So I wanted to spend my Halloween evening working on a doodle Miss Violet as a vampire but my mother's computer has caught some thing and I don't know what it is at the moment.
Seems it started a few days or a week ago when she noticed that the home page on Internet Explorer changed to a site she hadn't herd of. Some kind of a search site, it started with a C I think. When she showed me the problem she was getting like survey pop ups from our ISP. The whole things reeks of a virus and or a scam. Right now we have the computer doing a full system scan to see if it can find the problem and take care of it, as im writing this it as only found 21 tracking cookies.
I saw posts online about survey scams where they say you will get a free gift and then you get charged on your credit card. She didn't do the survey, but I have told her to keep an eye on her credit card to see if any thing weird happens. I dont know what she does on her computer, but I know she has downloaded a few different bluray player programs cuz her computer has a hard time playing them and we dont know why, she could have gotten some thing from one of them.
I know there are people out there that know this stuff far better then me, so I figured some one out there might have some info that could help us.

Should I stay
I was talking to a friend awhile back and he was thinking of celebrating 20 years of doing art online, and suggested I do the same. I had looked into it and I have been on DA for 21 years, more than half my life, but instead of celebrating I have been thinking of leaving DA. See the people in charge of DA doesn't care about art any more, if they ever did. I keep getting notifications about how awesome it is that these AI D-bags made thousands in just a year selling their images. The most I have ever gotten from DA in terms of acknowledgement is them telling me to go say hi to newbies cuz I have been here so long. I don't cuz as this point I feel like I would just tell them to get out now. Also have to deal with moronic bots on an almost daily basest. "I like your art, I wanna use it as inspiration, i will pay you money" my "blocked" section is exploding with these assholes. I haven't decided on if I will leave but I might at least just start not posting my art here any more. I will
What about Cash app?
People keep asking me about commissions and the thing is I kind of stopped doing them because I sort of stopped trusting Paypal. A friend of mine though uses Cash app for their commissions and seems to really like it, so I have been thinking of trying that. I was also wondering do any of you know any thing about cash app? Like is it really good for commissions? Is there any thing i need to know before using it for commissions? Any info would be helpful thank you.
Damn bots
Due to the absurd amount of bots I get in my DMs and notes I don't respond to them any more. I do look but seeing as I'm never sure what's a bot and what isn't I'm just refusing to respond to any unsolicited DMs and notes. Also just so any one wants to ask in a note or DM. No I don't do requests, and no i'm not taking commissions, my commission status can be found at the top my page. I only do commissions on my Patreon now, and I dont do requests cuz thats not fair to the people that pay me for art. I also only do art trades with people Im close to, as in I have know them for many years. Ok I think that's all, sorry if any one was made to feel ignored I know how bad that feels that being said until things improve that's how it has to be.
A friend is open for commissions
:Before anyone asks, No I'm not open for commissions. I just want to help promote a friend of mine who is open for commissions. They mostly make 3d images, so check out there stuff and consider commissioning them if you like what they do https://www.deviantart.com/yasha-k

If you don't mind doing a little manual malware removal, Microsoft's Process Explorer is a godsend. It's like the Task Manager, except it shows a lot more processes, and shows the drive path to the program. So if you can kill the process, you can delete the file. If you can't kill it, you can usually find and remove it from the registry, then delete it after rebooting.
