asked on

turbotax on windows

my client wants to get turbotax (a united states tax program)

turbotax premium is hundreds of dollars

my client is suggesting getting from peer 2 peer sharing program

my client thinks it is the actual .exe file with just a keygen to get past the signin

Can i explain to my client that his private important tax information can be uploaded and saved by the "bad guys"

Can i explain to my client that the .exe file could be infected

Only way I can describe is a 3 day course on "viruses".
I dont even know the answer which is why I would do a long 3 day course explaining "viruses" or "maleware" from the beginning with no end to this question and no answer

please dont tell me to download a bad file and scan it with antivirus

Do NOT obtain from any source except Intuit. They do NOT distribute their software this way (I am an Intuit Pro Advisor) and using bogus sources will cause problems

What problems?


Frightening them with stories about viruses and data theft is ignoring the issue.
Every hour working with this client feels like a job interview. If I dont have a scary story then I dont know about security and boss will want to hire another worker.
