I didn't sign up for the free stuff, I joined up for knowledge. That you all have and I don't. The only way that I will learn is to follow a crazy random pattern, as I know basically: nothing... the more I wander around, the more I begin to piece together. Terms that are completely normal to you are 100% greek to me. For example, this forum:

They call me
TwinHeadedEagle around here, and I'll be working with you.

This is why I am here, and why I am running all over the place. To learn. To learn to be unafraid of this machine tying up my life for days and days, trying to figure out why it slowed down, or why it is popping up porn, or why I was unable to remove (something) from the computer that is on my floor, and so, there it sits.
Right now, I am OK, kinda, on this computer. No current infections that I am aware of. But, when there were systems crashed by overloads a few months back, ? Sept./Oct..?, I did notice that my machine mostly wouldn't run, and my modem was extremely busy. It was my belief that somehow, someone stole control of it and was using it. Then, I read the news about the overloads, caused by a zillion hits, and it is still my belief that somehow, this quadrant of the US, or this county, or this server, or this computer was used in that effort.
So, I am randomly all over. One day, I hope to not feel the need to do that. I welcome MT very much into my life! I have been to sites where I had to sign up, and never went back. If y'all are here for just each other, and not to help those less knowledgeable than you, then what would be the point? It might be a good, friendly social club, like where we discuss guitars..., but I am here because you are so welcoming and ready to help. I have learned much already...about what is in the configuration of this computer. I really WANT to learn about what makes this computer tick, and I have credit card info on here, from purchases, and I don't feel safe- I don't think they are protected. So, thanks for being here.
