Yesterday afternoon when I hit preview to post in response to your posts and comments..I got this strange error message..can’t find site click here..(of course I did not click)I looked at the name ..it had genx in it and knew I was in trouble..I was able to google the name..It hijacks browsers we use and can really mess up a computer..I turned ofF and unplugged my computer..trying to avoid further damage.

I asked my helper to bring over malwarebytes antimalware on a flash drive..so we could run my computer in safe mode and clean it up..I also asked him to bring his laptop so I could tell you . I did not know at the time that this clean up would fix the problem..as it was reported on my google search to be a hard one to get rid of.
I now have more protection on this computer..and my own flashdrive copy of Malware antimalware...

It took me almost as much time to sign into FR on his computer and post my “Bad Virus” notice to you as it did for him to clean up my computer.

.I and my tremor don’t do well with touchpads and laptop keyboards..LOL

Here’s hoping this really worked..It cost me all of 20 dollars for my helper to fix it..I am So fortunate to have this young man as a neighbor!
