My list friends,
I apologize to anyone who got a virus because you clicked on a message
from me. Jerry explained all of this already, so I will not go over
that. I get many emails from former students, and would routinely click
on them, if I recognized the name. It always leads to a job offer, and I
thought that was weird. I have also gotten my fair share of legitimate
looking email that turned out to be a fraud. I now pause before clicking
any suspicious email. I have two forwarding emails to use to get rid of
swindles. I paid too much money for a company called ITECH to clean my
machine. I was not satisfied with them, and had Microsoft do the same
thing. ITECH spent three days working on it and Microsoft spent a day,
so I feel good about it being clean. I also loaded the program called
Malewarebytes on my computer, and it found several malware issues AFTER
the $300 professional cleaning. In all the process, I loaded freeware to
try to help my cause, and that only got me more problems. I still have
one called AVG that comes up when I do a search. I read the directions
on how to get rid of it, but it is too complicated for me. If I spend
another dime on the computer, my 47-year marriage is in jeopardy, so,
for now, I will just live with it. I was kidding about the marriage; I
don't really think my wife would do that. I have a friend, Evelyn Craig
Case, who lives in Hot Springs Village, to whom I have introduced
SeniorTech. I do not know how long it will take her to visit the site
and get on the list (she has connection problems and has not been able
to use the Internet for months), but if/when she does, I know you will
enjoy her company. She is 92-years old with some health issues, but she
has a wonderfully, active brain. I have taken way too much of your time.
If you made it to here, thank you for listening.
