1,755 PointsLast week I tried to download wamp and somehow picked up a ton of ad and malware so my computer was down.
So my computer was down for the better part of a week. Turns out that I did download the appropriate software. I think. How do I determine which is the correct software to access and how do I begin and run.

On the other hand you might have downloaded from the wrong source and gotten all that nasty stuff there. Goodluck!
