• Attack of the MacKeeper

  Running the current software Mini and 10.6.8 on an older laptop.

  The two blinking MacKeeper and other advertising windows. I deleted cookies several times and checked the popup block, but to no avail.

  The killer solution need to stop this.

  Hello Bigtex221,

  This sounds like adware. I wrote a small diagnostic program to help show what adware is installed. Download EtreCheck from http://www.etrecheck.com, run it and paste the results here. EtreCheck is perfectly safe to run, don't request your password to install and is signed with my developer Apple ID.

  If adware is installed, EtreCheck will help remove you, although you may need to provide a password. If you are not comfortable with that, just after the report of EtreCheck here and other AIDS can tell you exactly which files should be deleted and the way to do it.

  WARNING: Although EtreCheck is free, there are other links on my site that could give me some form of compensation, financial or otherwise.

• Beware of the android market to google - google does not support

  Beware of purchases on the Google Android Market, if you make a material data reset on your phone, which is very likely, you might lose the application and be required to buy it again.

  In collaboration with T-Mobile and Motorola support staff, I was required to do a factory data reset my phone as a condition to receive technical support. T-Mobile and Motorola and another poster on forum fletch33 representatives assured me I would not charged again if I downloaded the same google checkout account applications.

  Fortunately, I used American Express, who quickly withdrew the duplicate payments because google checkout does NOT support customer. I have provided screen shots attached to google which show that the initial purchase and recovery of the software that I bought were the same google checkout account.

  Just take it slow and it should work for you. It seems more difficult than it is. The worst is that there are applications for this, but you need to root the phone to use. If you root voiding you any warranty, that's how the developers. Good luck, let me know if make you it work. Can't wait to see some screenshots on your part.

• HP Stream 13: Beware of the upgrade to Windows 10

  I have just told me that in Hp Support the HP 13 Stream is not recommended for the upgrade to Windows 10 due to the lack of space and memory for this new operating system.

  I thought it would be interesting as well as alarming to soemwhat.

  This occurred after I contacted them for help and a solution to a failed update of the ' Intel dynamic and thermal Framework Client Driver SP 72416.  As a result, I did a sfc and dism scan to check the status of the file system and the final result are reports of corrupted files and source files could not be found.

  I should add that at the moment windows 10 works very well on my stream and a recent update of Windows loaded and installed ok. I currently 11.5 GB of free space on the C drive.

  HP support recommend reinstalling windows 8.1 provided to ensure a workbook entirely for the present and the future, because they anticipate the future updates and developments with Windows 10 is likely to produce more problems with the stream.

  Now this threw me after all the recommendations pushes and apparent and challenges for the upgrade of this small notebook with 10 Windows. I'll hold fire for now with other changes, while I go over what to do next.

  Someone at - it something to add?

• [Bug]? Beware of the evolution of your entries in table...

  Forums snub research related but different issues, so this is: is this another leak memory graphic or I missed something?

  The problem is simple, although I doubt it appears often.  If you ask a chart, its use of the space data memory must reflect what is needed for the history of the times ranking two.  However, any when you switch inputs between scalars and tables (does not seem to matter what type, or what size for berries, and I was testing with empty bays), the chart takes another entire buffer (history x 2), and data space grows from this amount.  If you come back, it grows again.  You can change the dimensions of the matrix, remove your entry and a new one of the same "order" of wire, or do any number of other things, and the data space is fine.  But once you make this specific switch, the data space is growing.  Everything I tried, there is not a way to free this memory, even by removing the graphic of the VI, except to CTRL + Z all the way around before you inputs wired.  If you closed or did a bunch of work later, I don't think that there is a way to recover, and it is not get cleaned up with a reboot.

  Of course, this probably has not yet arrived on the radar of anyone for several reasons, but we are often dealing with very large data sets, and I discovered this in a chart with a history of 1 M.  (On a 32-bit computer, not less.  Why even they those more)

  I have screenshots available if anyone is interested, but I have to shoot and crop before they are useful to someone else so I don't put everything here.  I haven't searched deep enough into VI scripting to find a programmatic way to see the distribution of memory usage - on that note, does anyone know how?- so I have no excerpts, either.  I'll be stuck in the lab so I'll be slow with the answers, but I'll be anxious to hear if anyone has any suggestions or foreknowledge of it.  Thank you!

• HP will fix my laptop - beware of the purchase from them

  We bought a HP laptop and the extended warranty.  We have had problems with laptop computer and sent in for repair.  He arrived with a broken screen.

• Beware of the refund policy for the electronic funding/e-gift card from HP

  I recently bought a dv6t and looked forward to happen. This computer arrived damaged and I had to send it back immediately. The exchange of treatment was so painful and frustrating it is doubtful I will be never buy another product from HP. I used a combination of HP credit card ($1000 credit limit) and electronic gift card to make the purchase. The reason why I used a gift card was my total purchase exceeded the credit limit of $1000 and HP would not take a credit card (credit or debit) to complete the transaction. I was told that my ONLY recourse was to buy and ask for a gift card from HP. After arrival with the computer screen damage I decided that I wanted a full refund because the audio was also very poor and I didn't like how this computer sounded at all. I was told that I was obliged to complete the transaction with the gift voucher is NOT REFUNDABLE! I felt that I was being held hostage as my gift card was over $500. I think it's a totally fraudulent way of doing business and for my part will think very hard never to do business with HP again. It's a shame because I've always liked the HP product and I have been a loyal customer for many years, having spent thousands of dollars at HP. I was ashamed of HP for the way they dealt with my problem. I was told that I could still use the e-gift card that I was "stuck" that now for other HP products. Why would I do this after getting scammed by buying the e-gift card in the first place. I finally finished and re - placed an order for a 2nd laptop, but this will probably be my last relationship with HP. They are a great company to deal with until something is not, then the customer may be left holding the bag or in this case, the e-gift card!

  My messages are in my humble opinion based on 30 years of technical industry experience.
  If my opinion helped, please respond with a KUDOS. If this is not the case then please rephrase the question, my opinion could change (smiles). When the hearing hoof beats in the distance, first think horses, not zebras.

  HP DISCLAIMS ANY form of additional funding other than a gift card from HP when the purchase involves HP E-financing credit card. In other words, if I use my credit card of HP and I have enough line of credit for a transaction, the ONLY other form of funding that they will pay the difference is a gift card from HP. No Visa, no Master Card, not American Express, etc... Gift card ONLY. Believe me, I've exhausted this issue in detail. The only combination accepted when you use your credit card of HP is a HP combination of gift cards / credit card. You can combine nothing else than a gift card with their E-financing (credit card of HP). No more credit cards not authorized HP gift card/cheque ONLY.  It was my point worldwide and is the reason why I think it's a way to get the customer to 'use' a gift card.

• Beware of the German service GEODIS partner: they have damaged my laptop

  Hello

  I own a SL510 and I am very disappointed by LENOVO. I live in Germany and I bought my laptop about three weeks ago. Due to a work not correctly keyboard I contacted LENOVO and they sent me a new keyboard very quickly. The problem is that the left of the two screws that holds the keyboard has been set too strong in place (at the factory), so I wasn't able to change the keyboard.

  I contacted LENOVO, they opened a ticket and told me to send the unit and the new keyboard to their German partner GEODIS to Heppenheim.

  My parcel reached GEODIS Tuesday morning and Thursday the status of FOLLOW-UP LENOVO REPAIR was still "Waiting for inbound", so I contacted LENOVO and they exercised leverage GEODIS. Suddenly the status was "received device" and a few hours later the situation was "under repair".

  Today I got the back me of the camera and unfortunately the technician obviously damaged my laptop:

  Link to photo

  The 'set of keyboard dial' swells out on the back side, because the technician had forgotten to leave one of the hooks snapping in place after Assembly. He realized that he oversaw the hook, then it has damaged the hook with the screwdriver (just look at the plastic) to allow snap (although by unscrewing the new notebook would be the appropriate way) and after that it does not, he just wrote 'all is well' on the delivery.

  In addition, my laptop has a few small scratches that did not exist before sending my laptop.

  On the more popular ThinkPad German forum, I read that GEODIS (the official service of the LENOVO Germany partner) is not very reliable and many people received in return for damaged devices.

  How is it possible that LENOVO cooperates with (GEODIS) people who are obviously dense?

  I look in my camera to see if the technician damaged something or not, because I live the next shock, I presume.

  I am very sad and very desperate and I would appreciate a comment from a member of the official forum LENOVO how to go on now?

  Thank you very much.

  Kind regards

• Beware of the scam "Windows Care" - have you been contacted by this group?

  Earlier today (February 13, 2015) I received a call from a representative of "Windows Care."  My phone number has shown not available 1-000-000-0000, regret picking up the phone.  An individual strong accent probably (India or Pakistan) knew my name and tried to scare me giving him access to my computer (Note: your name and phone number are public and readily available documents).  I played the game for a few minutes.  He informed me that his company manages Microsoft software problems and called to warn me that my computer was being hacked.  To prove that my computer has a problem he directed me to accomplish the following acts - press / hold the Microsoft key and press R.  He asked me type eventvwr.  At this point I asked the phone number and Web site - after the reception I ended the call.

  The provided phone number was (786) 245-1265 and the website www.windowscare.us.  I really hope there's a way Microsoft can follow the thief and put them out of business.

  It's a scam.

  Better ignored.

  Cybercriminals don't just send e-mails fraudulent and created fake sites Web.

  They also call on the phone and pretend to be able to solve problems, they "know" that you have.

  Never let an unknown person take control of your computer.

• Beware of the Adobe Stock offer

  I'm sure that it's old and repeated the news for some.

  Read the fine print before you try the offer Adobe Stock photos.

  Like many others, I was sucked in the free monthly offer. I chose annual contract, paid monthly.

  Read the agreement carefully. Unfortunately, I gave the words a quick look. If after 14 days you cancel early, you will be charged 50% of your remaining contract. For me, it is $ 150.00.

  Here are the terms of the Adobe web site.

  "If you cancel within 14 days of your order, you will be fully refunded. If you cancel after 14 days, you will be charged 50 percent of your remaining contract obligation and your service will continue until the end of the this month billing period.

  I pay for a service I have really little use for him. Sheesh!

  Can you help me Adobe?

• Beware of the Adobe Stock - nightmare Total offer

  Has never been the expression "Attention to men bearing gifts" truer than the nightmare I went trying to catch Adobe their trial for Adobe stock.

  Everytime I open photoshop an invitation to try stock Adobe bobs up - eventually it wore me down. He made it clear that I could try now - I would be charged for a month (£19.99) and then I could cancel whenever I wanted to. Despite the following venom - let say that I have benefited from 9 images "free." I said 'free', you will discover when you read about free images cost me money. As it happened that I found myself with only 9 images, that I wanted that the Adobe stock interface is not clear and it is very easy to find something that you didn't want - license that I shot first. Anyway - as a result of the poor interface and the very banal all of the images, I decided to cancel.

  I went to my account are expected to be able to do this but it appeared all I could do was to cancel my subscription to all - CC is my job and I didn't want to risk it - also I had paid just for a new month, four days before. So I started a live chat - which lasted about 45 minutes with no results. It was obvious that the agent knew nothing of the offer and the only thing he has proposed to do was to cancel my subscription. Then began the conversation more confused as possible when he said that he 'bill' me this and 'credit', which - with the numbers that had absolutely no sense. Despite my pleadings, there is no way that he could not simply cancel my stock of Adobe and go back to my regular account. Ultimately I realized that for the 'free' offer, they charge you for everything new subscription even if you already have one, so in this case I was charged £38.11 on 21 November and then £58.10 November 23 and then another £38.11 on 24 November. So the offer 'free', if I had not canceled it would have cost £134,32 during the first month.

  After much hassle, I have now managed to extract a credit note for £90,46 who wants to say that my 10 free photos (9 I wanted to sort of and 1 I do not have) have cost me £5.75 and over an hour of my life by train to sort.

  It was really a botched job for a company the size and reputation of Adobe and I urge the people to not be tempted by their offers whenever they open Photoshop. Services like dreamstime.com offer a much better and more flexible (no I don't work for them!).

  Hi MartinRTR

  I'm sorry that you had a frustrating experience with the supply of Stock.

  Whenever a regime change is made, this creates a load for the new regime and a refund for the unused on the previous plan.

  In your case you did pay £38.11 to your CC plan Nov 20.

  On November 23, the plan was changed to CC + Stock - fees of £58.10 and repayment of £34.30 of the original plan of CC

  On November 24, the plan has been changed back to CC - costs £38.11 and refund of £56,16 of CC + Stock plan

  Normally, for the first month of Stock is refunded within 48 hours, but as a regime change has been done in this period there was no refund for Stock.

  I have will process a refund for £5.75 and have added some credence to your plan of CC - next billing date is Jan 24.

  Kind regards
