I was told that AVG (of virus) is not good.
I was told not to keep AVG (virus removal) because that was bad. is this true? I was told to REMOVE ALL THE OF moy. I clicked on AVGx2 on the desktop and there is no option to uninstall it. SOMEONE KNOWS WHAT TO DO?
Hello michelle.e.TH,
AVG anti virus is definitely not bad. As others have said, there are 'better' anti anti-virus there applications (not Norton or McAfee).
Of course, if you use Windows 8 then unnecessary AVG that you already have Windows Defender. It is also an anti virus / anti-Malware application.
AVG can be easily uninstalled via the screen of programs and features in Control Panel. Just look for the AVG entry in the list programs, click on it and it should start to uninstall.

need a new key for installation to install my old copy of vista on a new computer. I upgraded windows 7 which was the copy of vista on the pc
And if your copy of Vista was preinstalled on your old computer, it is classified as an OEM license is not transferable.
The license of Vista OEM is related to the original computer it is installed on and dies with the computer.
You cannot transfer it to another computer/laptop.You can transfer a license of Vista to retail, not an OEM license.

I was told that I have a keylogger. How can I find and remove?
My WOW account has been hacked. I was told that I have a keylogger. Ive has run antivirus and ad-aware and spybot scans. I have reset my account password and it happened again five hours later. How can I find the keylogger?
Hello
If you need search malware here's my recommendations - they will allow you to
scrutiny and the withdrawal without ending up with a load of spyware programs running
resident who can cause as many questions as the malware and may be harder to detect as
the cause.No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy
to detect malicious software often comes with a much harder to detect and remove the payload. Then
its best to be thorough than paying the high price later now too. Check with them to one
extreme overkill point and then run the cleaning only when you are sure that the system is clean.It can be made repeatedly in Mode safe - F8 tap that you start, however, you must also run
the regular windows when you can.TDSSKiller.exe. - Download the desktop - so go ahead and right-click on it - RUN AS ADMIN
It will display all the infections in the report after you run - if it will not run changed the name of
TDSSKiller.exe to tdsskiller.com. If she finds something or not does not mean that you should not
check with the other methods below.

iPad, Safari froze and was told that I had to call apple for support assistance.
My iPad Safari froze and was told that I had to call apple for support assistance. I called and gave the last four digits of my serial number of the iPad. They wanted me to download app and pay money, but it felt weird, so I hung up. Am I or my systems compromised in any way by calling and giving the serial number or hang up in time that nothing should be affected?
Do this...
Tap Settings > Safari and then slide down and tap clear history & data website, then reboot your iPad.
The number they gave you is not Apple.
Never give any personal data abroad on the net, including serial numbers.

No upgrade
I recently did the upgrade of the driver of the Doc and found things that I didn't exist on my computer, which was given to me by my nephew. He turns quiet and really did not have any complaints until after that I did the upgrade of the driver of the Doc. Now, that sounds like a grinding machine. I was told that when I talked about Facebook, I need to update my sound card driver. I did a search to see what it means, but I am not prepared to do right now. Can someone reassure me that it will be an easy fix?
Could be a problem of fan cooling, remove the side cover of the tower and see if you can see or hear the sound is coming from.
My advice would be the same. Certainly, it looks like a fan at the origin of the problem. Fans get older they intermittently can make noise. This would explain why you hear sometimes and not others.
Furthermore, to see if your sound card, causing the noise (which I doubt), just turn off all your speakers when you hear the noise. If the sound stops immediately, it's actually a sound card related question.
There are often several fans inside the computer. There will be one which is part of the power supply. Sometimes one or more attached to the casing of the computer itself (usually the Panel that you remove the first and one on the front of the case.) There will probably be one on top of the CPU (central processing unit), as well as on the video card.
Not recommended advice (which I did before) - gently tap on the center of the fan that you suspect is making noise. Jiggleling it will sometimes make noise to stop. In this case, you know which fan needs to be replaced.
Even worse advice (which I also done before) - take a small piece of wood (for example, a 1/4-inch dowel rod) and insert slowly into the fan to keep it from turning. If the noise stops, you have found the fan that needs to be replaced. Remove the stick to regularize quickly because he will always try to run and we don't want it burn.
If you can't find that a fan is causing trouble you want to replace as soon as possible because it will eventually stop working and cause one or more components in your computer to overheat.

Impossible to pass to 8.1 and I was told that I had to have an administrator account.
I have Windows 8 and tried to upgrade to 8.1 Windows. Went to the Windows store, asked the upgrade, I was told that I had to have an administrator account. Went to my computer, got the status of administrator, returned to the store, got turned down. Went on the Web for tutorials to anyone, but Microsoft, discovered that I really need a Microsoft account, driven around a few others and found a place to create a. Account login Windows told me I have a code word left by an outdated version of Windows, and no, I couldn't set a new account - they wanted that one. However - Sun through clouds - they would send me a code if I typed my email once again. AHA. IE far typed, closed (which had no menus or a new tab menu item), it opened and got my email from the Microsoft Team with my number of code in it!
Copied the code through the Windows logon account taradiddle again, entered the Security Code of the woohoo Microsoft team. Did not work. Waited a week for the bad brujo die down and crept through the routine once again. This time the magic worked, and Microsoft then informed me that I had to go to another step to add another layer of security.
I - Yes, I should have known it was wrong - and discovered that the new secret layer of security involved choose from three options, of which none apply to me--with, unfortunately, no provision for backup of the entire House of cards before she collapsed on me. Came to this site, tried to ask questions about my problem and been redirected to something unimportant. Tried again, asking the stupid question in the title above, got a popup trying to direct me to another irrelevant character. Ignored and typed this out.
Now that I finally got through, two questions:
1. Apart from buying a new computer, how do Windows 8.1?
2 we wouldn't be better to go back to Vista?
Original title: when you ask a question, why doesn't this site redirect you to a message rather than allow you to display the question irrelevant?

I was told that Premiere Pro is not compatible with Windows 10. Is this true and if so, I need to stop my subscription NOW. If I think it's the shit please keep my subscription but please send me an email of confirmation that it is compatible with windows 10. I had a hard time with some people emptying my pockets trying to sell me different windows on different hard drives in the same computer, which until now has completely messed up my (both high-end) computer.
Please help me as much as you can, but especially with programs that were in the windows all the time until recently Windows 10.

I tried asking chat support and I was told that it was impossible. I need to disable the updates because my school disables updates on the first day of class, and if my updates at home I will be not able to do work between school and home
You can install older versions if you use an older version. but the newer versions (for example, cc 2015) can always post files to open in cc.
