I am a computer dummy. For many years I was susceptible to causing all sorts of problems by clicking on things I should not have clicked on. In the earlier stages I often needed help to get me out of situations I'd create with my itchy clicking finger. But then I discovered "Go Back," which was the forerunner of Windows System Restore. Between my becoming progressively less inclined to click on booby traps and the ability to rescue myself by using Restore I'm rarely affected by booby traps anymore.
I use Windows 10, Home Edition. Today I got trapped. I clicked on what appeared to be a quick and simple way to track a package and found that I'd downloaded a Google Chrome utility that inhabited my system and which popped up every time I wanted to load a second blank page -- and I couldn't delete it (sonofabitch!)
But System Restore worked its magic once again and has rescued me from the old feeling of trapped helplessness. There really should be a warning to computer dummies about these "just click here" traps -- that make me mad enough to really hurt somebody. . .
God bless System Restore!"
