    how to remove 'ad choices"

    Firefox , Adblock plus, and NoScript. Never see an ad you don't want to or get a pop up again. Ever. Takes a bit of set up to make sure sites you need to log in to work correctly. Whitelist things like your online banking if you use that. Literally the first three things i install on a fresh...

    You can't. Use the free version, which great I have used it for years. Or buy the premier version from Avast. No one here is going to tell you how to pirate software.

    Best Way To Run AVAST

    Defender is the Windows antivirus/security program. Run ONE antivirus program ,if you try to run two at the same time weird things happen. Have Avast active, disable/turn off Defender. I have used Avast Free for years without issue.

    Cpu upgrade for acer extensa 4220

    That's a laptop right? First, you probably can't upgrade the cpu, or at least not very easily/cheaply. If you could, it would probably make far more sense to spend the same-ish amount of money on a new laptop. Even the $400 laptops these days would massively outperform that one. Unless you...

    Keeping laptop in truck

    One would hope you would slide it under the seat or....behind, or something, to be less tempting to thieves. Severe rapid temp changes would hurt it more than just getting to 120 ish F or whatever during the day in the truck. For example going from the hot truck to a cold air conditioned...

    Need a gaming laptop below US$650

    Is there some overwhelming reason it HAS to be a laptop? Because for $700 you can put together a very solid gaming desk top. Think $1200 (maybe less on sale) for the same performance from a laptop.
