Are you serious or was that a joke?

Did they ask anything about the type of malware?

Not a joke at all GS...

They were scammed by one of those Microsoft Technicians that dropped a bunch of stuff in their system (and the guy paid)

* Scammer used an RMM remote client.
* Also left an endpoint security client on the system.

That meant that he could monitor, and have full control of the system....

I can only guess that it was because the computer would not boot at all and they didn't know how to repair an MBR... I ended up getting over 6GB of temp files and 158 malicious files out of it...

Yeah I see that alot also. Techs want to take the easy way out of things nowadays.
