“One thing though, I keep getting this adware.cookie something every time. Do you know how to stop it?”
Possibly. Go to http://winhelp2002.mvps.org/hosts.htm and download a plain-text file known as a “hosts file”. Then copy it to the appropriate folder for your version of operating system. Instructions on the site tell how to do it. That file simply acts as a filter to block thousands of the best known malware sites. Check that site for updates once a month. After that, install and run MalwareBytes if you aren’t using it already.
Thanks. Lots of stuff to read through. Will have someone give me some help. R/Janey
