![]() The money was not a problem, (although $600.00 additional for a $27 program does appear to be extremely excessive), but they were so persistent, and so incredibly pushy that I eventually had to turn my computer off to shut them down. ![]() Then he connected me with his "supervisor" or "manager" at a company called TechLiveConnect that appeared to be in India, and when this "supervisor/mannager" got on line with me, they proceeded to try selling me additional "necessary" software for another $300.00. ![]() However, when he got into my computer, he burrowed around in it, and informed me that I had 10 problems that were slowing it down, and that he could fix them for $30.00 each. Apparently one of your students accessed my home computer today using the remote access capability under the pretext that he was going to activate a program for Auslogics Software in Sydney, Australia (they have 15,000,000 customers). Pardon me if I'm not addressing the right person, but I'm trying to determine if your UIS.edu remote access system can be used for commercial purposes. Why would an University in Illinois sponsor the activation of programs by an Australian company when all the work and charges would be going to TechLiveConnect which appears to be in India and the payments are going through Avangate in the Netherlands? Does not make sense?Īnyway following is a message that I wrote to the Univ of Illinois: However later, I HAD to write to the University of Illinois at Springfield to question this transaction. Turned out his remote access program was UIS.edu which I did not give it much thought at the time. I figured if it's from Auslogics that has 15,000,000 customers, what could go wrong? Did so and the tech rep wanted to "remote enter into my computer to do so". Bought a program from Auslogics and they sent e-mail for me to call a number to activate the program.
