Dear Valued Users,
It's with a heavy heart that we announce the permanent closure of StepTalk.org on August 31st, 2025.
This decision wasn't an easy one. For over twenty years, StepTalk has been a source of support for stepparents around the world! However, over the years, the costs associated with maintaining and upgrading the site to remain secure, meet current standards and maintain availability have become unsustainable.
We are incredibly grateful for your support, contributions and the community you've helped us build. Your engagement has made StepTalk.org a special place and we cherish the memories and connections made here.
We would especially like to thank Aniki for volunteering to be a moderator and for caring so much.
Thank you for being a part of our journey and we wish you all the best.
Sincerely,
Dawn and The StepTalk Team

I work in IT. Do you have any
I work in IT. Do you have any antivirus or antispyware/malware programs on your computer right now?
For antivirus, I like Microsoft Essentials or AVG Free antivirus. Make sure you only have ONE antivirus program as they do not like to play well with each other.
For antispyware/malware, I use MalwareBytes free edition.
For most crap, I like CCleaner (formerly CrapCleaner) that will delete files that can clog up your hard drive like temp internet files and download files, etc.
Thanks guys! I wound up
Thanks guys! I wound up doing a factory restore on the laptop last night, and by the time I got done, Hubby was home. That's why I didn't comment last nigh!
Thanks for all the advice. Currently I am using Norton's and the Google thing. I will have to download the other later!
