Linda's Computer

She downloaded a computer program that was supposed to protect her computer. Now it keeps telling her that her computer is in danger from viruses. I told her that I thought it was the dumb program. Anyway, she tried to trash it and it will not be trashed. Any ideas. This is Spaz's mom. Jim Garrett. I think  she may be your facebook friend.

Myrna, I had an advertisement come for something called Mackeeper. I downloaded the trial, but it seemed to slow my computer down. I read the reviews and I am not so sure I want to purchase it. Sounds like they don't have the bugs worked out of it yet. What is your take on it or have you had any experience with it?
