program. Thursday AM I had a notice from my virus program (a day late and a dollar short)! Anyway, it's been in the computer shop since Thursday getting "cleaned", and I just got it back today! I haven't been able to hook it up until now because we have had strong thunderstorms all day long, and I didn't want to take a chance on it getting zapped by the lightening. Anyway, it's good to be back. I missed all of my Cute friends!...Barb

Glad u r back and so sorry to hear you had a virus problem.

Glad you are back Barb and sorry you had a problem. This should be a warning to everyone....don't go to sites you don't know.;)

What security program were you using, and which one did you switch to? I use Macafee and it seems to work well for me. But, I don't download from sites I'm not familiar with. I don't need free designs that badly. I figure I could buy lots of designs from Embroidery Library for what it would cost me to get my computer fixed! I sure would like to know about the security program though, because my Macafee is up for renewal. thanks, Marji

I was using Bit Defender; it's #1 according to Consumer Reports. Well, not in my book. I switched to AVG. You can get a free, basic program off of the internet, and those who use it say that's all you need. Also, the computer place recommended it. I'm already impressed with it.

yes what site was you in? *4u

I'm not sure where I got it. I was going through all of my embroidery sites, and I probably have 50 of them.

glad ur back on line , but itoo had the same problem 2wks back , had to reformat the computer,and as my machine also needs the computer could not work , the virus was so bad that it did not let the machine work,or reload its program.hence had to reformat. cutes be careful of what u download.

Glad to hear you got it fixed and to see you around. I am kind of peeky when it comes to DL stuff from sites that I don't know. I am lately just sticking to the sites I am familiar with.Do you know what site was it that you got the virus from???
