Do not worry Dick.
I am nearly 75 and just keep cruising.

I want to thank all of you for the input regarding  my ignorance (I’m also elderly) and feel more at home around cars than computers.  I just hope I haven’t steered (no pun intended) all of you away from our main purpose.  It’s been enlightening.

 

Thanks, again.

Reading the "Rickman" series begs asking a question for the elderly and ignorant...  "Antivirus" vs "Antimalware".  I have used ESET Nod32 for three or four years apparently with success.  (I was NOT happy with Norton, nor McAffee, both of which seemed to suck the power while pretending to interact with me seemingly just to make me feel they are actually DOING something.)
 
Do antivirus and antimalware programs conduct separate functions?  What does "malwarebytes" do?  Sorry to be ignorant, but I have more than enough to do replacing MB lower ball joints than to attempt to understand and fix my computer.  (BIG hammers don't work well.  I've tried it.) - Bellamy

Another problem with Norton is it slows your computer down, because it takes a lot of your memory.

I am also a member of the Real Estate Listserv from Internet Crusade with a membership of approx. 60,000 nationwide.

The majority of these members think Norton is junk.

Dick,

Norton is a piece of junk. Do not buy that stuff.

I bought AVG instead and that has protected me many times.

Dick,

 

I have never had a computer virus.

 

Rule 1:  NEVER open attachments or web links from strangers.

 

also, set up ypur email client to NOT open attachments and emails in a preview window.

  Hey guys,  I  just finished downloading  Norton to get rid of a virus & worm sent by the above.  If you have already received his email & attachment make sure you delete it.  I would hope that our webmaster might be able to detect this in the future but keep your eyes open.
