my question is- being computer illiterate nearly- what exactly would the hackers be getting off a typical Internet and email user’s computers that is so valuable? All i basically do is Internet browsing and email with only a very few contacts really- it’s not like there is a whole slew of ‘valuable personal info’ on the computer
