Oh boy! lol. It would be sad if it was really a problem with UnBlock Tech all along. :D
I'm not sure what to say now. hahaha. Already have a new laptop and reset iPAD. One thing I do know is that UnBlock Tech worked fine. My parents still were able to watch foreign films/tv shows.
It...
In it, the forum advice lists:
Why isn't a factory reset sufficient?
Reinstalling the firmware, or the right way to do it
Programming the flash chip, but seriously just buy a new device
Their advice seems to say that updating the firmware may not work to remove malware (if I'm reading...
Back Again - Update & Few More Questions
Well, first and foremost, I'm very appreciative of your IT help. Again, from someone who doesn't know much about the topic, it's all like a great big mystery and having a forum like this is a huge help. So, ty again!
I was just about to implement...
Yeah - absolute best!
I would thumbs up your post if I could.
I'm sure I write overly long stuff, so to have the patience and technical skills to help someone like me is amazing!!
Latest Update on Progress
Your last post was extremely informative to me and helpful as always, carnageX!
Appreciate it! And here is my current stats:
I jotted down my Verizon Fios' router make/model info:

Hey, carnageX
As luck would have it, my dad's car got totally drowned during Hurricane Matthew and we lost power for a short while.
I had to postpone my device resets and securitization of our home network. But, in doing so, I also came across some new issues I thought I'd run by you for an...
I will! I'm very grateful for all of your input so far. It's probably the best I've seen. I posted this question at CNET, Computer Forum, Computer Forums (yes, those are two diff. forums), Wilder Security, Tom's Hardware, Stack Exchange, and other places and your answer is one of the more...
I forgot to add, carnageX, that I can still perform some of those things you listed, but it would have to be on the iPAD now that my sister's laptop and my old laptop are no longer in the house.
Did you still want those logs done? Thanks again man!
(edit: looks like my longer post is...
Hi, carnageX
Your post was very helpful. I posted my question (in exact form) on like a million other different internet forums and asked two friends who are computer science majors as well.
I jotted down (and bookmarked this page for future reference) some of your useful tips for dealing...
Hi,
I'm a true idiot. Let's get that out of the way. I really messed up with my computer security and there's no other way of putting it than to say that I'm a true idiot.
Putting aside my stupid actions, which I will describe below, I wish to ask knowledgeable and trained people for help in...
Hey guys - Thanks a bunch for the comments! :flowers:
I really appreciate the time and effort you guys put into it.
I am also appreciative of the reminder that using safe browsing and email habits is a good preventative measure to take as well, so as to not put yourself in a position of...
OH??? :eek:
Have others had this issue? I wouldn't mind paying for something if it meant better protection and less hassles for me! Thanks guys for the recs!
First, I wanted to thank everyone on this forum so much for their help in my other thread asking about which laptop to buy for someone like me who is not very computer literate on the technical side (those "gig," "mega" and "bit" words really have no meaning for me lol :lol:). This is a very...
Hey everyone!
Just to update, I went with the HP!!
So far so good and I'm pleased with my selection (and saved money!!!). Thanks so much to everyone here for the feedback. You guys actually did help steer me a bit in my final choice! I appreciate everyone's time and help greatly. And...
Thanks so much, iPwn!
I did check and the external optical drives are quite cheap ($40-60). Appreciate the feedback greatly!!
Just wanted to update everyone after a trip to Best Buy this weekend. ...And I fear you guys are going to kill me for this, but I have another question!! :lol...
