I have a friend and he has a game installed on one computer and wants to update the game on another computer through the network. It involves double-clicking on the EXE file through the network. Is...

Could have done without the smarta$$ remark, but whatever. He's smart enough to know not to go to the spam websites. Actually, the hammer came down Wednesday night; a little early as I'd had...

My 14-year old son has been using my laptop as a home-school computer for a few weeks now, but can't stop screwing around with other things. I'm giving him until the end of this week to show me he...

EVGA GTX-750Ti worked, woohoo!!! Will try it with actual games later...LOL.;)

Ordered new video card this morning.

Now the only way to get my laptop to recognize the desktop HD is booting up the desktop in safemode. You think it really is the video card? Should I try and get into windows normally and run GPU-Z...

I cant even get into Windows now though, so cant check anything. It's trying to chkdsk on reboot and flaked out after about an hour, so I did it again and it's been about an hour and a half so...

Same thing just happened again, but this time the morning after cleaning out it still is pixelating with nv4_disp.dll blue screen eventually appearing (computer will not boot up and not recognized by...

Examined the minidump files, but not sure how to print them even though I believe I knew how many years ago. Both files say that nv4_disp.dll is probably the cause. Searching for this file seems to...

Well, it was sort of a single event but with multiple reboots. It's still running fine and I'm backing up stuff as I do it now or I just using the laptop. I believe the first BSOD file error file...

Well, it seemed to be working fine all day yesterday (even though I was a little paranoid and still using the laptop for work); it was on all day yesterday and booted up fine this morning. I'm...

OK, so it's over 7 years old (SkaarjMasterDuo computer in sig) and has glitched a little over the past 2-3 years, but what it did tonight was bizarre:

1. Locked up when I was switching screen in...

...and people wonder why I still have some WinXP machines...lol:D

Anything I can do to move it along faster? I tried running it overnight a month ago and that didn't work either. There has to be something I can try.

Do you have the link for the Fix It tools?

My son has Win7 and we still can't update Win7 on his computer because it takes too long. Any solutions for this yet? Thank you.

:) It worked!!! Looks like Zemana AM took care of it. It detected a suspicious browser setting (safesurfs.net) and repaired it. FixPoweliks64 did not detect the Trojan.Poweliks. Chrome comes up...

I got it here:

I'll see if I can try it today, if not it might have to wait until next weekend. Thank you again.

Is that the tool or the virus? I see some stuff on how to get rid of it, but not a program to DL. Do you have a link?

He turned on his computer for first time since earlier this week and at first AdwCleaner came up saying it removed something, google chrome and no strange page, it went directly to home page. Got...

Yep, checked that too.

Did that earlier (0 threats found) in safe mode, also regedit search and c: drive search brought up nothing. Also, did the Avast browser search thing and nothing. Tried resetting Chrome also. Here...

Back again, this time he has the safesurf.net issue in Chrome. Now if we hit home in Chrome, then we can continue but it is still a problem. Tried everything from before and still there. There is...

Does Pogo use KNCTR? If so, will uninstalling or getting rid of KNCTR through SuperAntiSpyware screw up the functioning of Pogo (small games site)? I don't see KNCTR installed in Add/Remove...

Software was updated as much as needed beforehand, so probably a non-issue; I'll just make sure and use "...with networking" next time. All the links to google have nothing extra at end of command...
