The script only occurs when the player is loaded, and stops when the tap/page is closed correct? I do have NoScript on strict settings, so is it possible that the mining script was never loaded?

So I've been reading online that Malware-bytes premium blocks Rapidvideo. They said that it was associated with riskware, and uses your browser to mine cryptocurrency. Before downloading the free premium trial for Malware-bytes, my CPU never spiked above 20% when watching videos through...

The LENOVO IdeaPad 330-15IKB i3-7020U 8GB 1TB MX150 2GB FullHD is better for games, because it has an AMD Radeon 530. The other laptop has an intel 620 integrated chip, which is fine for flash games but not actual games. So, go for the one with the i3-7020U.

Does your DVD player have an HDMI connection, as well as your TV? If so, it would be better to use that rather than composite (the yellow hole). An HDMI port looks like this ---> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDMI#/media/File:HDMI.socket.png and a HDMI cord looks like this --->...

Windows laptops are less expensive and easier to fix than mac books. The reason people choose a mac over a windows, is because the mac is a lot simpler to operate. However, if you buy a good windows laptop, they can last much longer and be just as easy to use as a mac. Fixing one is going to be...

Going to need more information than this. What model is your laptop, and how long have you had it? Did you replace the battery during the computer's life time, and if so is it from the manufacture?
