Was think'n......I had moved some startup programs into "Delay" in WinPatrol the other day so I moved everything back to regular startup and the DLL message did not pop up.

I'll see if that did it and then move them back one at a time to see who's doing what.

Thanks for the post.

I could backup to a computer that was not in the same room and that was in a locked area.

I was thinking about encrypting my HD but I have an auto backup program running that backs up new data every two hours.

Could I do that with an encrypted drive?

A friend has asked me to recommended a new laptop for him. He doesn't do gaming or video editing.......

I was thinking of at least a core i5, 8 GB of Ram and at least 1 TB of HD.

Screen size will depend on if it's going to be his main computer.

OS most likely Win 8.

What say you?

I have some videos I uploaded to YouTube (my videos) and would like to download them back to my computer. What's a good YouTube video downloader.

RichCopy sounds interesting. I use Second Copy 2000 that I bought years ago and it works like a charm but since I try to honor "you buy it so it's yours but not a dozen of your friends" I'm always looking for reliable FREE progies.

I have another computer that is networked and it has a slave drive that I backup to. But I thought it would be easy and cheap if I could use a flash drive.

thewolfe

Any problems with backing up to a flash drive daily? I'd like to auto backup once a day. Will it hold up?

Krom,

What would you suggest for a non-techie who was using their laptop either on wifi or wired, let's say in a hotel room or public wifi?

I know DON'T.

thewolfe

Thanks Krom

thewolfe

How about Portable Firefox? Any used it? Think it's safe and hides your coming and going?

thewolfe

Also, is there something else a non-techie could do to protect themselves in public?

A friend has a new game that he wants to play.

He needs a bigger power supply for the card.

Advised him against changing everything and buying a gaming rig.
