Hey So I have a Cisco modem model DPQ3212 and a Netgear Nighthawk AC1900 Smart wifi router. Its model is R7000. I got this router a bit over 6 months ago and it's constantly dropping the internet since pretty much since I got it. I did have an old router that died so I got a new netgear...

Hey When I shut down my computer, I had the option to update and restart. So I picked that option so I can install updates. I did that and my computer just restarted without installing anything. I figured it was just a one time thing so I did it again after my computer started back up. Same...

Hey guys, So I was doing a scan with malwarebytes and it found one adware. I quarantined it. After that, my internet connection was very, very slow. I tried everything I could think of til I decided to just do a system restore. That worked! Now I'm afraid to use malwarebytes again or...

I haven't had a virus on my computer because of McAfee so I think I'll keep it, thanks. I do use eset scanner just in case McAfee doesn't pick up any threats. They never find anything.

Ok thanks, guys. Another question is whether to upgrade the firmware. Turns out an update is available but I've been reading on the netgear forum that if your router is doing fine and protecting your computer, then leave it alone. I've read from some people that upgrading just made things...

Nope, I meant I actually logged into my router to see what devices are connected and they do have their IP addresses and mac addresses. The addresses are all similar though. Something starting with like 192.168.1 or something like that but the end at the string of numbers is different.

Hey, So I have a couple of devices showing up on my router that are unfamiliar. One of them appears to look like it's from amazon and the other one is from audiocast. My wifi is protected by password (a really good and long one, I think). Could it be because I use amazon? I don't even use...

This is actually good! I'm not complaining about that. But I'm wondering why this is happening more often now than usual. Is there something I can do?

Ok well, it turns out doing this disk cleanup ended up taking up space, instead of cleaning it more because of the new files/folders created by the windows update cleanup.

I was using disk clean up a little while ago and though it's not much difference, it took up more space, not freeing up space? I've added and deleted documents lately so maybe that's what messed up the true number of storage space and the number of space showing after disk cleanup is actually...

I have an email account at hotmail so I get OneDrive automatically free. When you upload your files on OneDrive, you can see there's a web address. So I'm concerned that my files aren't really private though people claim you can use OneDrive to share files privately with people. How is...

I'm trying to deal with my internet addiction so I decided to try to use my PC a lot less and I think one way to help with that is to just turn my PC off. But it might be off when it's time to do virus scans, defrag and whatever else that needs to be done but I might turn my computer off at...

Actually I haven't installed any yet lol. I wanted to ask this question first before I did install any. I've heard of BlockSite but I gotta find out if there's a way to prevent uninstalling it before using it. As for advertisement sites, I just use adblocker.

Does anyone know how to prevent uninstalling extensions on Chrome and Mozilla? I want to install an extension that will block some websites. There are some websites that I'm trying to stay away from to slow down my internet addiction and I'm worried that I'll be tempted to uninstall the...

I'm trying to block websites so they're not tempting to get on. Problem is I do turn them on with my anti-virus, McAfee but McAfee is blocking websites that are not supposed to be blocked like adult websites. I tried to post this problem on the McAfee website but no one's answering so I...

I was considering upgrading to Windows 10 but I didn't think it was offered free anymore. Is it still free to install somewhere?

I'm sure it's my display driver again. I had Crimson ReLive Edition 16.12.2 installed (I used clean install from AMD to get rid of it and either reinstall it or install something else). It's from 2017 so why hasn't it been updated? Then I read that AMD no longer support 8400 series anymore so...

I'm sure I just need to update my display drivers again. I've had problems in the past and want to start with a clean slate. However, I don't want to be too aggressive and I know using DDU is aggressive as it wipes out more than a display driver. I came across a post at the amd website that...

I have a desktop as indicated in my specs, not a laptop. Any suggestions for a desktop or computer? Roland, I can understand that. The problem is that it really drowns out the sound of the video, making it more and more difficult to hear the video unless I pause or stop the video.

I hear a fan in my computer in the background going up and the sound on youtube videos would decrease a lot. The more I hear the fan, the less I hear the videos. I know it must be a CPU issue and youtube increases the CPU. I tried an extension that would let me play the videos using H.264 and...
