Just a sidenote:
I think CNET.com downloads gave me cyber PTSD. Ha! Downloaded from them for years and then one day downloaded from them on a high availability work computer. Now, that of course is not good practice. TOok that computer down so hard it took everything I’d learned in my life about computers to get it back! So now I’m skeerd of CNET.com downloads and try to find other sources. *shudder* :)

TOok that computer down so hard ....

Heard that they did some stuff but nothing that severe. I usually run a virus check after downloading something. They do have good info on electronic stuff.

I had a phone call and no one was here but there was a strange beep. When I went back to my MacBook the camera was on. I even got hacked by my landline. My personnel records, equafax, and my health insurance got hacked. I feel safer on the dark web than the “safe” stuff.
