Homer Thompson Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 What's te best free software for finding adware at the moment? I have something on my computer and can't trace it but Adaware and Microsoft Security Essentials have yet to find it. Don't want Avast as it plays up with my patch for Pro Evo. Spybot is worth a try. How do you know you have something if your security software cant detect anything? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Spybot is worth a try. How do you know you have something if your security software cant detect anything? Already have Spybot, hasn't found anything either. I'm getting a few suspicious pop-ups appearing from time to time which are similar to ones that were appearing when I unintentionally installed someadware a few weeks back. I think it's the remnants of that but can't find out where it is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, if Adaware, MSE and Spybot havent found anything then theres a good chance you dont actually have anything! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t1t3h Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 (edited) I'm buying an external hard drive for my laptop because it's running out of space, whilst looking on Amazon I noticed external graphics cards. I only play Football Manager on it and it is getting slower and slower. The matches have to be played in 2D because the 3D makes the game freeze. When I 1st bought the game it ran perfectly (4 or 5 stars), now I'm lucky if I get 2 stars on the performance thing when you start a new game. So my question is, do I need a graphics card or will I be fine with just an external hard drive? If I need a graphics card, can somebody recommend an external graphics card in the £30 - £40 region? I don't have a clue about graphics cards etc. The laptop is a dell Latitude D620 with Windows XP. Edited March 4, 2013 by t1t3h 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightswoodBear Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Does anyone know of a decent, quick program for uploading video files onto an iPad? I use VLC for my iPhone, but it appears that app isn't available anymore. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still there sadly - thought Spybot had got it but I keep getting redirected to sites related to easyfiledownload.com or some similar nonsense when I try to access some normal websites - this one being one of them. My own fault as I installed some piece of crap from that website a few weeks ago that I thought was a genuine file I was after. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian84 Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 I need help.... My notebook no longer detects my cd/dvd drive. It's a Samsung NP355V5C-A0EUK, and is Windows 8. I tried this which initially worked and detected the cd in the drive, but it then disappeared after 2mins. I've tried various hints and tips and got nowhere. I'm not 100% on what i was looking for, but on the BIOS screen it shows two SATA ports, one listed the hard drive, and the other stated "not installed" - i'm guessing this is the cd/dvd drive? Cheers for any help! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 have you checked your list of programs, might be something has installed itself or even your browser add ons Aye, went through that a few weeks ago and it was still doing it. Seems to have stopped for the time being. Fingers crossed! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zanetti Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Anyone know if the Samsung Galaxy Y uses a regular sim card, or a micro-sim? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozam76 Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Regular I'm sure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zanetti Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Regular I'm sure. Cheers! Think you're right, just one website claimed it used the micro-sim, so I wanted to be sure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael W Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 I downloaded something akin to the trial version of Virtual DJ (I can't remember what it was I had, sorry). I then loaded the song I wanted, paused it at the point I wanted and recorded the section I wanted. You can choose the output as MP3 or WAV. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as you have your Kindle username and password, yes. Same as having your library across multiple devices (phone, Kindle, iPad). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
