Hi guys, my computer is out and in the shop. I'm on dh's now but can't stay on. I'll try to check in over the weekend if I can. My husband's computer is too hard to use! Hope you're all ok. I'll check in when I can. Miss you!Cathy :)

Hey there Cathy, Do you have a router? What about a firewall? Is your comp getting hit by viruses or is it having mechanical problems. There are programs you can download to watch for spyware called spyware and adware. We use that on ours it helps to get rid of viruses and registry keys that get in from web browsing. We bought a router to keep from getting hacked. With as much work that you do online it would be easy for someone to hack in. Also Norton has good scanning programs. Good luck. I know comp repair/maintenance isn't cheap. Talk to you soon, Lisa.

Hi Lisa - I have spysweeper and ad-aware, e trust antivirus but no fire wall. I think it's all these stupid pop ups on ivillage, actually. I'm on my husband's computer right now and I notice he has NO pop ups!! So I'll have to see what that's all about. I sent your stuff last Thursday so you should have it soon. Have fun!! (It may be awhile before I get my conputer back.) Hugs, Cathy :)
