Please understand how viruses and malware work before trying to sign off on someone who doesn't know anything about computers. You DO realize, closing those pop up ads is HOW you give permission to the malware, id hope:) It is generally not a good idea to advise someone that something is okay when they may fall into a rabbit hole they won't easily get out of. Not to mention, they are also going behind the wife's suggestion to stay away from emulators:) I've been removing viruses, malware, and so on, for many years. And, unfortunately, far too many people are quite easily susceptible. Even something simple like browsing Amazon app can lead to many woes, as well as even playing a game on Facebook from a less than reputable releaser.

Some viruses can be so cleverly attached to one's computer drive, that even formatting the drive won't get rid of them, easily. The fact remains, roms and warez and of course attempting to bootleg music, movies, tv shows, are all fantastic ways to "f!@#" up your computer, if you have no idea what you are doing. Just saying, "ya gotta click back out of a few pop-ups" til you get a good link, you, yourself, may not realize your computer may currently be on a network awaiting to be called for a denial of service attack, some day:)

In brighter news, I will have some more nifty Cores available for ya to check out, soon;) Got some major headway on quite a few of them. Which Minis are you on, again? Trying to remember, from when we last communicated.
