Is your computer running slow?

Are you looking to buy a new computer but don't know what to look for?

Are you looking for people to game with?

Looking to buy a new phone?

Do you have a question about computers or the interwebs?

Ask here and I'll be glad to lend a hand in any way I can.

Agreed with Em!

Joeyy | 21:01

Sometimes the page does show, and then it downloads setup.exe I haven't clicked on it.

It looks like my computer has 7.9GB. I'll try to access that performance thing if my computer gets really slow again..maybe it won't happen again though!

Joeyy | 21:20

I give up for now; this is doing my head in. When you can, let me know if you think I should open whatever it keeps downloading or if you think there's a virus or something, please. :]

juicy1 | 21:40

Joey you may have a faulty pen. How does the pen get power? Batteries? Charging?

Send me your teamviewer in a PM, I believe you have a virus.

juicy1 | 21:42

Kaleb, that is a ton of memory, I'm curious to see how much is being used.

Joeyy | 21:46

Charging via a USB plug wire/cable thing. I'll try that before complaining to the company I bought it from. Just feeling a bit lazy and impatient at the moment. :p

OK, I will do. I'll put the kettle on first.

juicy1 | 22:30

When you plug it in, does the computer try to install drivers or does the pen light up?

Joeyy | 22:54

Sorry, Joe, just have to do something. Really appreciate the help and will get back to you soon, buddy.

Ou perfect thread.

I've been getting this weird redirect from some websites (happened with LSI too). It takes me to a "Java update" but it's clearly a virus or something suspicious. It's coming from a website called wrodland but I can't trace it. It's fairly new and doesn't seem to have a pattern. Any ideas where it's coming from? Thanks

Joeyy | 23:59

Hm, sounds like what happened to me earlier. Thankfully it's only been on the one site so far. I'm not sure Joe's around at the moment; think he might be relaxing with a tequila.

juicy1 | 00:07

Xeyna, that redirect is malware. Download malwarebytes and perform a full scan. Please post what the scan finds, if anything.

Captain_Keeta | 00:13

Joe, dumb question but how many years in college does it take to get where you're at?

juicy1 | 00:19

Define what you mean by where I'm at, position wise or knowledge?

cutie_13 | 00:20

I happen to be taking a similar route to Joe. Long journey ahead for me.

Captain_Keeta | 00:30

Position wise.

juicy1 | 00:38

8 months to become an engineer for me. It takes significantly longer in most cases, usually 2 to 3 years.

Joeyy | 00:38

You have our support, Em.

Joe, are you still up for having a gander tonight or shall we wait until a more convenient time?

juicy1 | 00:39

We can do it another time.

cutie_13 | 00:40

Thanks, Joeyy.

Joeyy | 00:41

Sure. I'm good for whenever, but you should relax with your tequila. Just don't let me forget, haha.

Captain_Keeta | 00:44

Thanks Joe.

juicy1 | 00:46

Are you interested in the field Jeff?

xeyna | 00:51

Thanks, Joe. I'll take a look when I'm home tonight.

Captain_Keeta | 00:51

Somewhat. Haha.
