In keeping with the tone of this thread, I have noticed and commented to my husband that I only seem to get Virus Alerts from quilting sites or quilting blogs. It's possible that scammers/hackers/thieves have figured out that quilters are often older and not too savvy regarding the workings of online purchases and technology.
I spend a GREAT deal of time online and we do almost all our shopping online. The only time we seem to have a problem is when we use our cards at local restaurants...but do be aware regarding the viruses found on quilting sites and blogs. Keep those anti-virus programs updated!
