      EXCUSE ME PLEASE, this is uncalled for. The advertisement taking up half of my window an I am paying for a subscription to Windows Secrets, this ad is for getting a FREE version of Windows Secrets. This is from WS and is not fair for those of us that are paying for our copies of WS.

      I have been a paying member since the days of ” Langa List”. I’ve seen my share of scams but I can usually scare them off with cries of “But my Ubuntu is not connected to the internet!” Give most of them two problems to solve simultaneously and most will quit.

      Hello Susan,
      I’ve been a member since Fred Langa was on his own. I was having a problem with running PCPitstop using IE 11. Your tip about compatibility mode solved it. Thank you!

      Great info on this nasty program. My wife had the same experience with one of the older fake anti-bad guy programs, in that she clicked the red X to close the warning only to find the bad guy got in anyway. Next time it happened she called me and I tried most of the tricks to prevent installation. She asked if we could just power down manually (5 second power button hold) and this solved the problem. Works if you do not have unsaved work that you care about.
