Hi Everyone, DATE: 5/17/2014 It is ridiculous to have any DRIVER PC Scan in order to download anything. Some if it destroys my PC the way I purposely have set it up to be! Scanning for missing shortcuts? These scans are stupid to me because some drives are selectively ON and others are selectively OFF as to get my PC started right in MY way it is set up. What you people do not know, is that even some personal files and folders are not to be deleted and I should have the option to bypass all these scans, It's is my business how I use my PC and what I keep in it, and I do not want some dumb program telling I have 1368 driver errors or so because it slows down my PC, I…

Windows 8 is the worst program I have encountered on a computer. I have saved up money to purchase a new computer to find that windows 8 is backwards and difficult to use. My new computer that I have been needing and waiting for is a huge headache now - a soon to be paper weight or donation. It takes me forever to do the simplest tasks. If I wanted a tablet then I would have purchased one. Microsoft should give you the option to downgrade back to windows 7. Huge waste of lots of money and time. Continue reading...

I can't download Windows 8 Pro using the Windows 8 upgrade software located at the Microsoft site. In spite of my product key being accepted, I always ended up with this message. I tried clean boot, disabling the firewall and disabling the antivirus. I can't use a direct cable for my internet because my LAN seems to be broken, thus, I connect to the internet using wifi. I tried chatting with a a help service at Microsoft but she suggested nothing new. Hope someone can help me. Continue reading...

I'm getting various blue screen errors and random shutdowns and restarts. I've seen driver_irql_not_less_or_equal errors, system_service_exceptions and no named blue screen errors one after another. I did a complete factory reset of my PC after this began happening this morning and the errors persist even through that. My computer won't stay up long enough for me to download the 50+ windows updates I need or install my latest video drivers. I also receive "internet explorer had stopped working" messages every time I open an window. I did notice something about a memory dump file while one of the blue screens was up. Could my RAM or HD be dying? Above is a potat…

Hello dear community, Specs: 2.4Ghz quad core, 6Gb DDR3, internal graphic card, 580GB HDD, HP Laptop is all of a sudden running really slow. I was hoping there was an issue with one of the drivers because it slowed down right after an WIN update. I restored the PC to factory condition after checking for malware with several online scans. After the long process of formating it actually worked. Then the updates started and i had to eventualy reboot it. After the reboot it went back to being very slow. I again formated the C: and tried it in offline mode. It didnt work this time. I ran several memory, HDD tests and tried defragmenting 3 times, tri…

** I have already logged in to fss.live.com and https://familysafety.microsoft.com. This solution does not remedy the issue.** When attempting to use the Family Safety features of Windows 7, it first asks me to log in to Live. When I do, I get Error Code 8004B3E9 and it asks me to 'sign in to account.live.com and accept the Terms of Use.' However, when doing so, there are no Terms of Use for me to accept. I also go to fss.live.come and familysaftely.microsoft.com and no option for Terms of Use is available to accept. In addition I've tried different browsers. I can login to Live.com and view my account easily, but no Terms of Use prompt appears for me …

Hello dear community, coming here and asking you guys for help is actually my last resort. My HP laptop with decent specs (2.4Ghz, 6Gb DDR3, etc.) is all of a sudden running really slow. I was hoping there was an issue with one of the drivers because it slowed down right after an WIN update. I restored the PC to factory condition after checking for malware with several online scans. After the long process of formating it actually worked. Then the updates started and i had to eventualy reboot it. After the reboot it went back to being very slow. I again formated the C: and tried it in offline mode. It didnt work this time. I ran several memory, HDD tests and tri…

I am running 8.1 and I get the message "Real-time protection couldn't be turned on" and "This opetation returned because the timeout period expired." and windows defender defaults to off. I have no other antivirus or anti spyware installed and I have tried all the solutions I have seen. I installed malewarebytes to see if I possibly had a virus which caused this, but I uninstalled it after I didn't find anything significant. Please help. Continue reading...

I have MSEE set to run a full scan every Saturday at 9am. Over the past couple of weeks I have been getting a warning on MSEE stating at the top when you open the application: PC Status: Potentially Unprotected (this is in an orange line across the top), then just below on the 'home' tab it has a picture of a monitor with the screen being orange & an exclamation point in the center of the monitor. Next to the monitor it says "You haven't run a scan on your PC for a while. This could put your PC at risk." A full scan had been ran the day before I got this message the first time. To get rid of the message I went ahead and ran a quick scan. A couple days later I got the …

On hover, in Google Chrome, I am often redirected to other sites that display the attached screenshot telilng me to update my linux drivers. This is from several .eu domains. I've got some of them blocked in AdBlock but new ones seem to crop up daily. I know it's a scam but it is also an annoyance. Is there a way to block a domain in chrome? How do I find out (and is it necessary) if this is something that had infiltrated my OS? I would rather use the terminal if possible than try to weed through Nautilus. My OS is Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.

I kind of fell in love with Kate when running Xfce with Kwin but found the combination a bit too heavy. I've moved to Xfce/Compiz/Emerald and am looking for a replacement for Kate. Geany doesn't do it for me; but the latest Bluefish is coming close. The problem is, I don't really know what I am missing from Kate just that I'm missing it :D Basic functions are a multi-language programmers editor that can be extended and has a good range of plug-ins. I'm thinking of trying emacs. Am i mad? Continue reading...
