Over the past several months I have received questions from readers asking how to do various things on Windows 10. Some were quite interesting and some I thought could be useful to other new Windows 10 users. Since sooner or later I believe we will all be “enjoying” what Windows 10 has to offer I…
Over the past few weeks I have received some emails from people saying they are getting warnings on their computers regarding the Windows 10 upgrade. No, this is not a new virus, a Trojan or any sort of malware hitting the scene. Our friend – Microsoft. Many of you who have not converted to Windows…
Google told the world on February 12 it will no longer support, wait are ready for it? If you said, "Picasa" you got it right (picasa.google.com). Now I will not yell too loudly about this one since I was not a big Picasa lover. It seemed a little convoluted to me; however, many people love(d)…

So the old tech query remains when you have problems, "Did you restart your system?" In previous versions of Windows OS you could…
Last week I told you about my situation after installation of a program I was testing to possibly recommend to you. After the test it failed to perform as advertised. I then uninstalled the app, went on about my business and realized it had put malware into my computer. This week…the aftershock. I dug…
It finally happened to me, the tech "professional." After years of reading, writing, researching, testing and reporting on technology and applications I got in trouble. When I suggest software to you I have always tested the applications or sites that I recommended before telling you about them. In testing software applications I test them in…
Have there been times when you want to sign up for something on the internet but knew once you did you would get "IT?" You know what "IT" is. It is tons of spam from some stupid site that looks like it has something you want or need. Sometimes even very reputable sites will start…
