BRuce,
tahnks for suggestion but...

No no and no - I loathe Macs, I've been using windows for over 20 years .. Using my friends mac is agony. It is NOT simpler at all and physically annoying . Not to mention I have stuff that wont run on a mac.

It isn't true, either, that macs are safe from viri these days and
the problems I'm having are nothing to do with a virus.

Now boys and girls,
I saw this offer from Staples on line

Comments?

I think the best thing for me to do is get a refurbed computer with Win 7 on it... Use that for web, and keep my lovely old dell for working off line , rather than installing 7 on it. I did that before when
I upgraded, kept my old windows 98 bus that had things on it I didnt
want to lose and could only run on that...

Ann, not to be "that Mac bigot", but have you considered an
inexpensive Mac? Sounds like you can use your neighbors Mac with no
trouble. It might just be a more pleasant way for you to get back on
the air again. No more virus worries, simpler to work (in general).

If you bought a Mac Mini for $499 you can use your existing monitor
(through a cable adapter: Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter), keyboard
and mouse. I'd suggest a refurb Mac Mini but they don't have any right
now.

Just a wild thought.

Dell's "Inspiron Small Desktop 3000 Series with Windows 7 Professional"

It's under $400 -

advice needed

for reasons I can't explain (but somehow Avast is involved), I can't
sign into any site that I go to that needs me to sign in..
