Anyone else with any computer problems?

[kentuck]

I am on a tablet. My home computer was hit last night and it appears it wiped out almost everything?

I am not usually of the conspiratorial type...

1. It's easier to target a PC

than a tablet...I've never met a hard drive I could not recover, unless there was physical damage to the unit.

2. You ask too many questions

The hacky-sacks frown upon such behavior.

3. Twitter keeps freezing up.

That's about it.

4. YES

I have no idea what happened. First, I lost my internet connection. I finally got that up again, had a tough time getting back into Windows 10, and everything was gone. Don't know where it went. I haven't attempted to recover anything yet. I'm on my iPad now. Checked on it earlier and it is still gone - I was hoping it was a bad dream, guess not.

6. Windows 10 is a highly insecure operating system, esp. when Cortana is enabled.

You can stop all of those annoying tricks to get you to upgrade to WIN10.

14. Stop many viruses, tracking cookies, and speed your computer up with...

.


Firefox (since MSIE is risky) and add on the NoScript Plugin.

5. Qubes 3 and a quality UPS.

.


Just make sure the computer uses Intel chipsets, with restrictions states on the Qubes OS website.

You don't need the Intel chips, they are recommended to take your desktop security to its highest available level.


Mainly the chips without the corporate remote access and management capabilities.

10. This is just crazy.

"Mainly the chips without the corporate remote access and management capabilities. " worst idea ever but it served it's purpose.

7. This isn't funny at all.

Could be coincidence, but I'd get it to a geek right away for an autopsy. Buy the very best total security software you can find and keep it updated.; also scan daily. Good luck!

I get several hits for Russian wives. This is new.
