Welcome! To another week of great books! Hope you had a GREAT week of reading fun! I always do! This is ALWAYS posted by NOON every Sunday and sometimes earlier!
BEWARE!
Last week Google Chrome crashed on me. This week Google Chrome crashed on me AGAIN! Why?
I GOT A VIRUS! Yes, I DO have the BEST virus/malware/and everything else 'ware which we need in order to just use a computer if we go on the Internet, but this one is a sneaky little thing! I happen to have the Geek Squad and ALL of the technicians ready and waiting for me, IF needed! I needed them! They were he ones who informed me all of this was a virus. BUMMER! DON'T FRET! YOUR COMPUTER 'CAN' BE SAVED!
First, allow me to inform you HOW YOU GET THIS VIRUS! (The Geek Squad took control over my computer, andAL,
It can get you in 2 ways!
This is the first way this virus gets you:
1. Do you get notifications down in the right side of your computer or wherever they may be located? I do. Mine is at the bottom. I got a notification to update my computer system to Windows 8.1 - DON'T DO IT THAT WAY UNLESS IT'S THROUGH THE MICROSOFT WEBSITE! Through Microsoft, it takes HOURS to update to 8.1 and NOT less than 30 seconds like this one I downloaded did! We are generally used to Updates only taking about 30 seconds, so at first we don't give it any thought. Then . . . s l o w l y it weaves it's way into your computer and it's A VIRUS! It takes less than 30 seconds to attack . . . Google Chrome! Eventually Chrome will start acting up, doing weird things, not loading your pages (remember dial-up? NO!!!!!) Yes! It's SNEAKY! It bypasses ANY virus program because it comes across as an Update! SNEAKY!!!
I clicked on it, and in less than 30 seconds, I had installed a virus that wiped OUT my Google Chrome drive! Yep!
2. The 2nd way this virus gets you is someone supposedly calls you on the phone posing AS Microsoft to inform you that you NEED to update to Windows 8.1. They give you the link to do it. You freak out because they CALLED YOU! You feel like you HAVE to download this, so you do. Guess what? IT'S A VIRUS!! Microsoft would NEVER CALL YOU ON THE PHONE! This is what the Geek Squad tells me. Don't fall for this one, either!
So, I HOPE that has helped to inform you so what happened to me (#1) doesn't happen to you!

UPCOMING REVIEWS:
The Collector of Dying Breaths by M J Rose - which I tried to post THIS PAST WEEK, but my computer crashed! Watch for it coming this week!
Secrets in the Ice by Rick Gangraw is coming! I read this book a while ago, and forgot to write the review! I must write it! It was a GREAT book because it took place in my home state in the UP! The UP is the Upper Pennisula of Michigan! We call it the UP (pronounced Yoo-P) I know! It's funny sounding, but that's how we say it! We pronounce it by the name of the letters. It's just shortened, that's all! The author even mentions it in his book!
A Shining Light (A Home to Amana Book 3) by Judith Miller This is the book I was in a Blog Tour with, but LOST the Blog Tour Company! Lost my post date and everything. That happened a few weeks ago when my computer crashed. So . . . it's time to write the review! Even though this is Book 3, it CAN be read as a stand alone, as that is how I read it!
So watch for these coming this week!
