A couple of years ago my Mom upgraded her virus protection to a great program. One that I would definitely recommend. But, she bought it for just a year subscription. When I visited home about a year and a half later the computer had so many issues on it. It was slow, it was full of spy ware, and my mom was having trouble with Word, where she was trying to write her book!
I recognized that she had not resubscribed the program. Fortunately, there were no major viruses, but it was enough to make working on the computer a hassle as opposed to a convenience. Moral of the story, make sure your virus and spy ware protection are up to date.

I too used to find myself in your shoes annually. I would go home, and the computer would not be updated and protected. So now, what I have done is registered for the anti-virus software in my name and with my email address, so that when it expires, I receive an email for it, and renew it for my parents...
ReplyDeleteThat's a great idea! I will have to steal that one!
