Not too long ago virus writers were more subtle, they’d drop in things that did little or nothing or worked slowly. Not anymore, now they like to toast your computer in 30 seconds or less. If I was conspiracy minded I’d say it was the AV companies doing it, but I’m not so I won’t.

I’ve heard that said. I don’t understand it enough to have a clue. I only know that when both my laptop and desktop got them in the same week I said, ENOUGH! I don’t want to have to be a geek just to do what I want to do on a computer.

Gee, I'm sure glad you didn't say that. Real glad!
