Capital MAC helped me today!

By
Real Estate Agent 0225218019

I posted a blog yesterday about the nightmarish problems I was having with my computer, specifically my email.

 

I went to Capital MAC today and told the owner how I was bombarded with hundreds of emails immediately after uploading my photos to Icloud.  She explained that the phishing scam most likely happened while I was uploading the photos but didn't show up until afterwards because the  computer was "busy" uploading the photos. 

 

She also explained that if I use the mail app on my MAC to access my gmail, there is an extra layer of protection.

 

I have changed my passwords and my firewall and malware protection are in place so hopefully everything is fine now!

Sybil Campbell We knew you are a smart 'cookie' and this post exposing you as a Mac owner confirms that fact. We, too, love our Mac over our PCs!
