Q&A: How do I remove a virus when my antivirus app won’t open?

Posted on July 28, 2023

Question from Bailey: Hi, Rick. I have a bad problem and I need help ASAP.

I was browsing Facebook last night and clicked on a link that caught my attention. As soon as I clicked it my screen went solid blue and the computer froze up completely.

I finally just unplugged it and it booted back up into Windows, but now none of my programs will open. It’s running real slow too.

That isn’t always a problem when searching for “facts” because many facts just don’t change over time.

For example, if you type largest planet in our solar system into Google, the answer you receive should be Jupiter whether the article you click on was written in 1998 or 2023. After all, Jupiter hasn’t gotten smaller and the other planets haven’t grown any larger.

On the other hand, if you search for latest medical research some of the pages returned by Google could possibly be woefully out of date.

Luckily, there’s an easy way to ensure that your Google search results are at least fairly recent… [Read more…]

Opinion: Microsoft can’t seem to stop trashing their own reputation.

Posted on June 23, 2023

A while back I wrote a post explaining why I believe Microsoft’s Windows Update procedure needs a lot of work.

At the time I was hopeful they’d have their act together by now, but I’m afraid that simply isn’t the case.

Virtually every Windows Update they’ve released this year has been buggy and caused problems for a significant percentage of Windows users.

In short, the problem seems to be getting worse instead of better.
