Friday night a screen suddenly popped up on my computer that said it was locked by the Justice Dept. for "illegal activities". Message said to send $300 to some moneygram place or I was subject to arrest and jail sentence - for - among other things - child pornography. Never saw a scam like this before, but I got hold of my computer guy and now I'm back in business. He did the repair via remote -- last night he said I could use the computer again. Have not spoken to him yet this morning but from what I could see there were a couple of trojans he got rid of and a bunch of infected files. Don't know how I got this thing because I'm super careful, I never open attachments, even if I know the sender --- but I guess somehow these things slip by.
Anyway, good to be back and catch up. Missed you guys for a few days - I felt cut off from the world.
