May 2023

Reinstalled software and after three hours i tried it again. still getting notifications. called back and we again began search for where this was hid. Did not take as long as I spotted the site name in one area we searched. Then had to go to notifications and remove that site from sending notifications. Removed all sites with the exception of Democratic Underground. Now i just have to get my passwords on this computer and I will be back in business.
Thanks for all the tips/advice.
