Hum, well, maybe it was just me and my clock --- I put a new battery in, and it spun more, then it stopped at 12:00. So I set it in a window (for stronger signal) and sometime later I found it was at the right time again. :-/

The ransomware is already back in operation, so make sure you're patched.

Maybe it is time to dump MS OS and for someone to come up with something new. Something for which security it is initial and primary concern. MS started these problems by trying to make it early OS too open. MS is trying to get the genie back into the bottle with OS10, but it may be too late.

When I see this thread reminds me of this:

https://www.youtube.com/results?sear...re+commercial+

I was gonna look for the TV commercial that I unfortunately always see on my TV but even youtube does not have it. This Chinese guy talks about ransomware, avast comparison which I use.

He said they are 100% American and I was like - you're freaking Chinese! Also when they talk about a virus that they 'defend' for you. In the back of my mind, sure coz you made the virus yourself, douche.
