The technician said that it is one way to get rid of unwanted spyware on a computer. I'm not sure about everything I downloaded, (if it worked or not). It was all erased with the rocovery. I'll try for a survey after a while and see what happens. I also bought new software, Spy Sweeper with AntiVirus.

Taht is horrible that that happened!

I just installed my new security software (McAfee) and have been able to do DS two days in a row now. Good luck with your computer!

Oh no Loretta. That is always my last ditch effort when things go wrong - restore to original. In fact I just did that with my home computer because I had been meaning to do it after my ex installed Norton antivirus (with free viruses! Yay...NOT!) from one of those online file sharing places years ago. It had been in quarantine the whole time but I really needed to get rid of it. Good thing is that my computer is great again.

Good luck with the DS today.

OMG!!! I actually went straight to a survey 2 different times, didn't qualify, tried again and finished it AND received the SR page!!!

Now I wonder if my activity from a little while ago can be seen. I'd love to attempt a SM and OXT but when should I clear cookies? I did before I did the GF. I'll be so happy if things get back to working.
