i have read all the reviews above..... i purchased the gooseberry $200 program 3 weeks ago.... my computer was having major problems before a virus program came in and did hide my programs.. i did get a call from stacey white from gooseberry ... i was leery at the time she called but i was in dire need of my computer.. and the place where i bought the puter didnt have any idea how to fix it... so i was at the mercy of gooseberry... long story short.. they did remove whatever was wrong and it works like a new one... so at the moment. i am totally satisfied... if that should change.. i will report it... eldon hamm
Same thing happened to me. I go the virus off mostly with hitman pro and malwarebytes followed by unhidenonsystemfiles from Tweeking.com. Took me two solid days to get it gone.
The day after I got infected I got a call from 510-768-8583 asking "how is your computer? Is it working?"
They wouldn't tell me where they were but they said they were "from Gooseberry". She kept asking my name so I made one up. I asked again what city they are in as she said they were in California. She would not give me the city unless I told her my name, address, and credit card number. Of course i would not give it to her so she would not tell me what city they are in.
State of CA attorney general would like to know though!
You're full of [***] Roger, and you're just using this forum to re-pitch your scam and claim innocence. I have a friend I can't skype with right now because his computer is infected, and like others here he received a call from Gooseberry that they knew he was infected and if he paid 199 they'd clean it for him. He's not stupid, he asked how they knew his computer was infected and got no clear reply, just a repeat of your noxious sales pitch. apparently your planted virus CAN be removed by legitimate companies but I told him just to go back to where he bought it, have it reformatted and install LINUX/Ubuntu.
I hope you do hard time for this Roger, all of us do here. And you deserve it. You're just lucky the law will find you before other people do....
I have a labtop computer with dell....one night I was having issues and came across this number who wanted to charge over 150.00 and said dell would tell me the same thing as i had taken hardware waranty but didnt include viruses. Well I hung up because i wanted to hear what dell had to say...Thank God I did!!!!! Not only did they repair it for free, they gave me a direct number for the technician should I have any more issues in the future and reapired it for free since it was a fairly new purchase. This number has been calling me ever since and trying to convoince me I had "worms" and that Microsoft is hiding its programs.....ifI was a dummy I would have probably fell for this. DON'T FALL FOR THIS ABSOLOUTE BOGUS COMPANY....ALL THEY WANT IS TO CHARGE YOU FOR SOMETHING YOU DO NOT EVEN HAVE PROBLEMS WITH. THE OWNER MUST HAVE NO ETHICS OR PRINCIPLES STEALING FROM HONEST PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
