I'm using the default windows defender, nothing like Avast or McAfee installed. I do have CCcleaner and Malwarebytes on my laptop but they are not in the startup list and only rarely do I ever run them... CCCleaner I haven't run for months and Malwarebytes a few weeks ago... it doesn't correspond in time to losing my news groups subscription (in my somewhat uninformed opinion. ) Thanks for the reply.
