Thanks possum.
Well I had worse experiences with both McAfee and Norton...and DocJohn back then recommended it...
Funny, just as this was going on Angie's List offered 2 or 4 hours of computer tech time for like $50 and I almost jumped on it.
I have things under control now, and it would take more time to write down and explain stuff of how I want it to someone else than to just fix it as I go...
My old computer I had taken in to Office Depot and had the fix it program on there for it... but alas it's gone I think, won't even see the CD to wipe the mother board lol I mean, it might be but maybe it's just the monitor gone?

I've put it on my long list of things to do... hook it up to the TV and see if the computer works but not the monitor.
Things like finding the all-in-one printer CD and making it see the network...and reinstalling my Photo Shop program... sigh.
But alas, all the updates have been done successfully (well, one glitch that rebooting fixed )...
I am amazed at what was remembered though...like my SN and password for psychcentral.
