I agree Gypsy, it is NOT my laptop computer that has a bug, or my iPad. It's a bug in Rogers, my internet provider. I open my mail in Yahoo. It started with a friend sending a note with a link, and I clicked on the link. Big mistake. My friend hadn't sent the e-mail at all, his address book had been infiltrated. Now my Rogers address book has been infilitrated and a worm is sending out links from my e-mail address to friends telling them to click on a link, but the e-mails aren't from me. I just hate the thought of my friends being inconvenienced.

I know I could just stop using that e-mail provider and cancel it. And set up a gmail account. And start fresh. But all my files and pictures and address books are with Rogers. It will take hundreds of hours to transfer pictures and files and contact lists. And I don't want to transfer the bug by mistake.

So that is why I think I need to pay a Computer Expert to take care of me. And I definitely only want someone who has been referred by a friend.
