Computer Status iffy Again
Our very enjoyable respite from weird messages and frozen cursors may be over today, as one pop-up has returned to plague us. Just FYI in case our home cures don't work and Plaintalker goes dark for a while.
Bernice, you may have a virus or trojan horse.I found a free program "Malwarebytes" the best one to clean your computer. You may have to run it more than once, but it got rid of one "trojan" that kept popping up and making it impossible to compute. You have to be ure it runs your backup files.
I have been reporting on Plainfield for more than 30 years, first at the Plainfield Today weekly, then at the Courier News and after retirement on the Plainfield Plaintalker blog and its successor, Plaintalker II.

Hi Bernice,
ReplyDeleteIf you need help, I can look at it. I live at 735 Park Ave., not that far away. I fix and sell computers.
