Nice clubhouse. At least here I don't get a called adware when bundled in news webpages. Don't get them on Reuters or Sputnik, but do on just about any other American news sites, and weather.com videos. Always the same, adware.gen.heur, gets saved in a windows temp file that I can only delete in safe mode. Malwarebytes ignores it in normal mode, and my anti-virus blocks it every time it tries sending info, which is damn near constant with the web browser open. Wouldn't be so bad, but the browser freezes while the virus and the anti-virus argue, which would make writing this post take several minutes. So many news articles redirect to another site that even staying with a safe one doesn't guarantee I won't get sent right to a virus page. Seems like the only answer is to "allow" the adware in the anti-virus, which I'd rather not do, hard telling what other mischief it might be up to. Any of the clubhouse 'puter people know a solution?

Back from lunch, the calls are getting weird. Guy wanted help with his lawn mower, I gave him Al's number.
