I wanted to add that I bear no ill will towards those that do not "get" how to operate computers safely,as I myself had never touched one when this machine fell in my lap last year.It certainly can be a daunting task to learn computer operation,(especially on one where NOTHING works as it should!). I am a bit of a dunce myself but with effort anybody can ask questions or read about the correct ways to safeguard their computer,and I urge those who are lacking such info to seek it out and apply it! - j.cougar
