I can't be sure of what you said, but it looks like it is very
probably that you are infected with malware.

What anti-virus and anti-spyware programs do you run?

  • All of a sudden my iPad started to load slowly, version 9.3.1.

    Why my iPad version 9.3.1 suddenly began slowly load?

    Did you do a survey to see what could be the cause of the problem? Try a different cable, block, taking charge. You have changed any settings recently? Using the iPad when it's in charge?

    The first thing you can try which is absolutely safe and easy to do is to close all applications and force restart the iPad. Apps in multitasking display would have no impact on that under normal circumstances, but if you have something funky going on with an application, it could cause problems.

    Close all applications in this way. Press the Home button twice quickly. You will see small glimpses of your applications recently used. Drag to the left to find the application you want to close. Swipe up on the preview of the application to close.

    To force the reboot your device, press and hold the two buttons of sleep/wake and home for at least ten seconds, until you see the Apple logo.

  • All of a sudden my deskjet 5690 prints very slowly on my laptop Windows 7 2009

    Even the print project it takes 5 minutes to print a single page.  I have downloaded the software of the printer doctor, says that everything is installed properly.  Any ideas?

    This is caused by the failure of one of your cartridges.  Remove the black print cartridge and print a test page.  The printer prints at a normal speed?  Is therefore the black cartridge was the issue and needs to be replaced.  If it isn't then, put the black back cartridge in and remove the color cartridge and the test page printed.  If the printer now prints speed the color cartridge is responsible and must be replaced.

  • Apparently, I got an automatic update of Windows XP. All of a sudden my computer does not connect to my HP Laserjet 1000 printer.

    All of a sudden my computer does not connect to my HP Laserjet 1000 printer. These work very well together for several years.

    Now all of a sudden I get a message that the computer cable is not connected.  I tried to charge the printer program.

    I unplugged and reconnect the cable to the computer, etc.. The system does not work.

    I learn by two other people, who have automatic updates of Windows, they had the same problem. We have a Kodak

    printer and the other has a Lexmark printer. This makes me think that the problem is in the updates of Windows.

    So, what should I do to fix this? I'm NOT a computer person and I'm confused.

    The CC app can work offline for 90 days, after 90 days, you will need to be online to check the subscription & keep active, so if you stop the CC application stops working after activation in the server.

  • How is it that a computer which works very well with a direct Ethernet connection won't work with a switch, however any other computer using the same port, cable, ect, and so on, can?

    Switch issues. Help, please.

    How is it that a computer which works very well with a direct Ethernet connection won't work with a switch, however any other computer using the same port, cable, ect, and so on, can? We already checked the firewall as a question, that it was not, and now, we are puzzled.

    Well, I know that the issue is long-term... believe me, it's a long, but as they say, the devil is in the details. Anywho, the question is, my grandfather has a HP laptop, which for two years has been able to run through a Linksys switch to his router and connect its printers to his laptop. About two months ago it suddenly doesn't work like that. Now, it works fine if it plugs directly into the router/Ethernet. My uncle suggested that the switch was bad, but after testing the same port, cable and all, the switch worked well for him. ' GRAMPS really needs this answered, but someone else, it is called can not understand and now I, in turn, ask you all for what you can offer. Here are the ideas that we have already discredited.

    -Switch bad: as above, is that this particular laptop, even under identical conditions, the works of my uncle very well.
    -Bad NIC: debunked through the fact we connected to the computer directly to the router and it worked fine.
    -Bad configuration of the firewall: we have disabled the firewall (please do not notice, he wasn't the smartest idea, we already know) and even if she recorded the switch exists, the internet is always triggered when you are connected with the switch.

    Thanks in advance for any assistance that you can provide and Merry Christmas to you all.

    It would be useful to consult the results of the ipconfig/all command both when it is connected to the switch and when it is connected directly to the router.  In addition, what is the model of the switch?

    To save the manual copy and the new hits of the ipconfig/all command output-

    First connect through switch.
    Open a command prompt window (start > run > cmd > OK)
    Type the following lines in the black command prompt window and press ENTER after each line

    echo "Connected via the button" > "% UserProfile%\Desktop\ipinfo.txt".
    ipconfig/all > "% UserProfile%\Desktop\ipinfo.txt".

    Now connect directly to the router, type the following lines in the command prompt window and press ENTER after each line

    echo "Connected to the router" > "% UserProfile%\Desktop\ipinfo.txt".
    ipconfig/all > "% UserProfile%\Desktop\ipinfo.txt".
    Notepad '% UserProfile%\Desktop\ipinfo.txt '.
    output

    Copy the contents of the Notepad window in your response (if you use the laptop when it is connected directly to the router) or close the Notepad window, and then copy ipinfo.txt of the laptop to the Gramps in a USB FlashDrive you can connect to any computer allows you to answer.

    You can delete ipinfo.txt on the desktop when you are finished.

  • MacBook Pro (3-inches, mid-2012) suddenly started running very slowly; Beach balls very common

    About a week and a half, it started running very slowly with the spinning beach balls popping up all the time.  This reminds me of how when I have too many tabs of the browser as in the past, but now, even with browsers had closed, open Word or Skype is really slow.  (I'm sorry for any confusing formulation; I'm not very computer customer connected, unfortunately!)

    Some of the things I've tried so far and EtreCheck below):

    -safe mode

    -detection of hardware problems (control + D)

    -reset the PRAM

    -using the utility disc for repair/first care; also check

    -wipe the hard drive and reinstalling original OS X Lion (was still slow with beach balls; I tried to install OS X El Capitan to see if that would help, but installation could not finish)

    -wipe the hard drive and restarting from a backup previous (one month before the problems started)

    You Mbps HARD drive is suspect.  Start the recovery (COMMAND-R) partition and select in menu 4 disk utility.  Run disk utility > first aid > repair.

    Unrelated, but your battery has seen a lot of use.  I suggest to replace.

    Have you tried to connect and to prove your speed more than once? I mean we´re to talk about 4 difference Kbps (!) on a dial-up connection! So I suggest you to watch and prove your speed again and again, because there may be various reasons that a dial-up connection can be slow.

  • USB HDD TRAY 1, 5 t: = red light drive lights works very slowly

    Hello

    It is brand new USB STORE 1, 5 t 3.5 "disk.

    Drive normally begins with the red light, initialize and move to blue light. Initially drive works slow - flashing blue when something happens.

    ... but after a few minutes of use, red light may turn on a moment (for e.g. when new folder is created or some files are copied - then drive works very slowly - it appears when you copy).

    After a few seconds, record going to the blue back light - and everything is OK until the switch next to the red.

    1 is this normal behavior?
    2. What is the meaning of red light when the drive is working?

    Thank you in advance.

    Hello

    I m no owner of this HARD but I have a theory.
    According to your information, I think that the red light only appears if data would be written to the HARD disk.
    The blue light appears during the reading of data from the HARD drive.

  • Portege R100: 4GB SD card works very slowly-&gt; unable to format

    Laptop works fine, no problem when using 1 GB SD card. What SD 4 GB inserted PC card works very slowly. Finally, I am able to run the software Toshiba Format SD memory card (download the latest version). It does not seem to recognize the card of 4 GB. Unable to format. When later tried with 1 GB card, everything works fine.

    If someone was able to get a 4 GB SD card?

    I'm not sure if the laptop software needs a patch, or if the 4 GB card is not fully compatible with SD cards standards, however it was purchased from reputable suppliers.

    Graham

    Hello

    I think that it s nothing wrong with the software, but the SD card is simply not compatible 100%.
    In recent times, the SD card sizes are rising rapidly.
    I think that the card reader and the software were not intended to manage this big SD card like this.

    How to buy an external SD card reader?
    These devices are not very expensive and I think the new generation should be able to also handle 4 GB SD cards.
