THREAT RADAR STATUS: HIGH Updated Oct 26, 2026

Active Local Threat: A ransomware group called SafePay has hit more than 600 businesses and critical services, and federal agencies issued a fresh warning on October 21. The group breaks in with stolen or guessed passwords and unpatched VPN and firewall gear, steals files, locks systems, deletes backups, and sometimes calls victims directly to demand payment.

Do not reuse passwords or skip VPN and firewall updates β€” turn on multi-factor authentication everywhere and keep one backup copy offline!

FAQ

Questions? Good. We like those.

Do you really fix computers remotely?

Yes β€” most software issues, tune-ups, virus removals, and settings problems are fixed in a single remote session. You watch everything we do on your screen, and you can end the session any time.

How much will it cost?

A remote diagnostic is a flat $80. Before any repair work begins, you approve a flat-rate quote β€” we never bill by the hour, and there are no surprise add-ons. Many clients choose Unlimited Remote Support at $60/month instead.

Do I have to bring my computer to you?

Usually not β€” most fixes happen remotely while you relax at home. If it’s a hardware problem, just drop it off at our Rockport shop, 9 Whistlestop Mall, and we’ll take it from there. We don’t do in-home visits β€” between remote magic and easy drop-off, you’re covered. Text 781-507-1606 and we’ll work out the easiest option.

Do you work with businesses?

Yes β€” managed IT and priority support plans for North Shore businesses, including monthly care plans sized to your team. Text 781-507-1606 for a custom quote.

πŸ›‘οΈ Windows 11 Support Checker

Windows 11 version 24H2 reached the end of support on October 13, 2026. PCs still on 24H2 no longer get monthly security updates. Check yours in about 30 seconds:

How to find your version (tap to open)
  1. Click Start, then the Settings gear βš™οΈ
  2. Click System
  3. Scroll down and click About
  4. Under "Windows specifications," look at Version β€” it will say 24H2, 25H2, or 26H2

What does your Version say?

⚠️ Your PC is out of support β€” but the fix is quick. Version 24H2 (Home and Pro) stopped receiving monthly security updates on October 13, 2026. The good news: moving up is a small "enablement package" update, not a big reinstall.
  • Open Settings β†’ Windows Update
  • Click Check for updates
  • Install the feature update to 25H2 (supported to October 12, 2027) or 26H2 (supported to October 10, 2028) if it's offered
  • Restart once when it asks β€” you're protected again
βœ… You're covered. Version 25H2 is supported until October 12, 2027, and you're still getting monthly security updates. When Windows Update offers the small 26H2 enablement package, installing it (plus one restart) extends your support to October 10, 2028.
βœ… You're on the latest β€” fully covered. Version 26H2 is supported until October 10, 2028. Just keep Windows Update turned on and you're all set.
Let's figure yours out. If you see 23H2 or anything older, that version is also out of support β€” open Settings β†’ Windows Update and install every update offered, then check your version again. If you're still on Windows 10, or no update appears, we can walk you through your options.

Want a hand with the update? The Wizard can help, remote or at our Rockport shop.
