Sorry for your problem w the upgrade, Linda. I know what you mean about it being inconvenient to get it fixed too, when you live out in the country.
Thanks for the tips, Griff & Chad. I'm now trying out Microsoft Security Essentials, as I wasn't pleased w the anti-virus s/w I've been using. I still use IE though, never Firefox.

We had issues with Trend Micro and switched to systems over to (free)
Microsoft Security Essentials after reading many good reviews, and I am very 
happy so far.

B
After it was too late (computer infected), I learned (the

hard way) that

the most recent upgrade of FIREFOX (which Firefox

automatically

downloaded & installed last week) was incompatible with my

antivirus

software, Trend Micro.

So my computer was trashed, had to haul

it ~60 miles round trip to the

doctor, and now am stuck using Gatesware and

am $100 poorer.


I don't know whether I'm more disgusted with Firefox or

Trend Micro, who

is encouraging me to buy more software from them (just

renewed in June)

and apparently kept emailing me while computer was in the

shop wanting

to know if their solution (to wait for their new software

release next

month) took care of my problem.

grrr....

And still in the

90s every day & no rain.  Crunchy dry grass.
