are hearing of several people in Giles County that are getting phone calls from a KNOWN number, but NOT the actual caller. This is called "Spoofing" and is easily done with an app. It is legal, provided it is not used to defraud someone. For instance, a doctor or vet could call from his cell phone and show his office caller ID. This is legal. Beware of fraud though.

Users are seeing a popup screen that says "Contact PES Energize Technical Support at:###-###-###X." PES does not do this. It is a scam to lock your computer and hold it for ransom. DO NOT CALL THE NUMBER! Either clean the system with Malwarebytes or contact BYTEtweaker to clean your system. 931-922-BYTE
