by Guest Transparency.doubter- 0 replies

Using Microsoft, Google or Android products together seems like a good Eco-system if you like using their services. But what's really going on when you interlock all these entities together? Authenticator require phone#, Gmail suddenly turns into live. And suddenly notifications suddenly start firing up and you don't know where these accounts are made social media suddenly starts broadcasting your activities to unknown companies and your getting third party strikes. You ask what's going and you see a massive terms of agreement change that just keeps repeating the same words. Is their stuff bei Continue reading...

Driver Support

I have been paying $9.99 per month for something called Driver Support since January of this year. I did not notice the charge until this month as I have not been paying attention to some of the smaller charges on my account. I have contacted the company and requested a refund for the last 6 months. I have since received an email from the company explaining how to get the program off my computer. Unfortunately I can find no record of any program by that name on my desktop, tablet or phone, I don't know what to do now. Is it a scam? How did they get my credit card account? Is the company Continue reading...

Phantom process is causing a perma-loading ring on mouse
by Guest Marcus Tranquilli- 0 replies
- 34 views
Hello all, I need some help. After downloading a desktop wallpaper the blue loading ring around my mouse has been permanently appearing on my mouse when idle (it dissappears when I go to click/type/interact with something). When I shut my computer down it shows that there is an unnamed process preventing my computer from shutting down, but still powers off anyways. I have run a full anti-virus scan of my computer and nothing has popped up, I have clean-booted and followed every solution I can find with no success. I would prefer not to do a full reset of my computer at this time. Continue reading...

Hey guys!I accidentally downloaded a drivers update program from <Link Removed by moderator>, as I thought it was a program for my course. As soon as I started the program it referred me to purchase and sign up for a subscription. Of course I realized by that stage that this was not my course program. I uninstalled and deleted the program. Now to my question:May I have gotten myself into problem by downloading this program? The only think I "agreed" to was the terms of service agreement when I downloaded the program. From what I have read the only problem is if I have signed up for Continue reading...

Windows Defender won't scan automatically
by Guest GeorgeFJ46- 0 replies
- 42 views
I just ditched Norton 360, opting to use just Windows Security. I thought that Windows would automatically scan my computer at various times without me doing a thing. Instead, I can go over 24 hours, and find that Windows has not done any scans at all. I have to manually go into Windows Security and tell it to run a scan for it to anything. Is that normal? Is there a way to get Windows to do a quick scan automatically, without me telling it to? At least with Norton, it would scan my computer usually at least once a day if not more than that without me having to manually tell it to. If W Continue reading...
