I suggest a clean install of your computers and your smartphones. For your smartphone: don't use the factory reset, make sure that its firmware gets flashed. Most viruses or malware don't wait within your computer's bios for a new opportunity. Don't allow "autostart" for usb sticks or other data storages. Use cds or dvds provided by someone you trust to check on your computers and then do a clean install. If you need any advice mail me off list. Maybe I can help with this. ~Andrea On 5/30/2016 12:23 AM, Percy Blakeney wrote: > I did just that. TWICE.
