One very easy way to remove stubborn borwser hijackers is run system restore, as it is quick and easy. Click start button or start orb, go to all programs, go to assessories, go to system tools then click on system restore. Running system restore you will select a date before the application was installed. This is easy, to do and once it is finished configuring the restore will ask to reboot and then when you restart the system it will tell you if the restore was successful or not.

I tried windows 8 customer preview and I hate it. You have to take two or three steps to do what I could have normally done in one step. You call that progress. Microsoft is going to see their sales of windows 8 to be the biggest flop in the history of new operating systems. How many people have a touch screen??? This is an operating system that is not geared for the public. It is a very frustrating to use. How many people use the stupid icons that are displayed on their startup page??? When you click on the icons on the start page nothing really happens…. I think this is geared for the IPAD type of user, but I don’t think that 95% of the market of current systems are ready for this type of operating system. MS may think that their revenue has dropped over the last couple years, this crazy operating system will cause it to drop even further, and is going to be the biggest disaster in windows history.

The removal process is for removing the partition of certain clickfree drives. I have an older drive that has the same crazy frustrating software. Is there firmware that can remove this partition from the 100 gb drive. The firmware of the drive is 7.31. I have tried the firmware of the for the click free drive you listed but it would not recognize the chip on my drive so obviously it is the wrong firmware version. the model is HD701. Thanks for the help

I definitely would not rely on SSD drives for data, once a SSD drive fails the data is gone, no one can recover it. At least when mechanical drive fails there is a greater chance that the data can still be recovered, even if you need to take it to a data recovery place. A SSD drive is good to run your operating system and your applications, but do not rely on it to save your data.

I was disappointed with the acronis software because although I have only used it on one computer to transfer an image to a new drive for backup purposes. It only let you use the lisence for one computer. Lets say I no longer have the old computer that I used the image on. It will not let me use the software on another computer, due to the fact when I try to register it to activate it on another computer it says it is already licensed to another computer. That is not fair. Unless I am mistaken.

It could be bad capacitors on the motherboard, open your case and check to see if any of the caps on the board are bulged out, swollen or leaking. This is a known issue with some brand of mobos. See badcaps.net to recognize what the bad caps look like.

We also need to know how the printer is connected to the desktop computer, ie via usb or parallel cable. Is the computer that is connected to the printer turned on? In order to share a printer with other users, the computer that the printer is connected to must be turned on.

Since multibple computers are failing, do the same systems cause problems when you take it to the place where you bought it? If it does not it could be the location where you have your system located. Is there enough air circulating around the case? Newer computers produce more heat due to larger cpus, and peripherals inside the case, it is therefore crucial to not place the computer in an enclosed space where it may cause the system to over heat. Any vents on the computer case should not be covered and air should be allowed to flow freely to cool it off. As previously mentioned it could be hardware issue with something that is plugged into the computer such as the mouse or keyboard, or even your printer. …. could even be a bad cable. If you still have your old machine try plugging these items in your old machine to see if it will cause the same problem as you get on your new system.

Thanks Joe, I think that has done the trick, my email is opening properly without the anoying popups. I noticed when I added the gmail to the trusted sites there is a selection with a check box that says: “Require server verification (https:) for all sites in this zone”. I unchecked this box. I am sure this is why I been getting the popups. You can close this thread as I feel the problem has been resolved.

I checked my settings in Gmail “do not always use https was already selected. This is why I am stumped.

I am using windows 7, proffessional, and Internet Explorer 8.0. I not sure if it is a setting in Internet Explorer that I need to change, or if it is a setting I need to change in my G-mail account. I tried making changes in both but can not find the setting that will turn it off.
