Computer locker virus masquerading as Windows 10 link
We are seeing the link to download Windows 10 upgrade. But the dreaded ramsomware computer locker virus is also out there masquerading as the link. You et the email,you click the link, and an ever nastier version of the locker virus has taken control of your computer
Please be sure about any link you get about Windows 10
I live in a farming community about 60 miles east of San Diego, we only have Verizon out here capped at 5GB, this thing started downloading this morning without my consent how do i stop it or slow it down and slowly load it over 4-6 weeks. Got MS tech support they said all I could do was drive 60 miles to a McDonalds and use their WIFI. Really need help now!

You can try and disable auto updates it stopped Win 10 for me until I chose to DL it.
I just switched to "check for updates and let me decide to download and update" That may have worked. I have already learned that there is already prepared 1.1GB patch for win 10 coming 1 October.
Again Techeeee thank you, that seems to be working. I rollover my usage tonight, I got about 1.5GB of it downloaded today, will wait till Tuesday and open it up to download more by changing the setting back (if that is how it works) I am getting local complaints that the overage charges are around $1200
LOL...the icon is suddenly back on my desk top computer again. It's like magic.
Back on mine also this AM.
