    32 Bit or 64 Bit

    Doesn't matter. But surely better to get round the password. I know how to but not allowed to say on here.

    Tracing a deleted file

    Hi all, Windows 7 64 bit. Is there any way of tracing when a file(s) have been deleted (date/time)? I have recovered the files but, if it's possible, would like to be able to say when they were deleted. Right click properties, modified/created/etc only gives one date and that is the...

    Adobe flash player version 12 installed

    You have malware. Looks like you have been trying to stream something, it always asks to download malware of some kind, at this point you have said yes and then installed it. Run Malware Bytes.

    google chrom new tab

    I would guess that you have to uninstall the virus/malware you have collected first. Have you run MalwareBytes? Run that and post the results, JohnB will be along later with more detailed instructions.

    Move the PC out of the basement? Surely that will fix the problem

    Can a router or network be hacked/infected?

    Go to the Control Panel, Programs and Features and remove Norton. You will find the PC will run alot smoother. Download and install Microsoft Security Essentials.

    Thank You BT Broadband

    Those speeds denote a "line problem". BT will not tell you that on the phone although the OpenReach engineers will agree but are not allowed to offer it as an explanation. Get an email off to [email protected] , head of BT Group. This bypasses the overseas call centres and normally...

    Bitlocker

    BitLocker locks a whole system and uses either a very long key or, more commonly, a USB stick to unlock the system. Once into windows, the key can be removed and stored securely elsewhere. Nothing in the above suggests you are using BitLocker.

    Problems with my internet? Please advise.

    Found the problem for ya. You are with TalkTalk. Need I say more? :) Talktalk and Tiscali are owned by AOL, that should tell you all you need to know about this company. To be fair, the CEO, when she gets to hear of a problem likes to get it sorted. If you want the problem fixing email...

    Some computer assistance required

    1. I'm guessing your Firefox history was deleted in the last 24 hours. 2. Make a note in your diary when you change your password. Simples.

    The internet sales tax bill

    I was actually thinking this yesterday while driving. "Could I do without the Postman visiting every day"? Yes is my answer. Not sure how the older generation, that sounds good as I'm 49, would get on though. Any money owed, like insurance claims could be paid direct to banks. It will...

    Can my ISP track me down if I use VPN

    This seems a classic case of asking a question but will only accept one answer. When that answer is not forthcoming, the question will be asked in a variety of ways to see if the acceptable answer can be found.

    ie problem

    Think someone needs to calm down a bit. You come looking for advice, FREE advice which is freely given, and when you are given that advice you dont like it. May I suggest you take note of JohnB and all that he is telling you. If he says programs need to go, then programs need to go. Doesnt...

    How to remove pop up

    Could be the OP is trying to stream something. If you ignore the warning, does the video show? If so, its not doing any damage until you click and install it. When you install, it will probably try to give you a program called "iLivid". That will cause you problems. :)

    Significant moments in computers and technology

    But isnt that part of the fun of forums, drifting off topic now and again? Even more fun if the OP has stated they want to keep it on topic :)

    Is there such a thing as a "Free" thing on internet?

    There's not. If there were do you think we would be replying to your silly messages rather than winning the latest 99" HDMI 3DTV that even makes the coffee for me?
