[AT] Remembering

[Gene Dotson]

    I bought my new? (refurbished) computer last June and tried to et it up. 
Was so frustrated with it, I gave up on it. Pop up ads and ads for programs 
to protect  my computer came up so fast I couldn't click them off as fast as 
they came up. Finally after is sit for several months, I was determined to 
conquer it. Did a little research and located a program called (Spyhunter4) 
and downloaded it. Cost $42.95 or so. Started it up and first run it 
identified more than 1850 threats. Took over 4 hours to run. Threats were 
mostly adware and spyware.
Restarted the computer and all was well. I am running Windows 7. Money for 
this was well spent as I was just a short way from using it for target 
practice.

    Also have a couple more cleaning programs that I run. Those too are paid 
programs. The free programs don't clean as completely.

I run the same programs with the same setup on five different devices 
through the same router, same ISP, etc, but Facebook reacts differently on 
all five of them!  I've gone into the settings on Facebook to make make them 
as similar to each other as I can, but different software/hardware 
combinations simply act differently.
