Joe I never posted in this thread until recently. I have a soft spot in my heart for DIY artists and have bankrolled a couple dozen, I'd guess, in the last couple of years alone. But all of those people make do with what they have on hand or can easily and cheaply acquire. From what I'm reading you have the fear of god of computer viruses from fake malware programs that you bought in the past and want to waste money on an unnecessary computer upgrade when a perfectly fine computer is lying there.
This is not the kind of artist who accomplishes his or her goals.
