well I think I can finally get on the internet and NOT further endanger us (wife and my computer accounts), bank and (Lord) everything else.... Having your computer(s) 'captured' and all personal information is AWFUL and heck to get rid of.... thanks for asking after me.... Missed being on here but I was NOT going to expose anyone else to this carp that I just went through..
God Bless all of you who were posting and asking and the telephone calls.. Fred

Thanks to ya'll. Man, I think I can FINALLY rest about all of my personal accounts, email, credit cards and computers now. Expensive and time consuming. Now, the weather has changed and I'm looking forward to going fishing !!!!! God Bless

Welcome back!
I hate to hear about that! We're all susceptible to getting hacked due to doing so much buying, etc on the Internet! I buy almost everything online!
Any pearls of wisdom to share after going through something like this?

Well, I'm not real sure but, I am getting a VPN account. Personally protected account that constantly changed your IP address and encrypts information. I wouldn't wish what I just went through on anyone. Keep your PC's updated, good antivirus program and activated firewall....wish I could say more... Almost forgot, contact ALL THREE credit bureaus and have your accounts put on 'watch/monitoring' ....they will do that for at least three months if you request it.
God Bless

In memory of my childhood friend Dan Sterling, who taught me at an early age how to catch bream with a hand-line, and who unknowingly hooked me on fishing for life.
