Our Remote PC Support team has been fielding lots of calls from customers asking what is known as “scareware.” Designed to scare you into action, these real-looking popup windows “warn” you about security vulnerabilities and urge you to call a 1-800 number for help. The thing is, it’s a scam—these popups (see above and below) are NOT from TDS.

Cheap Tunes Tuesday: Bad Company

by on January 19, 2016 1 comment
Supergroups tend to be an amazing idea on paper, but once the music hits the airwaves, they don’t live up to the hype. Today’s band was certainly legit, but they don’t perhaps get the recognition they deserve. With over 20 million albums sold worldwide, it’s a bit surprising they aren’t more of a household name.

Cheap Tunes Tuesday: Badfinger

Don't be scared off by the hair! Badfinger, a group signed to the Beatles' own label, created some awesome music but never seemed to get the recognition they deserved...until now. For five bucks you can give their sound a whirl—and you won't be disappointed. The top three tracks stack up to anything Lennon or McCartney put out.

Even if you ARE a Star Wars fan, you could be experiencing what my husband is calling “Star Wars fatigue.” If you’re burnt out, simply don’t give a crap about Star Wars, didn’t buy your tickets for Friday’s release a month ago, or you simply plan on waiting until the theaters will be less packed (you know, in March or April), you might be looking for a bit of a distraction this weekend. As it happens, I’ve got some ideas for you :-):

Cheap Tunes Tuesday: Soundgarden

by on December 15, 2015 2 comments
You could probably make a list of bands who benefited from the Nirvana grunge revolution, and Soundgarden would certainly be one of them. They started with a small cult following, were then “discovered” by the masses, and produced one of the best albums of the ‘90s—Superunknown. Today that top-selling, and still awesome, album can be yours for $5.
