He said a lot of the new viruses somehow exploit the older versions and get to your computer that way, from any website, any ad or banner on a website, or whatever. He said it would be almost impossible to pinpoint where I got it from! |
That is good advice, thank you, will do that. My daughter's laptop wasn't being updated at all, windows or anything. She didn't think it was important
