PC & MAC CLINIC - On line problem solving. (CPU)

There are some Screenshots available on the KeePass web site but they don't really give you a good idea of what you actually get, IMHO.

As it's Free, I would strongly suggest you download it and try it out by making a few actual bono fido entries for, say 6 diffferent web sites or so. Just for your own reassurance initially, you could make these non-financial web sites.

Then have a real life play around with it to see how it works.

1. Opening the URL of one of the web sites with just a click.
2. Copying over a username with a 'right click and select' (which lasts for only 10 seconds in your memory cache and then disintegrates within the cache)
3. Similarly copying over a password (these also only similarly last for 10 seconds in memory cache)

Cheers Exec. This is a link to Pro / Con / Bottom Line.

They also recommend LastPass 2.0 and Dashlane 1.1.

Evening.

I have just had W10 trying to download onto this computer, it was quite insistant, and only by luck I have managed to delay its download.

The thing is, it's coming back Monday whether I like it or not: ok, it says you can go back, but shit, its forcing its way onto your comp in the first place.

How do I stop it, cos I don't want it.

Many thanks (non techy)

Pull the plug out.

ExecLine - 19 May 2016 18:08 - 10945 of 11003

The persistent reminder to move up to W10 comes from a Windows Update.

Windows Updates can be found via the Control Panel which is readily shown after a click on the Start Button. Here's how to find the particular pesky Windows 10 Update reminder and then uninstall it:

Many thanks EL.

I've zapped the bastard :-)

Fred1new - 19 May 2016 19:47 - 10947 of 11003

Didn't feel a thing!

Like a bad smell, it came back again.

Winsupersite doesent get rid of it all, and some of the junk is lurking waiting to re-activate.


This site seems to do the biz, takes out all the components including the icon:

Seems to work.

If you're still having problems with the Win 10 upgrade you might like to look at:
http://techne.alaya.net/?p=12499
As well as deleting/disabling as suggested it is important to disable automatic updates, remember to update manually now and then and then check all the offered updates by clicking on "more info" and reading the web site that pops up.
If an update says a security issue has been discovered that update can be allowed but be particularly suspicious of those that say they address "issues" in windows. These often hide the Win 10 and telemetry junk.
I have not had any problems since adopting this procedure several months ago.

There are quite a few PC problems, that are caused by not having Up to Date Drivers for your PC's hardware.

Q. So how do you know whether the hardware drivers are up to date?
A. Do a scan. Sweep the whole PC for ALL the hardware drivers and see if they ARE up to date.

Q. With what - Oh, and by the way, if it needs a software download it must come from a reliable source and be FREE?
A. This one is pushed and recommended by Microsoft for their clients to use and uses their own bank of over 200,000 hardware drivers from all the manufacturers. It's also kept pretty much up to date too.

I've just had a phone call from my son who for some reason likes Apple.

He streamed a football match from some dubious site yesterday and thinks he has picked up a virus.

I don't speak apple - so any pointers?

ExecLine - 23 Oct 2016 10:23 - 10953 of 11003

I believe antivirus is built in with Apple's updates.

A bit of 'Googling' tells me a good program for an Apple Mac Pro is called AdwareMedic but it does need the machine to have at least OS X 10.7

It's Free and gets rid of Adware and Malware - so download it and do a scan, would be my advice.

EDIT: AdwareMedic is now called 'Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for Mac'. So that's nice, isn't it? :-)

skinny - 23 Oct 2016 10:27 - 10954 of 11003

Thanks - I'll pass it on.

Another of my offspring with a problem!

This time, its with outlook (something I don't use).

They have 2 inboxes set up (and have had for a couple of years).

One of the inboxes isn't showing all new emails, although they show up when I log in to Office 365.

If I hit F9, the other inbox gets refreshed, but not the one that I'm in.

Any pointers please.

dreamcatcher - 04 Nov 2016 17:53 - 10956 of 11003

No computer expert skinny but found this.

ExecLine - 04 Nov 2016 17:54 - 10957 of 11003

A quick 'Google' tells me:

However, in the end, I went into: Account settings/email/change account/more setting advanced/folders. Then, where it says Root Folder Path I typed in "Inbox" and suddenly my inbox works and I can transfer emails between folders.

skinny - 04 Nov 2016 17:59 - 10958 of 11003

Thanks - a bit more of a delve and it seems that the "missing emails" are from one email address.

These show when logged in via Office 365 but not in outlook - the latter shows them in the new message count but not in the list.

I assume they are hidden somehow?

skinny - 04 Nov 2016 18:18 - 10959 of 11003

I've managed to "find" them by setting up a search folder for the sender - still not sure why they don't appear in the inbox..

Windows 10 (64bit)

I've been getting a lot of 'Chrome Browser Freezing' of late. AV scans and Anti-Malware scans showed nothing.

Browser freezing is extremely annoying. Sometimes, I couldn't even close the browser down and had to revert to using Task Manager to sort it.

My research on solving this problem has led me to first completely uninstall it, which I did extremely comprehensively with IObit Uninstaller.

I am following a suggestion, which others have found does the trick, and am now trying 'Google Chrome Beta', which I downloaded from:
