Thanks. I did a scan with Avira, and it found nothing, so I figured it's probably OK. It seemed weird to get the alert on two different computers.
Simon: The decision saved your life. Zoe: Won't happen again, sir. Mal: Good. And thanks. I'm grateful. Zoe: It was my pleasure, sir.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Well, I've decided that in January - assuming I get an actual raise and not one like last year's where my take-home pay went DOWN after the "raise" kicked in - that I'll upgrade to an actual smartphone. I've been using my old flip phone (try not to laugh - I'll get enough of that when I turn it in).
Any suggestions for which phone? Basically, I want to make phone calls and do a little texting; my hair salon has gone to text-only reminders and the dumbphone won't let me reply. When I try to hit "c" to confirm, it autocorrects to "Cab" ... NOT the message I want to send.

Well, if you are looking for just the basics, I'm pretty happy with my Moto E that costs like $50.

Todd, I used a flip phone until February of this year. I use a Moto G, which is either the model before Gud's Moto E, or the one after it, and it's great for basic stuff.

The Moto G (and probably the Moto E) is also one of the smallest smartphones, dimenson-wise. I don't know if that makes a difference to you or not. Most definitely bigger than a flip phone, but smaller than most smartphones out there.

In this case, size really doesn't matter (snerk).

Dad has a Moto ...not sure which one. I highly advise you get a casE for your phone. And if the case doesn't have a built in screen protector one of those as well.
I drop my phone a lot.
I have a Speck case with a Zagg glass shield and I had to replace the shield recently. . I sat on the phone and the shield cracked bit not the actual phone. Fir full protection Otterbox is good and they have a warranty on their cases.

The big smartphones are too unwieldy for my tiny hands. It's weird.

Thrive to spite them
I have a Note 4 which is one of the larger phones. I got it party because if the size but partly because I thought I'd use the stylus and note features. I dont.
However my eyes are at a stage where I don't need bifocals but to see far away I need a prescription that makes close things blurry. I don't always have to take off my glasses for my phone but when I was helping Dad with his phone I needed to take my glasses off.
This probably wouldn't be such an issue if I didn't use my phone more for the Internet than anything else.
