How to remedy this problem...
I am currently running Windows 7 Ultimate on my computer. I was on Windows 10, but it crashed every time it updated itself. So to fix my computer, I bought Windows 7 Ultimate x64 for $7 on E-Bay, not a bad idea in my opinion... :-)
To protect myself from online hacking or any other threats and diseases, I am currently running the following apps:
- AdBlocker Plus on all my web browsers:

- Sygate Personal Firewall 5.6.2808 - Windows 9x / 2000 / XP: ( Single CPU core only )

Download the Free Edition, it is the Red Button option... - I always keep Windows Defender up to date. It is also a very good anti-virus application.
That is pretty much all I have to protect myself. It is working very well so far...
