The following constitutes Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13D filed by the undersigned (“Amendment No. 1”). This Amendment No. 1 amends the Schedule 13D as specifically set forth herein.

Item 3.
Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
 
Item 3 is hereby amended and restated to read as follows:
 
The Shares purchased by Vertex Opportunities were purchased with working capital (which may, at any given time, include margin loans made by brokerage firms in the ordinary course of business) in open market purchases, except as otherwise noted. The aggregate purchase price of the 2,569,184 Shares beneficially owned by Vertex Opportunities is approximately $2,832,592, excluding brokerage commissions.
 
The Shares purchased by BLR Partners were purchased with working capital (which may, at any given time, include margin loans made by brokerage firms in the ordinary course of business) in open market purchases, except as otherwise noted.   The aggregate purchase price of the 3,419,729 Shares owned directly by BLR Partners is approximately $4,181,919, including brokerage commissions.
 
The Shares directly owned by Mr. Radoff were purchased with personal funds (which may, at any given time, include margin loans made by brokerage firms in the ordinary course of business) in open market purchases, except as otherwise noted.  The aggregate purchase price of the 600,415 Shares directly owned by Mr. Radoff is approximately $694,007, including brokerage commissions.
 
The Shares directly owned by Mr. Schechter were purchased with personal funds (which may, at any given time, include margin loans made by brokerage firms in the ordinary course of business) in open market purchases, except as otherwise noted.  The aggregate purchase price of the 100,000 Shares directly owned by Mr. Schechter is approximately $109,157, excluding brokerage commissions.
 
Item 4.
Purpose of Transaction.
 
Item 4 is hereby amended to add the following:
 
On October 9, 2015, the Reporting Persons delivered a letter to the Issuer’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). In light of the destruction of shareholder value that has occurred under the incumbent Board’s watch, including an approximately 40% decline in share price this year alone, the Reporting Persons urged the Board to refrain from taking any action that would further harm shareholders either by making a material acquisition or by entrenching themselves. The Reporting Persons advised the Board and the Issuer’s management not to engage in any material transaction without shareholder approval or prior to shareholders having the opportunity to vote on the composition of the Board. The Reporting Persons made clear that they standby ready to work constructively with the Board to help address the problems facing the Issuer. A copy of the letter is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
 
Item 5.
Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
 
Items 5(a) – (c) are hereby amended and restated to read as follows:
 
The aggregate percentage of Shares reported owned by each person named herein is based upon 54,573,594 Shares outstanding as of July 31, 2015, which is the total number of Shares outstanding as reported in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 3, 2015.

Exhibit 99.1
 
October 9, 2015
 
Support.com, Inc.
900 Chesapeake Drive, Second Floor
Redwood City, California 94063
Attn: Board of Directors
 
To the Board of Directors:
 
We are a group of shareholders of Support.com, Inc. (“Support” or the “Company”) who together own approximately 12.3% of its outstanding common stock, making us the largest owners of the Company.  The Company’s share price has declined approximately 40% this year and currently has a negative enterprise value.
 
Support’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) and management must recognize that the Company’s negative enterprise value is an indictment of their strategy and governance.   We note that four of the Company’s six directors have been in place since 2009 or prior, including Jim Stephens, the Chairman of the Board.  During their tenure the Company’s share price has declined from over $7 per share in 2007 to a recent low of $1.06.  The Board and management must immediately recognize and take responsibility for the destruction of shareholder value on their watch.  Compounding this is the unwillingness of insiders to make any significant equity purchases that could demonstrate some faith in their current strategy.
 
We urge the Board to refrain from any action that would further harm shareholders either by making a material acquisition or by entrenching themselves.  Specifically, the Board and management must not take any action to use corporate resources in any material transaction without shareholder approval or prior to shareholders having the opportunity to vote on the composition of the Board.  We also urge the Company not to use corporate resources to disenfranchise shareholders or entrench management.
 
We standby ready to work with you cooperatively to address the problems facing the Company.
