Well I thought mine was a virus, but I'd been house cleaning and just dumped to many files and folders. But I learned that there was more to downloading a virus protection. THe put a thing on your desktop and I thought I was protected, but I found out I needed to activate it by clicking on it and following the instructions. I paid for it and didn't use it. I'm dumber than dirt sometimes. I just assumed it worked because it downloaded. Switch me with a big stick!
