Caveat Emptor (Buyer Beware) with Popup Ads

The Tech Angels of New Rochelle recently received a call from a distraught computer user seeking computer repair. They at first complained that their computer was broken. But then they further explained what happened. While surfing the net, they clicked on a "harmless", or so they thought, video link and suddenly the havoc began. Now they have popups galore and lots of frustration. When a popup ad appeared for assistance cleaning their machine of spyware and antivirus they thought they were doing the right thing and decided to purchase a better online protection system. Well roughly $130 later they realize that the pop up offer was probably not legit and their computer is not any better then before they made the transaction.

Please hear, well okay read, the tech advice of The Tech Angels of New Rochelle. Do not agree to purchase software from a popup ad you receive while in the midst of computer issues. At least have a second set of professional eyes view the popup before agreeing to make a purchase.

Thanks giving on Thanksgiving

The Tech Angels of New Rochelle have a great deal to be thankful for this Thanksgiving. The company began as a merger of two technology minded individuals. A marriage took place this summer. Tech Angel Services (the wife) merged with the expertise and certifications (the husband) to create a more complete online presence. The Tech Angels of New Rochelle was officially formed earlier in November.

Grateful for:
  • Optimum Online, high-speed internet is outstanding
  • Webmistress skills (wife)
  • Expertise (husband)
  • Custom enterprise quad-core computer with 64 bit operating system (built by husband)
  • Open source applications, bringing inexpensive productivity to the masses (tested by the team)
  • Craigslist.com, Olx.com and merchantcircle.com for our beginnings with publicity
  • Networked multifunction printer, the whole team can print from one high-speed printer
  • The irobot, saves us time keeping the workspace clean while busy working
  • Customers, remembering their past relationship with Tech Angel Services and continuing a relationship with The Tech Angels of New Rochelle.
  • Thankful for each other as the company grows.
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
