Cypriots don’t want to pay for software…if you ask for an additional $100-150 for the operating system license and then $300 odd for Ms Office, you’ll get thrown out the real windows! :lol:

I know about Cypriots not wanting to pay for software, it has been the same since I started in the business here in 1976!

Computers they can see, but what is this software bollocks!

I had this in the past but it expired and I did not renew it since then ---- until I got this virus which thanks god did not damage my laptop and is still alive for 9 years now . This new software appears much better and most importantly its silent unlike Norton which I used to receive so many disturbing messages on the screen when it was functioning.
