Lesson Learned
First a tip I learned the hard way--photos or important stuff you have on your pc--back them up some where !!! We spent all day in Office Depot--but they did finially recover my pictures--it cost me but I got them back. It was going to cost about $200. to clean the pc and get the virus or whatever was in it fixed--I said to heck with it--and we bought a new pc--mine was old anyway--it will take me some time to get used to this stuff and find everything--This is windows 7--I had just learned Vista and I think Windows 8 is already out !! We also bought an external hard drive to store pictures and stuff in (so much for our summer vaction huh?) Oh well--I will figure this thing out soon I hope--I have a bigger screen so it's easier to see !!
I had McAfee on my old pc and I put it on this one--but the tech said--dont click on attachments in any e mail--and don't open e mails that have been forwarded a lot of times-thats where I probaly picked it up--malware I think--something like that. Hot in Texas--thank goodness for ac !!

Good luck!
Thankfully , you could recover your photos. That is one of the objections I have with them being on PC. I can not hold them in my hand when I want to, and it is a chore to go get them.!

@trudy_troyer - Hi my friend trudy--what a n ice surprise !! Wish you were close enough for us to have coffee and laugh--love ya too--think of you often
You are going to be happy with your new computer , Maggie . Much fast and with much capacity. Congrats.
You are right to have an external hard drive . I got one too to save all of the important documents or the photos . In the past I lost a lot of documents because I didn' t save them on a CD .then my computer crashed !
Love
Michel
