That's funny. Same thing happened to me this year. Cost me $240 to get it fixed and secured.

Why did it cost you $240 bucks mate?

Not knowing anything about computers, I took it up to the local computer technician. He got rid of the bugs, etc, and put a security thingy on it . Norton? Put adblock etc. on it also. Hope it's not originating from this website!

I use Malwarebytes, it’s the free version and the Microsoft Security System for Win10. No issues. I did read the other day that Outlook 2013 in Office is no longer supported i.e. no security updates.
Cheers and i hope all is solved for you mate.

Thanks Mackka. Malwarebytes might be worth a look.

These free options are all that I use as well. I would also recommend the free version of CCleaner as a very useful ap to have on your PC. When installing CCleaner just be wary not to install any extra program/s that may be offered, unless of course you really want the offered program.
