    Hey Rick, ok

    Warning This fix is only relevant for this system and no other, using on another computer may cause problems.

    Be advised that when the fix commences it will shut down all running processes and you may lose the desktop and icons, they will return on reboot

        * Double-click OTL.exe to start the program. Should be on your desk top !
        * Copy and Paste the following code into the text box of the OTL tool/program ! Start with and include the colon plus  :OTL
    Copy everything in RED & Purple links below and Paste into the box in the OTL program !!

    Good morning Rick, a few questions first !

    1. Are you using McAfee for virus protection ?? It can slow down a computer especially while loading ! Windows Defender which comes with Windows 10 is a great protector, that is all i have ever used & never caught anything !!

    2. Is this W10 system ??

    Thanks

    Chuck

    PS. Rick there is no sign of Farbar ever being ran !!

    Rick try this program !! 

    Download https://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/otl_(oldtimers_list_it).html to your desk top !


    If you already have a copy of OTL delete it and use this version.


    * Double click OTL.exe to launch the program.
    * Check the following.

      * Scan all users.
      * Standard Output.
      * Lop check.
      * Purity check.


    * Under Extra Registry section, select Use SafeList
    * Click the Run Scan button and wait for the scan to finish (usually about 10-15 mins).
    * When finished it will produce two logs.

       OTL.txt (open on your desktop).
       Extras.txt (minimised in your taskbar) The Extras.txt file will only appear the very first time you run OTL.

    Post those logs please & i will type up you a script to delete what needs to go !!

    Thanks

    Attn: Windows 10 Users !!
    Have you noticed the "meet now" in your task bar ??
    Microsoft extended this capability starting in Windows 10 build 20221 by bringing Meet Now right to the taskbar. You can now easily set up a video call and reach friends and family in an instant by clicking on the Meet Now icon in the notification area (system tray) of the taskbar in Windows 10. No sign ups or downloads needed.
    Meet Now will open your installed Skype app on any device. Even if you are not signed in, you can join the call or chat as a guest. If you do not have Skype installed on your computer, it will open Skype for you on the web. Supported browsers for Meet Now are Microsoft Edge and the latest version of Google Chrome.
    Only certain versions of W 10 has this feature !!

  25. IP Address

    in Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, and XP

    Posted

    Hey hpg3, nope your IP address is from your Internet Provider ! So you keep the same IP ...... but you can get a mask IP, which means they hide your IP from anonymity !  ExpressVPN and CyberGhost are both excellent options but they do charge for their services.  Long story short: whichever service you pick, you just download an app, run it, and use it to connect to the VPN on demand. It's really that simple. You can Google up some free ones but no one i know have ever used a fake IP !!
