    My dumb question

    Can anybody suggest a reasonably good anti-virus that I can install onto 2 desktops (Mine & Mum's), for around $40 to $60 a year? Had a lot of rubbish and vicious and annoying stuff lately, and it is time to do something.

    OK, finally got a bit of joy. I did a System Restore back to 20th/June, and everything is suddenly back to normal. I am not kidding myself as the monster is still in there some where but, at least it isn't on every web page including home page. I never did click Click here to learn more, so I...

    The trouble is it doesn't matter which option I click, nothing happens and the DONE word doesn't stand out to be clicked, and "Click here to learn more", looks like it could be a scam! Also it freezes up the whole page and can not even close the page off or go anywhere different. In fact when I...

    Help I have just had this monster land on my Laptop. There is nothing I can do to get rid of it. Nowhere to click, either right or left click. The only escape is go to e-mail and when I return to Internet explorer it is still there. It is obviously rubbish stuff.

    Windows live mail problem

    My wife's computer is Windows 7 Home Premium and running Windows Live Mail. For about the last 10 days or so she can receive OK but, can not send. I know it is probably just a click somewhere, can somebody tell me where to click to get back to normal?

    Hard question time

I have taken on board Laquer Head's comment, and would like to ask Arkstar0 what does "Disable privacy issues on windows 10 with this" mean? Thanks for your patience everybody, I will get there eventually. I will also start another query...

    Hard question time

    No mate, I live in Carnarvon WA, and we have a computer shop where everything is $500 to $1500, and a Beta Store which only buys by order if you don't want a Lap Top. You could say our opportunities are limited if you don't use E-Bay.

    Hard question time

    Actually mistersprinkles, you are right, it is just a lot of rubbish every day, you know million dollar offers etc, and we don't know how to get rid of them. Plus everything has slowed down and I thought a fresh start might help. BUT, any suggestions on how to clean it up would be appreciated...

    Hard question time

    OK, this may be a dumb question but, me and Mum are 76 so please be kind. We have a computer each, Mum's Windows 7, and mine is Windows 8. They are full of annoying stuff and I thought it would be a treat if we had a couple of new ones. QUESTION: If I bought a couple of new Windows 10s, are they...

    Not wanting a fight, BUT.

    We are a pair of oldies and have a desktop each and are thinking an upgrade might help. We have had Windows since 2000 but, have been reading a bit about computers and are starting to think maybe we should look at Apple. What are peoples thoughts regarding simplicity, ease of use, reliability...

    Yeh tremor, I went in there but couldn't find the right switch, maybe because I am running Windows 8. Anyway everything is good now.

    How to ?

    A while back when I was having some mouse problems I got some instructions on how to use keys to move the cursor. That involved disabling the Numerical keys on the right hand side of the Key board. Now can some body tell me how to reactivate those keys? Now the mouse probs are sorted. Thanks in...
