Slightly related, on our home desktop Kapersky recently expired and the pop ups telling us to renew and threatening grave damage were unrelenting. My wife decided to get rid of Kapersky (you know, Russians) and go with a difference virus protection.

Wow. Getting Kapersky out of our computer was almost impossible and God knows what they did with any data they still had access to. Finally, she had a service recommended by my IT friends remote in and rebuild our entire system. I used to be technologically astute, on the bleeding edge of innovation. Today I celebrate when I can get the damn computer to turn on without issue. What a racket.
