Hello again and thank you. I've bookmarked VirusTotal. I'm looking into UblockOrigin. The Firewall page, I don't understand. Is there an installation button there?@Manny Maniago

UblockOrigin
Scan anything you download at VirusTotal. Before you execute on your machine.
Do not open any emails you are not certain who they come from.
The Firewall page, I don't understand. Is there an installation button there?
Got it. With this I can't be hacked again? Thank you.
Defender won't update definitions anymore, I guess because Windows no longer supports 8. Also, now I see error "Windows 8 defender has been turned off and isn't monitoring your computer anymore." I can't even find the defender service in Action Center. Firewall is ON.Windows defender and firewall - built in
and
YOU.
