Shownotes Transcript

A listener who falls victim to an online scam tells her story having a malicious "fixit.exe" program running on her computer.  A listener running Windows 7 wonders what would be the best computer to buy for a new one.  Another caller looking to purchase a new computer looks for a way to easily transfer information from his old computer to a new one.  An Apple Macintosh user looks for a way to remove the SearchMine trojan fro her Mac. We help a Windows user who wants to increase the time she stays logged into her computer. Also, she wants to stop mortifications from Yahoo! news.  A Mac user asks if the e-mail she received saying that he old sent.net e-mail address going away was a scam exposing her to a possible computer virus.  An Outlook.com user looks for a way to stop a large increase in spam to his e-mail address.  A listener says that her e-mail recipient cannot open the spreadsheet she sends.
