    Pop-up opened my Folders, and tried to download something onto there


    Hello everyone, Last night I was on a site that I usually use from time to time to read comics, and when I clicked on one to read, it opened a new tab and was telling me that there was a new Media player update ready. Then my File Explorer app opened to my downloads wanting to save something onto there. I clicked cancel closed the Brave Browser, disconnected from my wifi for a bit, then scanned my PC with Malwarebytes the free edition and Windows Security multiple times, and then I checked my downloads or any other recent file that may have gotten onto my PC. And through all of that, there w

    Downloads Folder takes forever to open - tried everything!

    Hallo,My downloads folder takes forever to open, sometimes minutes before it has loaded every item.It is a common problem, and I've googled for answers but none of them seem to help. I've tried to right click on properties, and under customize set to general items, didn't work. I clicked on File Explorer and changed "show or hide" File extensions, but didn't work.Any suggestions?! Thanks!!

    Hearthstone open beta

    ... is now open!

    No wait, that's not the word.

    The word is ASS.

    Step 1. Download the client installer.

    Step 2. The installer connects to the server, or at least tries to, overnight during which it just stops several times.

    Step 3. Realize the installer is for the Battle.net unified launcher, and not Hearthstone as such.

    Step 4. Install the Battle.net unified launcher. This may take a few hours, even after it's been downloaded as such, it's still just slow.

    Step 4. Install Hearthstone. Wait for the app to crash a couple of times, wait for it to verify various stuff, then wait for the download to start.

    Step 5. Wait for the download to finish. It is pretty quick actually, unless it just crashes.

    Step 6. ASS

    And no, I still have no compassion for the people bitching about EA servers.
