    Receiving possible spam mail from xpadder

    But what if they come back? There are receipts from two different customers showing up on my e-mail inbox. How they got there, I don't know. Could it be that maybe my Microsoft account password was hacked? If this strange e-mail pops up again, then I'll change my Microsoft account password and...

    Receiving possible spam mail from xpadder

    The transactions were made using Paypal accounts, but I did not find any record of any such transaction on my Paypal or bank account. I removed my bank account info from my Paypal account as a security measure. Should I also change my passwords for my Microsoft, Paypal, and bank accounts? I use...

    Get a Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+ or wait for Microsoft Surface Phone?

    I've been reading rumors about a Surface phone. Not sure about the Lumia 950XL, but it looks decent. http://www.therem.org/microsoft-mapping-to-release-a-surface-phone-in-the-days-to-come-know-the-entire-specs-here/1228859/

    Get a Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+ or wait for Microsoft Surface Phone?

    I'm pretty much a noob when it comes to Android, so I'm not sure if I should go for the Galaxy S6 phone or wait and see what the Surface Phone offers. Confidence is rather low for Microsoft when it comes to smartphones, but it's still nice to have a Windows 10 phone integrate with my Windows 10...

    Do you use : No Antivirus , FREE Antivirus , or PAID Antivirus and why?

    After fighting with Bitdefender Total Security free trial and having issues with it not cooperating with Adguard and ASUS AI Suite 3, I decided to try again to run Kaspersky on Windows 10 after the last run with Bitdefender free edition. Last time I installed it along with a fresh install of...

    Do I really need ASUS AI Suite 3?

    So if it messes with other programs, like BDTS, should I uninstall it and set custom fan curves in BIOS?

    Do I really need ASUS AI Suite 3?

    I know that I can use it to adjust fan curves in Windows, but this can also be done in BIOS. This program causes conflicts with HWInfo, which is used to monitor CPU and RAM usage in the RivaTuner OSD while gaming and on the system tray, and will not work with Bitdefender Total Security. I tried...

    Samsung 850 Evo or HyperX Savage?

    The 850 EVO is the king of SSDs. It is even faster with Samsung Rapid Mode, especially with more than 8 GB of system RAM, because it stores cache to RAM.

    Do you use : No Antivirus , FREE Antivirus , or PAID Antivirus and why?

    I tried Bitdefender Total Security free trial and it was treating ASUS AI Suite 3 as an anti-virus program. It forced me to uninstall it before installation. I installed BD and tried reinstalling ASUS AI Suite 3, but problems arose, so I uninstalled the BD trial and reinstalled BD free. This is...

    Do you use : No Antivirus , FREE Antivirus , or PAID Antivirus and why?

    I just noticed that Kaspersky is wrecking havoc on Windows 10. Cortana will not bring up search results and even typing something in the Edge search bar does nothing. After finding a solution to the issue on the web, I had to uninstall Kaspersky from Windows 10 and install Bitdefender free...
