Auto updates did NOT change the "format" of your computer. Neither did responding to a craigslist ad.

Auto updates are only minor security and bug fixes.

---If your icons are just in different places, it's because YOU mistakenly re-arranged them. Be more careful with clicking your mouse.

---If the computer basically looks the same but there are some new things appearing, it is because YOU installed some piece of software, probably by mistake. You need to be VERY careful where you click because some pop-up windows can't be blocked and they contain confusing wording and buttons that try to trick you into installing their software.

Example: "Click OK to not install the Google toolbar in all your browsers. Otherwise click Cancel."

Notice it says *NOT*. Your natural instinct is to click Cancel, which in this case installs the software.

You also need to be careful when installing updates to existing software. They like to "piggyback" other programs in with the updates, and use confusing wording to fool you into installing them. Google Chrome is one piece of software that likes to piggyback with other popular Internet tools. Even after saying no, Google Chrome has forced its way on to my PC twice now.

---If the computer has a completely different look and feel, that is because YOU took it to the computer guy and he upgraded your operating system. A new operating system is like a new car. They change the user interface in an attempt to improve it and make it easier to use. They change the way things look because studies have shown that most people get bored with the same old thing and need to look at something new from time to time.

Today's Featured Article - A Farmall Story - by Ed Meadors. The year was 1978. Our young family had recently moved to rural Chesapeake, Virginia to a plot of land which would finally allow us to realize our dreams of a huge garden, critters and more lawn and pasture than we would ever use! We needed a TRACTOR; not a riding mower or tractor wannabe, but a real TRACTOR. The answer to our needs materialized in the form of a '44 Farmall A, complete with cultivators, discs, single plow, a 5ft.Woods belly mower and one, mounted spare 9.00x24 rear wheel. ...
