Chili Ron 1,019 Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 Howdy, Not that exact one but I got a bunch of popups about drove me nuts. last week. I first tried to switch to firefox but they had some weird password that I couldnt guess. Finally signed up with a year of McAfee. Called a number at the bottom of their ad and contact a helpful fella who helped me get McAfee running right. 37 for a year on up to five machines. We gotta get more serious about this as it is international. You might get lucky with avoiding but having the computed messed with is bad. I feel I have a year to get something better than Mcafee if I can find one. Well bac to F1.... Best CR 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
