Well, I surprised myself. I called for tech support from a provider I subscribe to, and the tech did most of everything to replace the protection I was paying for with the one that is available to me free. It is the same thing. I just kept paying because I was afraid to switch.

Well, it took like an hour or more of me being on the phone with the tech support person. I had to collaborate with him to get the job done. It was long and tedious. I didn't think I could face it. I haven't been able to face brushing my teeth today. Sometimes, when something is important and I feel like I have a stake in it that's valuable, I can make myself function, despite being horribly depressed. So that's what I did. Now I will not have to be afraid to turn on my computer. Thanks for asking.

Unfortunately, I still feel quite bad mentally. It will go away eventually, I guess. It always does.
