Feb 18, 2015: thanx will try suggestions and enjoying life despite it all. I now see it is fairly common. people try to steal houses to flip, whatever they can, etc., but we just keep moving on. It is a challenge due to today's pay systems, but it will be ok. I have seen this year that it is not at all an unusual problem and many have suffered such. Just gotta keep moving on and thanks all, be well

Started to download a word processor app from what I though was a reputable name, confused with another similar. AVG caught and removed 3 Trojan Horse viruses just in the .exe files. Offending programme was from Kingsoft.

AVG, top protection, even for those of us who just about know how to do the basics.

I got malware on the 'scan for outdated software' part of AVG, not sure if I did it by clicking on a bogus Flash Player update I thought was AVG though. I TRIED not to.
