    False "Device performance and health" alert.

    Apparently nobody who has come across my query knows the answer yet. The false alerts keep cropping up on my computer monitor. To solve the problem temporarily, I run "HP Printer diagnostic utility", select the printer, click on "diagnose", then click on
    "refresh" and "restart". When the computer reboots, the false alert is gone but it returns every third time that I restart my computer. The "HP Printer diagnostic utility" does not reveal any irregularity and does not perform any fixes. There must be some
    routine that windows performs regularly and which is emitting the said false alerts. Can anybody suggest a fix to this problem, please?

    No suggestions have been forthcoming yet.

    Virus alert from microsoft edge

    Hello jodemo,

    The alert you received about virus is a common scam. We suggest that you close Microsoft Edge immediately. Make sure not to restore the sessions when you reopen Microsoft Edge.

    In addition, we highly recommend you to follow the steps provided by Bruce Hagen MVP on this
    thread link.

    Hope this information helps you. Feel free to post back if you need further assistance.
