Thanks, Jeff,

I ran the PowerShell app and it confirmed it safe. I can’t find my (Win10) digital signature results since a couple days ago when MS installed an update. I’m not a guru anymore so I may have had a drop in my octogenarian brain capacity since a week ago, but I know for sure that when I did the taskmanager process back then, it showed a blank in the digital signature field.

Here are the answers from PowerShell:

Unfortunately…. I think quite possibly yes. :)

Perhaps it was an Android phone being used to charge an iPhone..? Either way, as it stands today, only the iPhone 15 with its USB-C port can be used to charge other devices. I have the iPhone 15 Pro and it’s been great. With its cable, I can use it as a great charging brick. Very handy when you’re in a tight pinch!

Hmm… That’s odd. Are you still able to do it with a lighting cable?

Glad we could help, Teodor!

Hi Ralph,

The biggest concern would be if you had real-time protection enabled in both. That would use up system resources and slow your computer down. Since MalwareBytes is typically used as-needed, you’re probably fine.

Thanks for reading!

Yep, sounds like it. I think that was their biggest seller, anyways.

Well… for the record, I just went through a few images and we had the Black and Brown Atari. SO yeah, probably the 2600 also…

The fact that they’re spoofing Apple’s customer support number is the real gotcha here. Remember: Apple will never call you out of the blue for a password issue, just like your bank won’t.

Just goes to show — don’t trust anyone who calls you. Hang up and call them back after validating the callback number. Just one takeaway.

There doesn’t appear to be a fix for this yet. Keep us updated on that.

I had an Atari 2600, but not the 400/800. At school, though, we had a couple of Atari 800s that I got to play around with and start developing my love for all things computers :-)

And yes, Sears…that Christmas catalog was one of our favorite things growing up. My brother and sisters and I would spend hours poring over that thing!

If you see anything we missed, let me know.

I remember riding my bike every day to our local Sears to check if the game Defender had arrived.

The crazy part is, I have no idea why my parents bought that first Atari for us kids. They both hated video games. Anyway, grat memories.

Hey Ron,

It’s very unusual for that file not to have a digital signature at all. Let’s try to figure out what might be happening.

Could you run this command in PowerShell and let us know the output?

Get-AuthenticodeSignature -FilePath C:\Windows\System32\AggregatorHost.exe | Format-List

Thanks!

Thank you for the tutorial. I got to the last step where i select open roblox with wine windows program and it says installing, it gets stuck at the very end and does not complete. I opened system monitor end tast and rebooted the pc, i tried again and i select open roblox with wine, again butthis time the install completed but did nothing, it was like a silent failure, it just did not give me additional options and no roblox play appeared on the desktop. I am running linux mint version 21. any ideas thank you.

So please tell us if you have a step-by-step way to determine and then execute the non-digital signed program if it is not legit.

I am using Win10 in a perfectly good Dell XPS only because Microsoft designed my hardware out.

Sorry if this comes over as sarcastic comments = it is not intended, but expresses my so-far four-hour diving into the weeds search with nothing but bushes to whack again. Bless you all for trying to help.
