A few years ago I purchased MS Office Professional and have been using it, no problem. Today I tried to download an excel attachment and my very cleaver MS software icon pops up and tells me I require the CD to reinstall. The same thing has happened when I tried using PowerPoint and much worse with Word.
It shut down my whole system and I lost information.

I have repeatedly informed MS about this happening with MS Internet explorer, when it appears one tries to watch which sites you visit and capture ones information. Dear MS, this is illegal and against Data Protection. In frustration I am sending this and will continue pasting on as many sites as possible and also spreading by word of mouth. I am FED UP of this big brother attitude. I presume this is deliberate. If it is not your fault then MS, I do sincerely apologize.
