Get a more secure computer and operating system! Macs are great for this! Also there are versions of Linux which are really easy to use, like Ubuntu. You can use your same computer, just get rid of Windows and install Ubuntu intead! Henry, if you toss the computer you are letting the spammers win! Get a more secure computer and operating system!

I had a PC and switched to a Mac for the reasons you described. I was tired of wrestling with virus's, spam, spyware removal/updates, etc. Like gunner said "there are good folks online in spite of all the crap, scammers and spammers". Have your son get you an inexpensive Mac and join a Mac computer users group. Mac's are known for not getting virus's, are easy to set up and are very user friendly. There are numerous forums and computer groups out there with members who really enjoy helping others with questions or problems to solve. Good luck and hang in there! Henry,

Now the first thing that I have do is to make sure all the back doors are closed, my threat levels are set to high, and I am seriously considering unplugging and tossing this computer into the recycling bin and going back to my newspapers, television, and snail mail...
