    Website said I had a virus

    While, I will agree that this is scareware, I am concerned that you say that you haven't uninstalled McAfee and are running Panda AV. While the scareware requires you to click on it, running Panda AV with another antivirus installed can lead to both, false negatives and false positives...

    Command prompt randomly running

    Is it doing it when you open something specific, or when something is open? There are a couple programs I use that uses command prompt (mostly older programs that, while they've been updated over the years, still have the original code at the heart). Whenever you notice it, check what all you...

    Everything is Slower!

    Another thing to check is what is running on startup (for Win 10, it's in the task manager -> more details -> Startup) and see what kinds of junk is there. You could do a hardware diagnostics test to see if something has happened there, like one of your ram sticks not working. I would also try...

    Computer may have been 'hacked'

    It sounds like what my friends and I used to do to each other to screw with one another. Modded servers can have larger security risks while playing which is why you're not supposed to use them. It's also why games that require constant connection to the server are targeted a lot and require...

    Very persistent Virus won't go even after Scan!

    I would suggest a non-norton boot time scan, as norton isn't seeming to fix it. Kasperski has a bootable one that you can put on a flash drive, while places like AVG, Avara, Bit Defender, ect have free rescue disks that can be burned onto a cd (there may also be instructions on how to put them...

    I'm 90% sure I have a virus/malware or something. Need Help

    First, I would recommend running a boot-type scan for viruses, then boot in safe mode and run malwarebytes. I would also recommend getting CCleaner and clean everything up, both cleaner and registry (be warned, this will delete your passwords you have saved on all internet browsers). Your next...

    Computer download slow... Please help..

    I would turn off all unnecessary startup items (windows 7-8 use the startup tab in MSConfig and turn off everything except your antivirus, Windows 10 use the startup tab on the task manager), clean your browser (cookies, cache, toolbars, and get an adblock), restart and try that. You could have...

    Which Antivirus should i get?!

    My gaming computer runs AVG, and if you really don't like Avast, your other options would be Avara and Microsoft Security Essentials. BUT, if Avast is slowing down your computer too much, I would suggest maybe doing a malware scan with malwarebytes or something because generally, once it's...

    FBI Using 400 Million Photos for Facial Recognition

    Those pictures are government property, they can use them for whatever they want... They can print them out for dartboards or use the nicer ones for website promoting whatever government-type thing they want. What they cannot do is release the pictures with your name and address to the public...

    Facebook Cross-Domain Messaging Helper page pops up on Chrome as soon as I start my PC.

    Does this happen if you use another browser (like Firefox)? This does seams like malware, so I would run Malware Bytes and see if anything comes up. Also, do a browser cleanup with chrome, just to be sure.

    Please Someone Help Me !!!

    I would run a scan of the computer you have this plugged in to, and reformat the drive. Under 'My Computer' you should be able right click the drive and select format. This will erase EVERYTHING on the drive, however, so you'll want to save anything on there that you would want to keep...
