Hello, I'm pleased to be welcomed in with open arms, however pleasantries and such will be saved for a more well-to-do occasion. I'm not quite sure the source from which I picked up this dastardly virus but I know it's present. My browsers (Edge/Chrome) seem to be the infected parties. I've been placed under management by an unknown organization. That has placed policies in the install allow and force install list. I fear this is the least of my worries as my registry seems to hold a lot of what I've researched as giveaways to possibly much more nefarious attempts. I just like to get more defined and professional feedback on my situation. Thank you in advance!
