  1. trojan on 2-day old laptop


    I bought acer laptop with windows 11 s installed and withing 2 days there was a trojan message on my computer. It said to ring a Microsoft number which I rang thinking it was authentic. It was a scam after 2 hours on the phone I hung up. I have had to reinstall computer to factory settings. They said we had been downloading porn and that there was an amount of $11.000 on our bank. This was because they led me to believe that had transferred me to my bank. On ringing the bank on a different phone I found this to be untrue and secured my bank. I hadn't given my bank accounts numbers. So much fo

  2. old email addresses

    Thank you for updating me HA.111

    Here is the step to remove that old email address.

    Start typing an email address into the “To” field. As soon as you see the old email address being recommended as one of the potential candidates, use the down arrow key to scroll through the list of suggestions. Once you highlight the old email address, type the delete key. In many cases, this will actually remove the entry not only from the current list of suggestions but from future suggestions as well. You may even find that as you mouse over the drop-down list the highlighted item will have an “x” to explicitly allow you to delete it.

    Just do this step and your good to go.

    Continue to have an escellent day HA.111

    Core 2 Duo for laptop CQ40-314TU

    I have found something about CPU Upgrade on the Intel's Website, the manufacturer of my laptop's chipset (GM45 Chipset). Currently, the CPU which this laptop is using (Dual Core T3400) is NOT in this list: http://ark.intel.com/chipset.aspx?familyID=35509
    The laptop's chipset also support Core 2 Extreme Technology, which I think the latest CPU Technology.
    I have another laptop called Acer Aspire 5572ANWXMi that is using the chipset 945GM which support the T7600 (like you suggested) and it is in this list: http://ark.intel.com/chipset.aspx?familyID=22816
