Does anyone know if there is a connection between Web Byte Software and Microsoft?  I was recently hacked and am just not confident that the resolution was truly from Microsoft personnel as I has told.  In any event I believe I'm now safe.  I was encouraged to buy a "Microsoft" security plan which would cover the computer I have now or any other I might get in the future.

 

Just never know these days when things are a fraud.

Sorry, I have never heard of Web Byte Software- nor of Microsoft selling security software. Windows Defender Security software is provided free by MS.
