Windows 10: Continued & unexplained GB loss. Urgent request for next course of action.

This is the third time I'm here, asking the Community for aid with this issue. So to try and summarise: I came across booby-trapped files from what I thought was legitimate site back in mid-March but within days I noticed the effects. Rapid GB loss despite downloaded files not matching that number e.g. 550 MB file downloaded but 6-7 GB being lost within a 48 hour period, escalating to the point that speed dropped.

(SOLVED/CLOSED)looking for help with Android phone CONSTANT wireless signal notification

Yeah, thats not a solution she is interested in......I've suggested that course of action. Thanks though.

Nokia X6 - unexplained active connection

oh dear - another unexplained connection established this morning!



i've checked the packet data setting - it was set to "when needed".



I've taken the bold step of deleting "Vodafone internet GPRS" from the list of internet destinations. I now only have wifi connections stored in the internet destinations folder.



I expected therefore to now be unable to connect to the internet via GPRS, and this has indeed happened. I will phone vodafone and get them to resend the GPRS settings via text.



Boring.



In the meantime i know for sure that the phone won't be able to establish any unexplained connections!



the mystery continues though.....



i'll wait a while though - something (an app) may prompt me that it wants to connect to the internet and so i'll hopefully be able to identify the culprit then!

Eliminate continual request for Picture or PIN as sign in

Hello Elaine,

Setting up a PIN is is good, however if you don't want to be asked to setup a PIN or Picture password, I suggest that you try these steps below:

2. After clicking, enter your password as usual.
