    Taking the plunge and leaving FB.

    Not everyone considered that when they made the account 10 years ago. Also they've escalated in a certain direction since then, if you recall their entire motto was 'ads aren't cool'. We're all aware how their business functions now and what it's grown into. Along with certain leaks that have...

    Taking the plunge and leaving FB.

    Thanks Kagouris, does that also remove any comment you've ever made or does it leave a digital footprint? Anything else you can add would be swell. Well, my reason Scotty is because it's somewhat of a time waster, alongside that I don't necessarily like having an entire profile of myself...

    Taking the plunge and leaving FB.

    How many have you left FB to never return? I'd love to, however it's one of my main forms of communication. I'm still searching for a cross-platform to go between PC and Android/iPhone devices that's more revolved around privacy and encryption, no luck so far. TL;TR: How did you stop using...

    Replacement for AVG

    +1 scout. Thanks everyone, I've decided to go with Avast, since it's extremely customizable and you can opt-out when it comes to certain features that may invade privacy.

    Replacement for AVG

    So I've downloaded Bitdefender (Free). Now, perhaps I don't know how to open the full settings or whether it even has them, such as AVG, where you would choose specific areas or HDDs to scan, what speeds, etc etc. Can someone inform me about this? Otherwise, I might have to go over to Avast...

    Replacement for AVG

    Sorry but I've never been a fan of Norton, never going back there :P Thanks Scout, I'll be sure to look into it more. Still open to suggestions tho.

    Replacement for AVG

    I've also heard good things about Avast & Bitdefender, do you guys know much about either of their privacy policies?

    Replacement for AVG

    I've used AVG for years, but as most of you may know, AVG has changed their privacy policies since Oct 15. I'm quite pleased with them being open about it, but I'm in no way interested in continuing to use their service as long as they collect everything from browsing history to metadata. At...

    Suggestions for a laptop for CS course (£250-350) (UK)

    You won't be finding any FHD laptops for that price range, an i5 with 4 gigs of ram would be sufficient. Programming doesn't really need much resources, visual studios only needs a 1.6 GHz or faster processor and about 1 GB of RAM.

    LED Backlighting Setup - 3528 vs. 5050

    Hey guys, so I bought a LED kit for behind my monitor. - http://www.arlec.com.au/detail-2/?de=ALD012 It doesn't specify anywhere whether it's 3528 or 5050, the reason I ask is because the connector only has one out cable, I want to perhaps buy a splitter and have 2 or even 3, so I can connect...

    Variable buzzing from headphone jack while idle and playing games.

    Hey, seems like you are having some interference, I had a similar issue, however not related to the graphics card. It's pretty coming from your GPU I'm assuming, you might want to reroute the audio and the video cables away from each other, maybe they are too close. So hopefully some simple...

    Microsoft Account Privacy

    Hello everyone, so I've recently built a new computer and I figured I'd get Win 8.1, however I've started reading...Microsoft wants Windows 8 users to log into their computers with a Microsoft account. Now I hear this is optional? But if you don't... You don't get to use some of the features...

    Deleting Email Account

    So, what do I need to know about deleting a email account? I'm no longer happy with Hotmail/Outlook for various reasons that I could go into. I want to know which steps I need to take, for example, it's the email that's linked to all my accounts, Facebook, TomsHardware, Xbox account and so...
