Welcome to the forum Willie.
It's not clear what kind of help are you looking for. Do you want advice on what security software you should install on your system? And also on safe practices? Please clarify so that help can be offered accordingly.

If you are playing games on Facebook, then you are running them in Facebook itself, you are not downloading. There are commercial/shareware software, which require a key/serial in order for users to use the software fully and without restrictions. Generally, these keys/serials are obtained, once you pay for these software. However, often these software are hacked by using cracks/warez, etc, to bypass the key/serial thing, so that the software can be run on the system without paying for it. This is illegal. In addition to being illegal, often sites on which cracks/warez are found, are the source of malware. Therefore, it's dangerous and risky to go to these sites. I don't think you will be using it, and I will advise you not to use it either. So, select No for that one. Quote:
Most probably, you won't need to use it. So, select No for that too. Sorry, I don't understand what you are trying to say here.

Anupam..thank you very much I'm so grateful for your help and patients with me!what comes easy to some finding there way round the internet knowing the terms and technology.
IS somewhat a frustrating epic task for one who is "Virtually Challenged" clicking on information you are trying to find and spending endless hours being sent to page after page that amounts to nothing to do with what your looking for It's a nightmare. So i would like to say a BIG thank you to anupam the gizmo team and the forum Community you do make a difference.I'm off to see the wizard, BE back soon LOL. Gratefully yours WK |
