Jerry, there seems to be a virus that launches when I try to download a lesson. Is it on my end only or is there something wrong on your end? When I pushed “start download” my Google homepage switched to a MyWay page that I had to uninstall. The sales transaction won’t go through.

It must be on your end Katie. I’ve replied to you by email. There is no ‘Start Download’ button on my site. You add the product to your cart and then checkout with Paypal.
