My Hero!!


My son is my hero!! I am so happy and thankful that he was able to get the virus out of my computer. Just Pam left this comment -

"I recently had to pay a few hundred dollars to get a virus off my computer. I have all the virus software too. The tech asked me if I updated my adobe and java. I do sometimes. He said the updates are security updates and since I don't do that all the time, that is probably how the virus got on my computer. You can be sure I update everything now!"

I asked my son if this might be the reason that we got the virus, and he said it was possible. A lot of times when I see these pop ups on the screen, I usually just click "no". My son said basically the same thing, if it is adobe or java, update it!! Just a little word to the wise :-)

So it will be back to posting about projects and some things that have been happening around here ;-D
