I fresh installed for 2 reasons. The PC was being generally slow and my 1TB disk had barely 100gb left free on it. No power plans were adjusted after the reinstall except power management mode in the nvidia control panel which is set to "prefer maximum performance". Ive tried to change windows...

I just did a fresh install of windows. I am sure i installed all updated drivers. The problem is that Nvidia experience game optimization is recommending lower "optimal" in game settings than it did before the reinstall. I checked drivers, run some benchmarks, checked setting, reinstalled...

PCs slowing down seems to be a common problem in older rigs. Mine has got to that age. It takes a while while alt tabbing from and to games and opening windows/programs. Windows occasionally freeze. The worst freeze happened a couple of days ago when i was cutting up a video in lightworks. The...

Im also interested in this topic. I feel like Chrome is very liberal with my memory. Every time i open up task manager i see a bunch of chrome.exe processes running, even if i have only 1 tab open. I im not sure but i think i do feel a slight difference in performance when its not open. The...

i just finished 3 scans. 1st one was with HerdProtect Portable: no infections, just a couple of PUP's 2nd was Malwarebytes: 1 trojan found in C:\$Recycle.Bin and some PUP's 3rd and last was Avira: only 1 detection, it was the user32.dll file. could it be a false positive?

My Avira scan is recognizing user32.DLL as a suspicious file. After the first scan i let Avira move the file to quarantine and after the restart i would get a quick flash of a bluescreen and the PC would restart repeating the boot sequence, blue flash and restart. It is only when i ran a repair...

The time has come to replace my 3 year old Xperia J. Before i started searching for a new phone to get, i really didnt see the difference in these new smartphones. They were all the same to me. After a bit of research i became fixated on the hardware power like the processor and RAM. Now, since...

I stumbled upon a website that provides a free download to a piece of software that im 90% convinced it is actually a virus. Since it got my attention, i have the urge to test it out. I installed a Oracle VM Virtualbox to act as a sandbox containment for the virus so it does not cause damage to...

So i just ran a malwarebytes scan on a laptop that my family uses. The laptop ran AVAST as security but i decided to install malwarebytes and BitDefender instead, since i had bad experiences with the free version of AVAST. I tried to run the bitdefender manual scan first, but it just looked that...
