has taken the post seriously and is to get advice on it from some real
savvy computer people, I'll let you know the outcome as this is quite
worrying. We have a lot of financial matters on our computers; the

made earlier will be pursued by someone as this is quite dangerous if
it is true.

Let's be clear about this.

You should always be careful, and there are many sources of good advice.

Ignore fools like Mike Crowe who purport to advise you. As Sacha says,
either his original story was a lie or his denial of it is a lie. In either
case his opinion is worthless, and his gibbering excuses now are just plain
embarrassing. His family would be ashamed if they could see it.
