WINDOWS 7 IS LOOSING EXCEL / WORD FILES???
by Guest MarjattaNBXD- 0 replies
- 394 views
Hi, I have been experiencing this problem for actually almost 2 years (on two different laptops, both with Windows 7): I save a file by clicking at the appropriate icon, often however leaving the files open till tomorrow (though not always). Well, when that tomorrow comes, yesterdays version is nowhere: not on My Documents, not in Wastebasket nor on the menory stick where I nowadays save my stuff. This certainly does not occur daily but several times a month. I haven't asked about this previously as I tend to think that Windows cannot have such a terrible flaw but I can... This time I am a full 100% certain that I saved the work I did on Friday an…

by Guest ImaniMD- 0 replies

Thanks for previous posts about this but as those threads are now closed I wished to start this one to add to the history so that newbies are aware that Wajam is either piggy-backing other software or perhaps even already installed. I have just bought an ISUS computer, tried to log into my facebook account and wam! This thing is there taking over my computer. Prior to that my computer was 'resetting' for hours. Little did I know that was probably the Wajam trojan taking over my computer. Well having read previous posts I have tried the uninstall function and will send an email to them - not that I'll expect them to answer it. It will be interesting to see whether the uni…

Add additional return code for MpCmdRun custom scan
by Guest [RvdH]- 0 replies
- 526 views
in MSE there is a option to scan files by commandline using MpCmdRun, the only issue i have (false positives) is related to the returncodes. If a file cannot be scanned because for example illegal characters are in its filename MSE returns 2, meaning a threat/malware is found or additional user action is required. Would be nice to see an additional return code, for example 1 if additional user action is required and return 2 ONLY if a threat/malware is found Hope you consider adding this functionality Kind regards, Continue reading...

A report from a team at Facebook that was first published in a scientific journal earlier this month reveals that the social network ran secret psychological experiments on 600,000 users without their awareness. The report, published in the Proceedings Of The National Academy Of Sciences, stated that back in January 2012, Facebook changed those users' news feeds to highlight either positive or negative posts from their friends. The paper stated: When positive expressions were reduced, people produced fewer positive posts and more negative posts; when negative expressions were reduced, the opposite pattern occurred. These results indicate that emotions expressed…
