I'm probably around the age of said grandson... My experience might be a little less than Dave, but I know what I am doing.
I wouldn't say you are being paranoid Dave.... It's a distinct possibility.
I've had a pair of computers in the family that was destroyed by virus', and they can be really, really bad. One of them was destroyed outright, while the other took seven years... and ended with 99% corruption... That's because one virus caused it to not be able to overwrite data..
There are a lot of bad viruses that are easy to get online.... Always use a good firewall and security software!
