Martha Stewart Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Got myself a new laptop with Windows 10 on it, coming from a Windows 7 laptop, what are the first things I should do? Previously I did upgrade to 10 but only tried it for a day and didn't like it so reverted back but obviously that is not so easy this time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said no to all the extras like Edge and Cortana etc. When you get used to it it's not much different from Windows 7. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, I would google it and go through one of the guides you'll find, as there are a lot of data collection settings etc that you're better off switching off 12 hours ago, Chris_DK said: Anyone know of a place where you can pay for a decent computer/laptop in monthly instalments?

jimmy boo Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 I keep getting a message on my phone from 24sec-Notification.com saying it is infected with viruses and to install some app from the Playstore. Obviously I smell shite but Google search shows another site which says it's IP address (24sec) is from Amazon. Anyone else getting this and thoughts on how to get rid? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's some advice here, apparently they can spoof the IP address. Someone in the posts below the article is getting the same thing. Quote Hi, I got a message about virus and it demands to click "ok". There is no other option. I can't even close this web-site and I don't even browse a lot! Not sure what to do. I've deleted all downloads but haven't detected anything. I think the first time I saw the message I clicked "ok", but not sure. Then I heard a voice that virus is detected so I just quickly switched the mobile phone off. Then restarted but there is the same message in the browser, web www.24sec-notification.com. I haven't got any anti-virus. What shall I do?

The advice was to clear cache and browsing history which, fingers crossed, seems to have done the trick. Started I think after I showed someone streaming site wiz1.net on my phone which has never given me any problems before but now his laptop is playing up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itzdrk Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 (edited) Recently bought this wireless adapter on ebay for my pc http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/best-150Mbps-150M-Mini-USB-WiFi-Wireless-Adapter-Network-LAN-Card-802-11n-g-b-F7-/322363816665?txnId=1701833741011 While it finds wireless networks the signal stregnth is 0% so cant connect. Any idea what could be causing this? (I get that its probably a completely shite bit of kit at that price but it says best in the title ) Edited February 14, 2017 by itzdrk 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palmy_cammy Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Can you connect other devices (tablets, mobiles etc.)? That should narrow it down to an issue with your wifi or an issue with your new adapter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YER SISTERS YER MAW Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Has anyone had any success downloading Adobe flash player onto an android 6.0 device? Google haven't supported Adobe now since 4.0 lollipop. I've tried a few 3rd party websites and downloaded their link for AFP for 6.0 but I keep getting 'can't open file'. I need it to watch something that requires ADF to view on my Android box. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last, semi reliable, way of viewing flash on android that I know of was to use a browser like Dolphin that loads the sites on their server and shows, effectively, a stream of it on the phone 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Fifer Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 I've had this issue before on previous laptops, but my current laptop keeps giving me the "Your computer is running low on memory" pop up when I'm sitting with only a browser open. A quick glance at the task manager seems to say that about 4GB of my 6GB is being used but I've no idea what on. A quick google search and it seems to be an issue with Windows 10 but I can't seem to find a solution anywhere. Any computer whizz's know of anything? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go to Process in Task Manager and it should tell you exactly whats using the memory. Do you have a lot of tabs open in your browser by any chance? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
