Shoot Yeah Posts: 4273 Location: Where you need a paddle... Oregon!	I'm completely clueless about computers - other than being able to navigate my way around it for recipes, BHW, and Facebook. I keep getting reminders that the free virus protection I got is expiring. I think it expires today? Anyway, it popped up on my screen and I followed the link. Do I need to buy this? https://www-ssl.bestbuy.com/services/geeksquad/renewals?ContractId=1...

Take a Picture Posts: 12842	Is it McAfee? That is probably what was not the computer when you bought it. Doesn't cost much to renew. Good to have
