Our Location today is Tecumseh, Ontario,
Canada.
We seemed
more relaxed and able to sleep the second night spent with our folded bedsheet
as a room darkening curtain. We even managed to sleep in until 8:00 this
morning but when we woke we were ready to start making more progress towards our
Fulltiming Adventure. Once breakfast and our morning reading was
finished we teamed together packing two more boxes that will find their way to
our Climate Controlled Storage Unit. Even though those boxes were well
packed they were far from full and the cupboards were not quite empty but we
still have to eat some meals here. The time used to do this today will not have
to be wasted on our final day in the apartment.
With all
that completed before 11:00 Kathy busied herself in the kitchen baking Muffins
and Cookies that she had purchased mixes for and did not want to bring small
partially full packages to the trailer. I busied myself adding our new Norton
Anti-Virus to our computers figuring that using our unlimited WiFi
connection made more sense than overloading our limited MiFi once we are in the
trailer. That was a wise choice because for the next few hours we’d have no use
to our computers.
When the
same fault appeared on our new laptops that are barely two and two and a half
months old I called tech support. Marc found that both computers that had McAfee
Antivirus were having the same problems and had caused our computers to upload
a ton of Errors. It was finally determined that the Errors were being imported by
someone that was using our modem for free internet. We have a secure modem but
we had been Hacked and for quite some time. Luckily both our computers
are still under warrantee with Microsoft but we needed more protection
than what the Antivirus would give us. I had an Internet Modem Security
added to both computers which will protect them not only on our secure
connections but if we are traveling we can use unsecured connections worry-free
along the way. It was nearly 1:00 by the time we had a short lunch but the
computers were still being worked on remotely. It was nearly 2:30 by the time
we were able to get back to using our machines but they are working much faster
with no hesitations.
We had a
number of phone calls to make and it was nearly 4:00 by the time I checked our
downstairs mailbox. Was it any surprise that I found coupons for Subway inside.
We have plans to accomplish things tomorrow along with an appointment but it is
all looking good for being on schedule to our Fulltiming Adventure. Thanks for following along and feel free
to leave a comment. Be Safe and Enjoy!
It’s about time.

Someone hacked our MIFI once at a campground. I actually was able to find out who it was. Our password was really unique, but he told Paul he had a program he bought off the Internet that could hack passwords. He was right. He promised not to do it again. We changed our password, and he kept to his word.
ReplyDeleteBeing hacked is no fun. One of the first things I did when I bought my new computer was get rid of McAfee. On a limited connection, the last thing I want is a program that constantly downloads stuff.
ReplyDeleteI found it cheaper to use the Hotspot on my phone than the MIFI.
