Please forward to the proper department...I have been an AOL member since my first at home computer.
Today I was never more thankful for being a part of the AOL team. Yesterday I went to sign into a web site for what I thought was a dog breeder in NC. Went I clicked on notice that was posted, all kinds of bells,alerts and notices popped up on my screen. I hit ALT...Control..Delete immediately and shut the computer down. When I was able to sine in again, I had not e-mail, new, old, trash, etc..also M Favorite Places was blank. I shut the computer down and ran my "Fix ME Stick". no luck..I could not send anything to my computer. Apparently a virus of some type got me. This morning I ran the System Mechanic from AOL...no luck. Then I ran Avast check and several others. No luck....then i ran the free AOL Anti Virus app which took about 30 minutes. When I came back down to mu computer every thing was in perfect working order. I assume the AOL app fixed my computer and I am so thankful. I have gone into some adult sites before and received alerts but once rebooting all was well. Whatever hit me this time was more severe, My wife was going to get a Shtz Tze puppy for Christmas but I am not going back to that web site. Thanks for all of the great support from AOL. I hope this message gets to the right department. Robert Doyle.....member for over 25 years.
