[QUOTE="Weebarra, post: 630227, member: 60798"] I have really enjoyed reading this thread and seeing what you all do for a living, quite a lot of you are already in the IT business in some way and i guess that that relates to why you are interested in security and keeping your pc's in tip top condition. Me ? Up until about 5/6 years ago, i had absolutely no idea how to even switch a computer on so i plucked up the courage to go on a small computer course for learning the basics, it was primarily aimed at the older generation but even though i was younger (much much younger :p than others) it opened up a whole new world for me, i am disabled and not in employment so for me it is my lifeline in a lot of respects, it helps me to do things when i am not physically able to or when i can't get out, just simple things like shopping etc and looking at nonsense mostly !!! I make cards/scrapbooking as a hobby and started to use some graphics software to help me but that is all a learning curve as well but i know what i know and that is about all i can ask of myself. I'm just a lowly home user who has no knowledge of anything computer related really and i joined this site to try to become more security conscious. I doubt i will ever be able to "help" anyone but i enjoy reading about the security side of things (even though i don't understand a lot of it. I remember getting a virus of some sort and contacted Microsoft to try to help me as it all seemed to happen after a windows update (so naturally i blamed them, lol) well they fixed it remotely and charged me a small fortune and they suggested i look in on this forum as a point of interest and up until a couple of months ago i had never gotten around to it. Reading back on some of the malware removal guides, i could probably have done it myself as there are step by step instructions on the particular malware i had but now that i am here and if it ever happened again then i am sure some kind soul would help me ;) Whoops, that turned into a novel there, sorry about that guys :oops:. Anyway, i'm enjoying myself here even though i don't much so thank you all for all the helpful stuff you post. [/QUOTE]
