If you want to use this QR code (Quick Response code) just save the image and paste it where you want. You can even print it and use it that way. Coffee cups, T-Shirts etc would all be good for the QR code.

Virus on my computer system

I am trying to get rid of viruses on my computer system. Until recently I didn't know they existed. It wasn't until I got a message back saying I sent it out. I am using viruses checkers to get rid of the virus - then I am reformatting my computer. If anyone here is on my mailing list - do not open these files. I am sorry for any problems this may cause or causing. I would not intentionally send out a virus to hurt or cause problems to others computer system, especially like me it's our only life line to our friends and family.
PS: This system was my ex-husbands computer - I should have known better - he was forever downloading crap
Hugs to all and Please forgive me
Gerri & Makaylah

Macs are definitely less likely than windows PCs to get taken over by viruses and trojans, but attacks are starting to get more common -- enough that Apple is no longer advertising Mac OS X as virus free, or laughing off virus scanners as unnecessary. So it could be worth looking into, better safe than sorry. http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/technology/2012/04/mac-os-x-report-virus-infects-600000-computers/http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2406275,00.asp

Ran a virus checker all looks good - Should have formatted it to make sure no virus were present, before using. Just started using the computer two months ago.

Viruses happen when you least expect them. I just didn't need to find out that theses virus were going out to my doctors. This computer even sent the virus to another one of emails. Thought I had a handle on it. Well it's gone now - I reformatted the computer - now with new partitions - all done.
Hugs

I have been getting the emails but it is easy to see that it is a virus and I have not opened a one of them. Don't worry Gerri. I just hope you get it going soon.
I am having computer problems myself. I need more RAM. I just don't want to put too much in to this old computer but also don't want to put money in to a new one. Just another thing that I am having to figure out...new car vs. used car, new computer vs more RAM, etc. etc.
Hugs and Blessings.
