You are and I am , but there are a lot of people taken in by these things and the more you and I warn about it, the hopefully fewer will be scammed in future.

I'm un'like'ly to have trouble with the 'like' button as I rarely use it. I much prefer to say I like a post than to click on 'like'. I don't object to using them but I do get a bit pedantic and think of them as 'short forms' and feel I'm doing it just to save time. Wow! The emoticons came...

My memory......whether it goes into senior mode or not Clueless. That's a thought......why can't we have a memory stick to plug into our brains when needs be, it would save on a whole lot of sticky notes and lists, just plug it in when we can't remember something!

I've looked at a few over the last year. I just use Microsoft Excel or pen n paper instead.

All done thank you for your input

Oh me too Dave.. He made it all so interesting & understandable.. A brilliant chap... Sad to hear his passing went un-announced.. Sad..

On the BBC website today, a warning about security on some routers.

Ok, just thought it was worth checking.

What sort of things are on your list as making Chrome "unsophisticated" (Or Firefox / Waterfox "sophisticated" ?

I've just bought myself (another) WD MyPassport drive, an Ultra this time and the box says that I can use cloud and dropbox, but that needed SmartWare Pro and as Armandii has found, there's no activation key supplied.What I have found however, is that when you run your WD Smartware (not pro)...

Yeah, that can be sickening can't it??

Its part of the very contentious Digital Rights Management rubbish. The principle is fair enough. Artists (or more likely the record labels) don't want people to just share it with everyone. In practice its just nothing but pain, for exactly the reason you've just said.There are various free...

I had a call yesterday that asked me to confirm the report they had received that I have had an accident in my car recently.I only managed to keep them on the phone for 26 minutes before the person called me a rude name!! (They had called just as I had settled back comfortably in my office...

Just added it, I think Dave.

@Zigs Glad it was of help.

ESET ain't bad and same goes for Malwarebytes.Norton and McAfee are IMO the worst for system slow down and the easiest to get anything past.AVG seems to be dropping the ball lately. I use to like it but was getting too many false positives due to the over simplistic heuristics they use. One...

The ACPI actually has several states of "sleep", S3 - S5 are the deepest sleep. Modern CPU's can control their own speed and hence power consumption. When you are busy with a CPU intensive task, the CPU will step up it's speed (clock frequency) to compensate but it will also consume more power...

I'm surprised the Norton range still exists. Every spotty teenager in the world can get round that. It was great in its day, around 1990, but has fallen victim to its own success. It became the benchmark that all hackers would aim for.

There are restrictions to posting links in this forum, but I see we are still allowed to quote our web site on our profile. So I best not quote the URL to the large amount of Freeware I have produced over the years on my site. All of mine is perfectly safe as you can see are confirmed by a...

My expert replied as belowGordon, I think so. You can dual boot a Mac with various OS's, here is a tutorial on making it happen with Mac and Win7 http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/how-to/software/3368970/how-dual-boot-mac-with-windows-7-os-x/ You might also find this...
