[QUOTE="Larry H, post: 1041609, member: 132591"] W T F ? ? ? ? I don't have any expert answers to your questions, but why would you have a computer, presumably a notebook, on a bed? Cloth covering the cooling vents? Not good. Re Firefox. You need to know what version of Firefox was on your computer before and what version you installed now. Different versions? Perhaps Firefox changed the way it presents the Bookmarks in the newest version. If your router has a firewall and that firewall is 'on' I don't think anything is going to get to your computer. In any event, unless you are super rich and have all your financial passwords and account numbers on your computer, nothing on your computer is worth stealing!!!!!! By the way, for safety don't put your financial records on your computer. Relax, computer viruses don't infect humans, and they don't infect Mac computers!!! If you really can't relax about all this computer stuff, get an 8 1/2 x 11 pad and pencil. No computer problems any more!!! LOL My real suggestion is to take your computer and router to an expert and let them set up both. Then take them home, use and enjoy them. And DON'T download any more programs or AV or anything. Just do email, surf, or whatever. If by some remote chance they get messed up, take them back to the expert for a fix. It sure would help the real experts here on this site if you would fill in your profile as to what computer, OS, ram, etc. you have. That info is available by clicking the apple (upper left corner of the screen). Larry H [/QUOTE]
