Well that's a coincidence - I'm now getting intermittent freezing!

I have got lots of "Uncaught ReferenceError".....amongst others, but all seems to work, so happy to ignore for the moment!

Thousands of PC users across the UK are swarming to claim a system that has gone viral in the last 24 hours. This new system is protecting people’s computers from hackers, unwanted software, instantly speeding up performance and saving people thousands in repair costs.

By Sarah Hansworth, Web Life Advice – Technician Sarah Hansworth investigates a free scan that has just gone viral in the UK.

If you live in the UK and have a Windows computer that is older than 6 months old, not running how you would like it or want to increase your security then this may be the most important article you ever read.

Nope....I use Avast on my PC....free version. Uses less resources than AVG, imo. Not tried the above. They all try to upgrade you to the 'pay version' pretty quickly.

Mega Bucks - 22 Dec 2016 20:01 - 10973 of 11003

I use Avast premium and a Secure VPN server,ok its not free but the best setup that i have ever used.

I thought lap tops liked a mug of coffee, opposed to tea. The sugar I hear does the computer no good. Anyway back and running on a new DELL. :-))

The new Windows 10 Creator Update is now available for a manual download for PCs.

The following site tells you quite a bit about it, what's in it, and also how best to perform the download with a guide (the Update Assistant):

For the first time ever I have had a virus warning on my Android phone. I don't have any anti-virus installed but a message came up saying that IP address 31.50.177.99 contains a virus and that I should download an Android cleaner from Google.
I have checked the IP address with a Reputation Checker site but it has no data on address.
I don't particularly want to enter this IP address directly as it may be harmful. Any ideas on how to verify it or is this just a way for Google to get me to download a cleaner.....with the usual mandatory advertising attached?

ExecLine - 11 Jul 2017 15:25 - 10980 of 11003

Because you couldn't get any verification on the IP address, i would suggest you treat it as a scam.

That's what your average scam wants you to do, namely 'go somewhere and do a download and installation'.

I would try to research and find a good Android cleaner. eg. 'CCleaner for Android' and also the same for a good Android AV.

How about, say: Cleanmaster

HARRYCAT - 11 Jul 2017 17:33 - 10981 of 11003

Cheers Exec....I did have Avast antivirus software for Android installed, but it slowed the phone down so much that I uninstalled it.

EDIT.. I have installed Sophos for Android and it hasn't found the dodgy IP address on my phone......hmmmmm.

Here's a truly brilliant new 'Windows 10' website for you:

https://www.windowschimp.com/

If you like it, I would appreciate you say so on here.

Investoree - 31 Jul 2017 09:48 - 10983 of 11003

ExecLine I also find Gizmos Freeware site very useful for Windows and Android devices (sorry don't know how to post links but the website is www.techsupportalert.com/)

When I get back from the hospital I will explore your suggestion.

Anyone like Groupon?

Windows 10 Professional OEM Download with Key for £17.99

Memory Stick (or similar) required: 1GB RAM for 32-bit; 2GB for 64-bit
Required disk space for the OS: up to 20GB free disk space
Graphics card/screen resolution: 800 x 600 or higher

Is this deal of any use to MoneyAM users?

Is your software completely up to date?

You might like to try the new "Patch My PC Updater", a FREE software updater from 'LifeWire'.

Check out the Review(s) for it for yourself. I think it's excellent. More, including the download: HERE

If you do download this, don't forget to do it carefully and make sure as with all downloads, that you don't include for any crappy unwanted add-ons to also be installed with it. ie. Watch those ticky boxes!

That said, on launching the program it shows all your software by category in a list:

Anything that shows 'Green' is OK. Anything that shows 'Red' needs updating (these are automatically box ticked for you). And here's a thing, anything that shows 'Black' isn't even yet installed. The total of Green, Red and Black currently adds up to a total of 302 different programs. So that's quite nice.

If you check out LifeWire's web site, there's tons and tons of potentially useful stuff.
