This is computer blackmail [View all]

Like I'm going to purchase a mac cleaner because I have a pop up trying to get me to click on "start scan now" to get rid of 10,000 problems it has found on my IMac. Nope, I'm happy to pay my guy to get rid of it.

They ought to go to jail for blackmailing me.
