-=PCTechTalk=- Re: Virus scans, etc.

I am a little bit hesitant to have her install and use Malwarebytes because 
my scan caught the exe in Word.  Since I had you to tell me what to do and 
had no use for Word anyway, it was of no consequence.  But if that happened 
to Pam it might be major!  I was pretty sure you would recommend 
Malwarebytes so that is the reason I really wanted her to subscribe.  Then, 
if she has a problem she has you for a safety net.
