Ah! What antivirus program is that? And it's so strong that it won't let

unplug your computer instead?

My computers are all on battery power, UPS (uninterruptible power

system is protected from an unplugging failure and cannot be stopped,
be stopped, be stopped, be stopped, be stopped...

Given my lousy experience with AT&T internet (I've now switched to

the Wifi from each of my neighbors.

My problems now seem to be solved, but I wonder: What security risks

Would you not just do without internet for a day or so? Or use your mobile

I generally did that, with some modifications, but there were times
work-arounds were difficult.  On one occasion I had written an article
that I needed to send out before a deadline that evening. I took my
laptop to a public library branch and sent the article in from there,
but it wasn't very convenient.

 Can your phone not be used as hotspot an article isn’t likely to have
stressed the data connection or any data charges.

Nope. My cell phone can't be used as a hot spot. I have a very low end, inexpensive cell plan, since it's all I normally need. I imagine that preventing hot spot use is one of the ways they keep costs down.
