This pic describes exactly why I recommend people NEVER use the form’s X button in the event of suspected adware, spyware, MALWARE, or any other random POP-UP… DO NOT DO IT. EDIT TO CLARIFY: This article is about the red X in the top right of the ‘window’ or form, but also includes other methods such as the ALT+F4 keyboard combination, and also even by using the standard “End Task” option within Windows Task Manager!! See the update at […]
When KillEmAll is run on Windows 10 you may get a critical error message of “Start menu and Cortana aren’t working. We’ll try to fix it the next time you sign in.” It offers to “Sign out now” button to fix the issue (and this does fix the issue in this situation), but it uses and Always on top window that gets aggravating trying to work around. If you add the “sihost.exe” to the whitelist […]
I was recently made aware of a social media post several days ago by “Instant Housecall” (the remote support software with the first generation d7 integration agreement) which touted: Improvements to Auto PC Repair (remote d7) have been rolled out.

Please accept my apologies, but to fess up, I did it… Recently I continued a project started earlier before summer, to move our download server to a more capable host, while splitting it into separate servers for different applications/updates so one failure wouldn’t affect all of our apps download/update capabilities, and also to pave the way for some new redundancy. Well between yesterday and today, we’ve had the usual download and update issues due to slow DNS propagation to […]

Backing up to image files is largely preferred by some users because it’s a lot easier to mount files like virtual hard drives for simple searching and recovery. You would need to consolidate all your data to be backed up to one partition to make that feasible. You could have the files such as My Documents, My Photos, My Music, My Videos and so on redirected to […]
How to I get the data off my devices?? There is backup and storage space available online for free (5GB for iOS/iCloud, 15GB for Android/Google Drive, 7GB for Windows Phone/SkyDrive), but getting all your data from all your devices could be tricky. You can get local copies of all your files on your computer to Google Drive or SkyDrive, if you have installed their applications. You would just have to add the files to the […]
How do I back it up?? First, you would make sure that your disaster-recovery and backup software is selected. Both, Windows 7 and 8, applications that are integrated to can complete system-recovery images. Although, in Windows 8 it’s hidden under Control Panel > All Items > Windows 7 File Recovery.
