[QUOTE="seniorciz mike, post: 1662071"] [b]NTS IT Care[/b] Well, here is a new "old guy" on the block. It seems I have fallen for the same old line. I am not a techie by any means, but I do manage to get by for my age. My iMac is early 2008, but is up to date. Lately, my computer was becoming very slow with numerous pop up ads. The same old story - message pops up with the Safari logo saying my system was locked down due to a Trojan Horse virus and if you call this number 1-855-789-6633 we can fix it for you. Well, I called and for a one time fee of $69 US, they said that they would fix it for me. I gave them permission, they took control and fixed it - I thought. Seemed everything was working fine as before. Now I try to open iTunes and some others and I can not. Messages appear like "iTunes can’t verify the identity of the server 'init.itunes.apple.com'". Not just iTunes, but others. What is going on and what do I do to correct this mess? [/QUOTE]
