       Please talk to your (extended) family about refund/cancellation scams. They start with an email saying something like "Your Geek Squad/Norton/McAfee subscription is renewing", with instructions to call a phone number to "cancel" or "refund" the amount. After calling, they will be told to install tool that gives the scammer complete control of the computer. Then they will be asked to buy gift cards to give to the scammer. I'm currently running a recovery operation because a family friend fell for this scam, and then took their laptop to Microcenter for "virus removal", which meant a reinstall of Windows over their personal data. It's always so much easier if they don't fall for it in the first place. Be sure those in your life know: They can call/text you with questions if they're ever unsure.

       @r000t I started formatting my relatives computers with Linux mint since they were coming to me for virus removal so often. They don’t bother me as much anymore.
