Trojans and BackOrifice

Hi Dennis, Thank you for asking. My computer appears to be working well now; cpu is normal and the system goes to sleep as expected.  Firefox did not throw up black screens so I read all the post again, took the advice of the security output and downloaded the suggested updates.  The edge browser is now working well.  I thank you for all your assistance in resolving this issue. Thanks, Debbie

You are very welcome.

I am pleased to hear that everything is ok now.
