You can do it as long as these newsgroups are still online. When
Microscum is ready to get rid of so called MVPs you won't have a

....a help file of info about MP3s, recording from
LP/cassette and tips & tricks on this and that.

I installed the Norton Utilities that Comcast offered. This computer is
used mostly as a school computer (we homeschool) so not a lot of Internet
usage. Norton includes a spyware (but I have been using SpyBot for years,
just haven't installed anything else on this particular one).

Thank you for the link to that info - I will go over it carefully. Still
having a couple of issues - doesn't want to reboot for some reason, just
hangs on the "shutting down" screen occasionally, but I can live with that &
research how to fix it.

I do appreciate everyone's help, and apologize to those who are annoyed at
how I've posted. I've learned a lot, and truly am grateful for everyone's
expertise. My daughter is so thrilled about having her computer up and
running.

After a clean install, you will have the equivalent of a "new computer" so
take care of everything on the following page before otherwise connecting
the machine to the internet or a local network (i.e., other computers) and
before using a flash drive or SDCard that isn't brand-new or hasn't been
freshly formatted:

4 steps to help protect your new computer before you go online

What anti-virus application or security suite is installed now and is your
subscription current? What anti-spyware applications (other than
Defender)? What third-party firewall (if any)?

Has a(another) Norton or McAfee application ever been installed on the
computer (e.g., a free-trial version that came preinstalled when you
bought it which could have been reinstalled, but invalid, when you
reinstalled Windows)?

Not to the best of my knowledge - I don't see any links for signing up, nor
any sign of a trial version on the hard drive. I installed from a Windows
disk & only got drivers from a back-up source.
