Awesome it it works, I have not received anymore threats. now to switch over to my other account and if it’s being threatened. Thanks a lot, you’re a life saver.
Ok, everything ok on this one too. I was afraid my computer and all my data was compromised and would have to format my computer if it there was no fix.
