![]() Thank you for the Bitdefender codes, don’t want them for my computer, it’s good, was thinking of trying this or ESET Mobile in my phone, cuz almost every site wants you to allow cookies before entering its domain ( guess they to get paid somehow ) but I’m sick of pop-ups and directed ads on the pages I’m looking at. I also build, rebuild gaming rigs, regular computers, desktop and laptop, repair, teach and consult on purchases, usually go to Digital World, great second hand music, music instruments, gaming, computer and other electronics store, then I doctor them up, I also put MS Office 16/19 whichever they want and any other type of software they may be looking for, music stuff like Accoustica, picture editing stuff have different ones, music conversion tools, movie burning stuff and so on and it’s still like 200 or more, usually more, cheaper than Best Buy and their stupid Geek Squad morons!!!! I also do cellphone and tablet repairs as well as any other electronics like home theatre stuff and so on!! I love it, nice to see someone else who did all this on their own as well. It’s really necessary cloudy looking first thing I picked up on, then the 3 people who SUPPOSEDLY sent it to me, were people I’ve known for between 5-10 years, so they have no idea what I looked like as a teenager or my 20’s ( I’m 53 now ) so that was a HUGE giveaway, so when I fixed people’s computers, that was my first question, how long have you known blah blah, the average answer was 6 years and 99% of my customers are 55 and up, so I tell them, they wouldn’t have any idea how you looked at that age!!!! Anyway, done bugging you. ![]() I’ve been trusting it since 2010 and have had ZERO issues with it, also I know my way around the internet, I know exactly what not to click on, what mail not to open, what stupid Facebook\Messenger cute picture not to open, like this one that I had to fix for a lot of people the last year, a picture sent by someone you know on Facebook ( or Gossipbook is what I call it ) saying, the person in this picture looks like you from years ago. ![]() ![]() I trust Windows Defender ( used to be separate in 2010 till Win 8.1 and they were put together in one, Microsoft Security Essentials had to be downloaded and Defender was already in the machine but was only a firewall ). I do complete back-up, reformat, update all drivers, out all backup stuff ( docs, pics, vids, music and whatever ) all back in after scanning and putting on a DVD/USB stick for backup and unlike stores like Best Buy, Staples and all those types of places, my customers love me cuz I charge like 1/2 of what those places do and I do so much more, with what I mentioned above, so when they take it home it’s ready to go, I even turn on Windows Defender and fix the settings for them, so it’ll do it’s correct updates and scans periodically, cuz believe it or not, there’s still a ton of illiteracy out there and people can’t even do an update or scan. So, like you that was my starting point that completely tweaked my interest in computers, everything else I know today was self taught as well, just like you, once ya know the basics, the rest is easy to pick up. It was an office course, so it didn’t get really deep inside, just this is memory ( RAM, didn’t learn ROM till later on my own ), this is a hard drive, this is a 5.25″ DD Floppy ( and about 3 months info the course the school finally got with it and we all got 2.5″ HD drives ) this is a keyboard and this is a mouse, which was very rudimentary at the time, this is Word Perfect ( love it, I have MS Office 2019, but still have WP Office Suite X9 and love it, still a huge WP, Presentations and Quattro Pro fan, I have 2020, but haven’t tried it yet ). ![]() Hey!! I just read your skills info thing under your name, we are identical in every way!! I started getting serious about them in 1996 after just poking around for a year before and I started with the exact same software as you, took a small Office Technology course in 1996 learned the basics about DOS, Windows, all the peripherals and other parts and pieces inside and typing. ![]()
