If you’ve been using Facebook for a while you’ve probably noticed that many people “Like” their own posts just as soon as they post them.
That can be viewed as a form of vanity, right?
I mean, seriously, is it really cool to “Like” your own posts?
Well, truth be told, in most cases it isn’t vanity at work at all. It’s simply a method you can use to jumpstart the engagement you’ll receive on every post you publish on Facebook.
Question from Oliver: I’ve been using Malwarebytes for several years with good results but it recently started causing my computer (Lenovo laptop with Windows 10) to freeze up.
I know it’s Malwarebytes that’s causing the freeze-ups because when I use Autoruns to prevent it from loading automatically with Windows the problem goes away.
I did some research and found out that Malwarebytes apparently doesn’t play well with certain computers running Windows 10, so I’d like to just remove it from my hard drive.
The problem is when I try to uninstall it I get an error saying it wasn’t successfully uninstalled.
Can you tell me what I need to do in order to completely remove Malwarebytes from my PC?

Question from Brenda: I recently bought my very first iPhone after using a flip phone for years, and I like it ok.
The thing is when I was looking at the demo phone in the store I could read the screen just fine.
But now when I look at mine I’m finding that I have to struggle to make out the text, and even some of the icons. I have more trouble with the text though.
I know my eyesight isn’t what it used to be, but I guess it’s not too bad for a 74 year old.
Anyway, is there a way to make everything on the screen appear larger? [Read more…]
