glad to see you decided to stay....ha
1st thing I do every day is check for windows updates before opening browser.
lots of nasties everywhere, I use zonealarm, set to manual, and then in 4th colume set all to "X" under "allow incoming from internet" then set browser security to NOT ALLOW DOWNLOADS, then malwarebytes pro, avast, and keep those updated, and of coarse never click on links from anybody. still might get something but iv'e had good luck last 20 years or so. ops, almost forgot I use ccleaner to clean out the crap with every use.
bigworld, thanks for patch idea, I just don't trust them not to release the incorrect amounts, to controlling. glad knee went well, years ago my mom's boyfriend, in his 80's said the only thing he regretted about his was he didn't do it earlier.
read on zerohedge last night that the vix was at 17 days straight, I think below 11, happened with a top of ten days several times in 2006-2008. and few times with runs of less than 10 days in the 60's and 70's. BUT 17, YIKES. sleep.
take care. hope the big dumb computer box starts cooperating....
