beware the ransomware

Fred Krueger   I am checking out creating a recovery disc and it seems windows 10 says to use a USB drive. OK, how large of a drive would I need, and would that be a complete copy of my C drive?

Lisa Toth   When I visit Nextdoor.com. I see a post I’m interested in I can not click on anything on the page, It takes forever to load anyway and I can’t get to the settings of the page to see if I need to change something.

Tony Pizza   At Saturday’s meeting, there was a question about vulnerability of other computers on a network with a vulnerable Win 7. But what if they are not on a home network but are only plugged in to the same router? Is that considered a network?

Lisa Toth   Two questions:  I am using Firefox as my browser.  I have win 10 and a Toshiba laptop.

Some sites that I want to visit and that I trust always get stopped by FF and I have to select allow.  I have tried to find a way to white list them but can’t find it.  Also, lately my browser has been slow.  Occasionally I get a message that a page is slowing FF down and do I want to wait or stop the page.

the Surface 2

Roger Houston   For a couple of months I have been having a lot of trouble with Outlook email in my Office 365. I do not get many of my emails due to a sync problem. Mostly for my user account, but sometimes with my wife’s user. Both emails appear in my Outlook user and are gmail.com accounts.

John Weigle   I just got an ad for Total AV. I downloaded it but after reading some other comments, I have reservations. I thought it was part of Avast because of the AV use.
