I've started to get messages from Microsoft saying virus protection updates are ending for VISTA, maybe CHROME too.
I had my VISTA based HP computer into a Microsoft retail store for cleaning and upgrades last year [I posted about that some time ago]. I was told my drivers are out of date and could not be upgraded/replaced. That prevented the store team from giving me a free upgrade to 8.1, and in turn blocks me from Windows 10, neither of which 'improvements' I give a hoot. I don't need nor want another computer.
I started using CHROME when IE got really,really slow about two years ago, before my Microsoft retail store cleaning. By shutting off all CHROME "PLUG INS" everything works fine; From time to time I turn on ADOBE FLASH PLAYER to see something. I tried IE once, and it seemed to work after the cleaning.
[For those who don't know, apparently CHROME plug ins can conflict with either IE and other Windows software; lock ups while searching and while on websites is what I experienced. ]
So I am hesitant but not opposed to returning to IE; Who knows what troubles will arise. I run Malwarebytes Anti Malware and CCleaner weekly and so far that has kept me in good condition.
Anything obvious I ought to do?
Thanks
