    McAfee suddenly pops up, claims infection 5 viruses etc

    There is not, nor has been a mcafee program listed in program and features. If it is spam, a con, and not a true mcafee program, wouldn't an antivirus program quarantine the fake? So far, no popup of mcafee today. cheers pos

    McAfee suddenly pops up, claims infection 5 viruses etc

    I have not powered off the computer because I have seen programs etc that required rebooting to enter "computer code" into the registry. I did not want the possibility of that happening. The computer has never had Mcafee installed at any time, including when I purchased it. Years ago, on...

    McAfee suddenly pops up, claims infection 5 viruses etc

    Twice today, three screens popped up, each overlapping the others. The top one says my McAfee subscription has lapsed and that I have 5 viruses, I believe, in my computer. I cannot take a screenshot of them. First was when Firefox was open. I closed firefox and the scam vanished. The next time...

    Dear Sir/Ms, If this is the wrong forum, or not appropriate, please advise me. I have a problem no one, my servers included, seems to be able to figure out. I receive emails with no problem, including emails with a 4 digit code so as I can verify my email address. However, with X streamer in...

    Do I need all these programs/files running ?

    I did some checking and all seems to be in order now. Sometimes the hard drive yellow light just stayed lit and I could accomplish nothing for up to 20 minutes. One cpu was reading up to 98% or higher. I was concerned that having all the programs at start up was the problem. I got two cpu meters...

    Do I need all these programs/files running ?

    Just seems like a lot of start up programs to be running. As one can see I am not very knowledgeable in the computer world. I will check via google as to what each does. Thanks again Gents. Much appreciated. pos

    Cannot Find Printer IP Address

    Thanks for your suggestion Strollin, but I cannot afford much of anything on my meager SS income. I have had the 1050A for some 7 years and it works quite well. I was able to obtain some "50 refill cartridges" worth of ink for $8.00 to use in my 1050A sometime ago. Pretty cheap and I don't...

    Cannot Find Printer IP Address

    Thanks for your reply John. Much appreciated. I only print using black ink, and I found last night that just tapping the black ink button, the printer does a small fit, and then prints. After that it prints normal until either I let it fall asleep, or power off and on again. I think I can live...

    Win 7 has edge popup window

    I wonder how I am getting the pop up ad for Edge unless someone is hacking my computer with the add? I have pop up blocks activated on both Firefox and IE 11. I have never heard a good thing about win 10, only bad. Secondly, I don't like win 7 either. It is huge program with all sorts of...

    Win 7 has edge popup window

    So evidently Microsoft is downloading the ad whether I want it or not? My "never" status for Windows Update is worthless? Frankly I was happier with XP and don't like either 7 or 10. But that is just me. Anyway, thank you John for your time and efforts. It is always much appreciated. pos

    Win 7 has edge popup window

    Yes, here is my screen print. I can't figure it out John. Popup is not occurring now, but will tomorrow if the past few days are any indication. Need to add that my windows "update" has been set to "never" for quite a while.

    Thanks John for your help and time. I checked and there is nothing at all listed under permissions except three listings in "add ons" addons.mozilla.org fpn.firefox.com private-networks.firefox.com All three allowed. I just opened up firefox and as many times no advertising pop up happened...
