Re: Doing the HAPPY DANCE!!
I installed the Norton Utilities that Comcast offered. This computer is
used mostly as a school computer (we homeschool) so not a lot of Internet
usage. Norton includes a spyware (but I have been using SpyBot for years,
just haven't installed anything else on this particular one).
Thank you for the link to that info - I will go over it carefully. Still
having a couple of issues - doesn't want to reboot for some reason, just
hangs on the "shutting down" screen occasionally, but I can live with that &
research how to fix it.
I do appreciate everyone's help, and apologize to those who are annoyed at
how I've posted. I've learned a lot, and truly am grateful for everyone's
expertise. My daughter is so thrilled about having her computer up and
running.
