Good Day "50"

I used "goggle" search engine the other day and now can't remove it either..I can't close it out.. It's about the time of the year he checks it over before I start my book writing also...so it woulnd't hurt to go an see him in ways.

Don't understand this Shirley...Home Office put in an icon button? Is your Home office the same as our Home office, I suspect not?

Good morning everyone, lovely sunny one here and a bit warmer too 

Shirley, who are Home office Depoe? I would be deeply suspect of anyone who say they can gain access to your computer to do anything. My suggestion would be get rid of them, even if it means backing up your entire hard drive and restoring to factory settings. 

My friend in Cornwall had a problem with her Toshiba laptop. She rang some computer chap who advertised in the local newspaper, he took the laptop away for 5 days (what took so long goodness knows) when he brought it back he told her that he'd installed a program whereby he could gain remote access to he computer from his own computer to see if everything was running OK.

Horrified her daughter rang me, not knowing whether this claim was true or not. We were due to go down to stay with them two weeks later, the first thing I did when we got there was find this program and remove it. Not being an expert with Windows I was still concerned that it might be lurking somewhere, so I ordered an external hard drive from Amazon, it arrived 3 days later. I backed up everything and wiped the whole system back to a factory restore. It was a pain having to restore everything but at least we were then sure that the offending program had gone. 

Good evening James 

I probably should know who it is but I can't put a name to him, who is the new avatar ? 

Good evening John. I hope Nic had a good trip even though he's gone back with a cold 

A belated Happy Birthday to you too  

Hope Chris starts feeling better soon, what is they say about a cold - threat it and it will last 7 days, don't threat it and it will last a week.
