Stop robo phone calls with free solutions from AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile and Sprint. For iPhone and Android. IOS13 on the iPhone also has a block feature... but it sends every caller that is NOT in your contacts to voicemail. #ctutor

MICROSOFT will never call or POP UP on your computer with a legitimate problem & phone number to call. These are scams. If it's a phone call, hang up. If it's a pop up, CLOSE your browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome); if you can't close the browser, shutoff the computer.

If you are a Firefox fan, Firefox Quantum browser was pushed to users today. Don't panic, you didn't cause the change, nor do you have a choice. Some Add-ons won't work. It is different... a better FOX? Time will tell. #ctutor
