I think I will stick with MS Defender, at least for the time being. Being a Windows user is wonderful, isn't it? [/painfully miserable sarcasm]. Yeah... like macOS, Linux and the BSDs don't have any issues at all. I've not used MacOS or Linux (or BSD, which I had to google, as I thought you meant …

Interested to see what advice you get. Is there a reason not to use Windows Defender? I thought they were all liable to fail to find "novel" malware but once something had been discovered in the wild they all updated definitions pretty quickly. Oh I see googling tells me "Windows Defender lacks …

Being a Windows user is wonderful, isn't it? [/painfully miserable sarcasm]. I *might* have solved both of the problems with the laptop. I had begun uninstalling things that might be slowing the system down, and when I uninstalled Avast! Anti-virus, and rebooted, then everything started to load …

I have an old laptop, an Acer Aspire E1 Z5WE1 NXMEPEK Laptop E1-570 Intel i5 CPU (8 GB RAM, Windows 10), that until recently was running fine. But sometime in the past few weeks, it's developed two faults, which may be connected to each other, I don't know. These two faults are: Fault 1 - When I …

As we all know, Windows isn't great at memory management. The longer you use Windows, without restarting the PC, then the memory gets more clogged up, because Windows doesn't correctly free up the memory when a given program or function has finished with it's area of memory. Fortunately, there are a …

Duke 3D's jank is legendary. I love it to hell. I was a PC gamer when DN3D was released, and it really surprised me that (in the UK, at least) DN3D only received a tiny amount of magazine coverage compared to Quake. I found DN3D to be much better than Quake, but the magazines rarely mentioned DN3D …

For System Shock 2, don't use the official patch. Instead go here: https://www.systemshock.org/index.php?topic=4447.0 It's a fan site/forum/file download site for System Shock 1 and 2,and you should follow the instructions on that webpage. It includes SS2Tool , which automatically installs all …

Whenever my virus killer says something is infected, I always double check it with the brilliant VirusTotal ( https://www.virustotal.com/gui/home/upload ), the online virus checker that polls more than sixty virus checker engines ,including Kaspersky, BitDefender, Avast, Malwarebytes, …

An archive of no-CD cracks, or a program that contains a database of the inner workings of the cracks and can perform the functions of those cracks, would be very useful to devoted PC gamers, and I'm surprised that there isn't (apparently) a major project to do so. No doubt some of the cracking …

Its a bit more complicated than "they are all evil". Patch releases, parity, whatever you call it, gets very complicated when you are on multiple systems. Ms has its own set of rules, sony completely different each with its own restrictions and verifications. If your patch has some newly developed …

A couple of weeks back, NightDive Studios finally posted a definite release date for the console versions of System Shock Remake (a very good remake of the1994 classic first person shooter/melee/adventure game).
