    Windows 8 pop up ads:Windows 8

    Thanks again Mike. I found out my geek/website designer/graphic design/photographer friend uses it and he's savvy enough to not purposefully infect his PC. Guess it sounds like I'm awed by him, huh. Well, he's a friend and he's super helpful on the Photoshop Gurus Forum I belong to. Thanks for...

    Windows 8 pop up ads:Windows 8

    OK, it seems odd that google would include this, but I don't know their policy apropos extensions offered! If you should stumble across an adblocker you trust, would you post it here please. Gracias. Edit: crusing around a lot of sites and opinions. I found one person suggesting dumping google...

    Windows 8 pop up ads:Windows 8

    I know Mike. Google even states it somewhere when I checked that off. Annoying. If you think adblock is safe, I'll add it. Thanks, Clare

    Windows 8 pop up ads:Windows 8

    I know I am tagging on to an older thread, but I thought it was relevant. I have Chrome and they will not remove their ads. They do have the adblock extension and I hear this is good. My reservation is the popup at download which states that they have access to data on all websites. Not knowing...

    Windows 7 smartFTP?

    Thank you so much Naiya for your response. I did indeed go with filezilla and it's working beautifully. As far as Dreamweaver goes, it isn't worth the hassle to figure out why it's so lame! Cheers, Clare

    Windows 7 Spybot questons

    OK, I will do that. I have already uninstalled Spybot. Tomorrow I'll look into the others listed above. Since several are recommended, anyone have a preference? Thanks, Clare

    Windows 7 Spybot questons

    Yes thanks you all. And I am a novice and don't want to muck around which is why I came by. I mean, now that I'm on the dark side, heh heh.

    Windows 7 Spybot questons

    Thank you very much for responding. If I understand this correctly then it's responding to the Windows updates and the Java update I did this morning? Those are the only downloads I've done since Spybot (I don't download much for this very concern). This sounds like overkill as I'd think it'd...

    Windows 7 Spybot questons

    Having recently (been about 6 months) switched from mac to PC, I have culture shock when it comes to spyware and viruses and the like. A friend recommended Spybot when I was having some problems after a download. So it seemed to help - and I did a disk cleanup. My questions are: 1) opinions on...

    Windows 7 smartFTP?

    Hi all! I've switched from mac to PC and haven't needed to upload to my website for awhile. For some reason, DreamweaverCS5 isn't making a connection, my settings are right, and server admin suggested fugu, not realizing I'm on Windows now. So googling came up with a couple and I am wondering...

    Windows 7 Message before WIN start-up; and why bother with PW? plus mute function key stays lit (HP hardware

    Elmer: duh, yeah. I think that's clear :-} Mike, thanks for the explanation. I've used the built in system restore 3 times now. And yeah, no disks... for anything!

    Windows 7 Message before WIN start-up; and why bother with PW? plus mute function key stays lit (HP hardware

    Uhhh, tanx Elmuh! Only thing b4 I do that: my choices r: win7 (c:windows):current OS; Default OS or Windows Setup (Windows). OK, I feel like an idiot asking since the answer appears obvious, but I'm just not savvy enuf -- only made it abt 3 weeks into C++ before I got tangled up in wrong turns...

    Windows 7 Message before WIN start-up; and why bother with PW? plus mute function key stays lit (HP hardware

    Thanks Mike, I appreciate your being on hand. I see your replies often. I'll give the EasyBCD program a shot. Would you explain why I even have this partition and why it's in my boot options? it's a bit beyond my understanding but I'm curious. Also, I appreciate it that you are not condescending...

    Windows 7 Message before WIN start-up; and why bother with PW? plus mute function key stays lit (HP hardware

    Hi all: I recently had to do a clean install on my PC - 3rd time in as many months. I had a friend reinstall windows and he put the ultimate (?) on instead of the home premium. 1) Now when I start up I get a dos window that says this: choose operating system of press tab: Windows 7...

    Windows 7 function keys preset to help, screen brightness, etc. Don't function in programs

    OK, well I see no one could answer my question, but I found the answer in somebody else's question: use the "fn" key. I feel kinda like a l-user now, but at least I'm satisfied (there's the joke: who are you gonna satisfy with that? and the guy says, "me" ... use ur imagination for part one of...
