No.  You've been wonderful…thank you so much!!

 

 

Actually, in order to head this off at the pass…do you recommend an anti-adware program?  Evidently Malwarebytes and AVG aren't quite cutting it.

You are running the free version of Malwarebytes, the Pro Version has a Protection Module, if you wander into a bad website or try to download something thats listed in there database as bad you will get a pop up from Malwarebytes advising you to block that  download and that site will be blocked. The cost is minimal, I have it on all my systems but this of course is up to you.

 

AVG is decent, there are better ones , the key here is to just have one AV, keep it updated and run regular scans.  I have heard good things about BitDefender

Bottom line, whatever protection you use, if you abuse surfing the internet ( not referring to you ) and constantly go into forbidden territory and constantly download apps and programs, you will eventually  pick something up. Just use your head and be careful, don't let your little ones go online alone , don't let them download whatever they want, advise and guide them through it .

Your more than welcome
