I think it's something else though. I need to renew my sub for the extra Avast product I use this month so maybe they are doing their annoying ploy to remind me. I always wait until the last two weeks to pay up and I use a prepaid CC and they keep trying to take payment from them when there's nothing there and sending me emails telling me the payment failed. Joke's on them, I do that so they can't just help themselves to a payment without my direction. Not into that so everything online is a prepay CC.

I'll be interested in what your grandson might have to say, though. Most of the best techs I've ever worked with were decades younger, they know their shit.

Thanks!
