What seems to be the problem for your computer
>>
>>37275852
IT guys will always look through your files so you better fix it yourself.
>>
>>37275852
take out the hardrive.Unless you are into cp or illegal shit then leave it in and enjoy prison
>>
>>37275852
download ccleaner
i should teach a computer basics seminar to people that live out in the middle of nowhere here with me
>>
Just buy a new computer.
>>
For images, videos and whatever: upload to the cloud or an external drive, then erase them from the pc. Either that or encrypt them.
For temporary files and browser cache/history files: >>37275941

it's shutting off by itself because i think it's overheating and needs a new fan installed

>giving your computer to any company to get it fixed
>ever

Anything that stores or companies can / will fix are mostly problems that already have answers a Google search away, and if you need to buy shit are much cheaper than paying someone to do it.

The only time you should pay someone to do anything tech-related is if your hard drive fails and you need to get the data off it, or anything that the end user can't do without specialist equipment / knowledge.

Nigger that shit is piss easy, just buy a new fan and replace it. If it doesn't work then send it back for a refund. Much cheaper than anything Best Buy would charge you for.

If that doesn't work then remove the heatsink and reapply thermal paste. Again easy to do and you'll probably spend like $20 at most, probably way less.

put them in a truecrypt locker. truecrypt was "killed" by its creators when they stopped updating it but you can get it from other sources safely.

truecrype is not secure but nobody at best buy is going to see a 10gb file named "aaaaa" and try to bruteforce it

There's no telling if they'll go through the "marked for overwrite" sections of the drive, but I highly doubt they'd think to do that. I sure as fuck wouldn't, and I know how to check the damned things.

It's pretty much store policy to check for illegal content. They can automatically scan for common files.

How do you think most people get caught for having shit?
>>
>>37275852

They will definitely 100% look through your shit and save whatever they want.

Source: I worked at one of these places. Every single computer was rooted through in this way.

>and save whatever they want.
Really? Explain their process pls.
>>
>>37276141
Enjoy your new budget celeron and shit tier motherboard with crappy new slow ram for $1500 anon. Coz that's probably what you're gonna get.

>It's pretty much store policy to check for illegal content

Wtf, Why?
>>
>>37277330
I don't have illegal content and their scan wouldn't find any "common file" (what are they?) but would they still go through every single one of my 100 000+ files and save what they like?
>>
>>37275852
You don't

>>37275852
Having worked at a place that did this, they will 100% go through your shit and there's not much you can do without wiping the HDD.

Mostly just look through it for keks more than anything else. Really old dudes with weird porn are fucking gold.

Got any stories?

What's so wrong with your computer that you cant fix it yourself?
>>
>>37276215
Veracrypt is the replacement project for Truecrypt, use it instead.
>>
>>37277330

>>
idk, just remove the HDD

Clean the dust off your heatsink, idiot.

Takes like 5 seconds and you just need a few q-tips (those things you stick in your ear with the cloth ends)

I remember one dude had a ton of screenshots from the video where the guy sits on the jar and it breaks in his ass.
I'm talking hundreds of stills from that video.
It really made no sense at all...
He did have a few folders dedicated to porn stars Jenna Haze and someone called Dani Wayword or Woodward (I can't remember).

>>37275900
wow, cp OR illegal shit. you'd better watch out, this woman is taking a hard-line stance on file piracy as she lowkey masturbates to gay shota prison rape yaoi and like, anime dudes being mutilated
>>
IT Support here,

>>
- download truecrypt 7.1a
- create encrypted file container and put in all your special files
- download ccleaner
- do one scrub with the wipe free disk space option on (this will take a while)

do this and you will be fine
