Lisa Toth I just finally got mail on outlook after not getting any since Tuesday. Have no idea how many emails I got but I know it is a couple hundred. It’s Friday. Absolutely nothing was changed to make it stop or start. I rebooted the computer a couple minutes ago and that’s when it started downloading. I had rebooted a couple times each day thinking that might help.

Fred Krueger All of a sudden I cannot get internet connection to my TV. I have turned off the router and the TV box, played with the router settings where I had to log into everything on the computer to get it up again. The router indicates the wifi is up an running I put in the correct password and everything checks except internet connection. Any Ideas? I have talked to Spectrum, and they passed me on to Samsung. The verdict is the problem is my router settings.
I am having a lot of difficulty with the Netgear genie.
It would help if I knew more about this router setting business.

Lisa Toth I have found out that messages I did not move to a folder have disappeared from the inbox. They don’t seem to be in the deleted folder nor are they in my computer trash bin. Where do they go? I can’t find anything older than 8/16.

Fred Krueger What was the name of the life lock alternative you mentioned, and I think you can change the sleep key to go into hibernate instead of sleep.

Lisa Toth At the meeting you talked about not letting a computer go into sleep mode. I walk away from my computer many times a day. So I guess I need to tell it in settings to never go to sleep and then shut it down or reboot it when I’m through for the day.

internet privacy

Tony Pizza The HTML editor I need to match / replace is AceHTML – version 5 Pro.

Lisa Toth I’ve been thinking about “pay” internet. I’m thinking that like cable tv you’ll sign up for a “channel” and have access to a lineup of content. Like Google might offer all of it’s pages plus other Independent “pages”.

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.
