Hi I posted about my friends computer that kept blue screening. I finally got that fixed and the computer is running good, but he keeps picking up malware. Today while I was talking on the phone he had the Java Update thing pop up 4 times. Every time he runs Malwarebytes he finds PUPs and...

I am very frustrated with Microsoft right now. I currently have a Macbook Pro with Retina Display and want to install Windows 8.1 in virtual box.

Today I've bought one powered USB Hub that I was hoping to solve my low number of USB ports. It has 10 ports but when I connect anything on it (my phone, my external hard disk, flash disk, etc.) it doesn't recognize it. All of them are working conected directly. No unknown device under Device...

Win 7 SP1, IE10. In the past, if I hit the red "x" to get out from this forum, I would get signed out automatically. I did not have to do so manually. Since today, Feb15th , it is not longer true. I have to manually sign out. This happens to all the forums I have registered with. Is my IE 10...

Hi My friend Paul has a message keep popping up in the lower right hand corner of his monitor saying that it is Windows Security Essentials and that it has found a virus that needs to be removed. The thing is it doesn't look quite right to me, the window is yellow and doesn't look like...

I'm not sure if somebody else had this problem before, but for me this keeps happening every couple of weeks. It happened for the third time recently. Out of the blue on shutdown Windows says that it's installing updates with the typical counter of percent complete going up. This is weird for a...

Hello. This is my first thread in this forum, and I'm new on managing Windows OS problems, since I'm still learning. My problem is that I get a BSoD while I play Maplestory. It happened twice already but I don't want to get more problems with this game since I play it a lot, and never gave me...

I have recently purchased a new laptop with windows 8.When I go to internet explorer and open a website, I am often seeing a small UFO flying across the screen. It makes a sound similar to the old space invaders arcade game. Has my laptop been hacked and can I stop this? It does not occur one...

Something odd has been going on when watching Hulu videos that have an advertisement by Kay Jewelers, that I don't understand. Adobe Flash Player pops this dialog: I'm not quite certain the function of the two buttons, but I'm guessing that "Dismiss" means to abort something, and "Continue"...

After installing the upgrade I thought it was cool. Easy to change back in forth between the Metro and standard desktop and it seemed to work better. On Dec 1st it all went haywire. I couldn't get any further than the sign in screen. It was flipping back and forth between 2 different states. I...

Cut and paste in x64 has an issue and it is hard to believe Microsoft did not attempt to correct it. Pasting a cut file leaves the file inaccessable. You cannot delete it, even from a command prompt. Restarting the system does not help. Installing SP2 did not help. Sort of sorry on their part!
