OPPS!! meant I just hang up
That's good CC.

About 20 years ago, I bought three computers for my children, virus got into them and that was a very costly mistake. Since then my children and I are very careful in opening mails that are not familiar. Norton protection since then.
lindsy it really doesn't matter on how good the virus protection is cause if a hacker wants to get into a computer system bad enough they will find it's way in eventually.
Interestingly, my desktop running Windoze 7 OS and Malwarebytes Premium for security, completely refused to instal those Microsoft March updates & patches. Eventually I used a back-door method to instal them.
confused dunno
You're right CC. I think I'm just too cautious now and bought the protection services.

But it's been a long time since that happened.
I have the window 10 and I didn't have installing the updates.
Who benefits financially from computer virusses? -businesses selling antivirusses.

How do they manage to beat virusses? -by employing the kids that write the virusses in the first place.

So how many people paid the $300 ransom? -on those figures, about 170.

Why the sum of $300? -its a bit more than a geek fixing it and a bit less than buying a new tower.
Pat I agree with you 100 percent.

When my oldest email address got hacked and they said it'll cost me 300 to fix, I literally told them exactly what you said.

Of course we're victimized by the same corporate greed.
I'm glad Usha.

I don't but I figure if it's already stopped, then we're all safe.

How are you?

Nice to see you back. wave
