    Is an antivirus a must have?

    Do you absolutely need shoes to walk? No, you don't. But they help a lot. That's how the situation with security programs is as well. They are not absolutely necessary, but they help a lot.

    Solved! Svchost 50 CPU

    Last time that this happened to me, it was a problem with the Windows Update service and simply disabling it had solved the problem for me. However, you mentioned that for you, this started as soon as you installed the hack. Too much of a coincidence I would say. My recommendation would be to...

    Best Antivirus settings

    Deleting a threat is often the most effective thing as it completely gets rid of it. The downside of that is that security programs often detect false positives. Which means that your Antivirus might detect a legitimate program as a virus and remove it without you realizing anything until it's...

    Solved! Malware bytes and Bitdefender causing BSOD

    That's a weird one. These two shouldn't conflict. Anyway, if that's really the case, then I would suggest replacing Malwarebytes as the cost is way lower than replacing Bitdefender. I personally have been using MalwareFox in place of Malwarebytes and it's working just fine with Windows...

    What VPN Service Do You Recommend?

    Chances are that you won't have to use a VPN for your consoles. Only for your PC. I personally tried Express VPN and Tunnel Bear. Loved both of them. I would suggest you to check them out.

    Malwarebytes blocked a site due to Hijack?

    It could be talking about browser hijackers. Malicious programs which change your browser's settings and prevent you from doing anything about it.

    CPU fan insane overload under idle state

    My guess is that it was a messy update. Maybe check your recent Windows Updates and roll back the specific driver which causes this problem?

    I have apps I cannot get rid of and have malware at the least that will not go away why

    Try using MalwareFox Anti-Malware. If you're infected with some sort of adware, which looks like it, then this program should be able to take care of it for you.

    Antivirus reinstallation question

    Paid security programs usually give you a serial key. You can use it on a new installation to sort of prove that you have bought the program. So, yes! If Avira supports this, which it should, then you won't have any problems in deleting it and then using it again.

    PC will not detect TV

    Problems like these are usually driver related. So, do make sure that your GPU has the latest drivers installed.

    Google Keeps Switching to Bing

    Sounds like some sort of browser hijacker to me. You might even be getting redirected to a lookalike Bing and not the legitimate one. That's unless the URL is right. Antivirus programs will usually not detect things like browser hijackers. You need an Anti-Malware for that. As for which one to...
