“Linux PC Repair”

Clicked on one of those “You may need to fix Windows errors” ad links, just for fun. Took me to a page that says “System Information: Your machine is currently running: Linux. Reimage PC Repair is compatible with your operating system”. And there is a link to download an .exe file... And on the rest of the page: “Designed for: Windows XP, Vista , 7 , 8 , 8.1 & 10”, “Using Microsoft Technologies”, “McAfee Secure”, “Norton Secured”, blah-blah-blah...

If you install WINE you may be able to get the .exe to run. ...but there will probably be some .dll's missing and the app will crash. E-mail them for a link to the source code for the .exe and go through it to work out what .dll's you need. That shouldn't be too much problem and after a couple of months of research you should have it running OK ;-) Good luck! Ian.

Sounds legit. Don't worry if you have any problems, I'm sure someone from Windows Tech Support will phone you soon enough and offer to help out! butting
