Why cryptojacking malware is a bigger threat to your PC than realized
---Quote---
Cryptocurrency mining malware has been one of the most prolific forms of malicious software distributed by cyber criminals throughout 2018, but given how some view it as relatively benign compared with other more damaging attacks like ransomware and trojans, it's occasionally overlooked as a threat.
However, cryptojacking malware - which secretly hijacks the processing power of...

Home Network: Which Ports must be open when no need to share files
I am still trying to tighten my firewalls etc, and when googling (or DDG'ing in my case) I noticed that any question related to network security automatically is answered with the assumption in mind that the person wants to maintain a sharing capability with the other computers in the house, like printers, files, whatever. With the result that answers are tailored toward that, skipping over the...

How do I close ports, including those needed for sharing files
I just realized there are suggestions at the bottom after you post a new thread which I did a minute ago.
Unfortunately I used the word OPEN so all the suggestions are for that. I rephrased my questions with the word CLOSE. (Sorry, but who knows when someone will respond.)
UPDATE:
I immediately got suggestions for other posts which I read.

CPU temp and setting up fans in bios
Hi guys
A little help please.
I have a Windows 7 64 bit system that has been running since 2014.
Of late I note my CPU gets to 50+' and I'd like to move it down a little.
This happens during video rendering.
I make sure to keep it cleaned out inside.

No hibernation or sleep after upgrading to SSD
I just installed a new Samsung NAND SSD 860 EVO drive in my desktop. After cloning it and then disconnecting the previous Seagate hard drive, I can't put the computer into either sleep or hibernation. I've tried resetting in Power Options, reloading Enable_Hibernate.reg, and also something else using cmd.exe to check what all is connected that can wake.
I've got it set to hibernate when I...

Now, when i open a photo to include either in an email or other site, I have to go to Paint, which is never very reliable, I...

Outlook 2016 Personal file using format Outlook Data File (97-2002)
Windows 7 x64 Office Professional 2016
I just found out that my Outlook is using Personal file format Outlook Data File (97-2002) which means ANSI according to what I've learnt. I wanted to change it to the UNICODE format that's been in use since 2003.
I am confused however by these facts about my outlook folders. The archive.pst file is 3+ GB in size and uses a file format of Outlook Data...

29GB Windows folder, able to shrink?
Hey, I've noticed my Windows folder has been bloating, is there any way to reduce it further?
I've already done Windows Update cleaner in the Disk Cleaner and cleared all my caches.
I've even done some potentially dodgy stuff like manually cleaning my DriverStore.
Is there anything else I can do? I'm open to different things.

Multiple Partitions on HDD
I'm trying to Clone a HDD using AOEMI Backup facility. Trouble is the HDD in the Laptop I'm trying to clone has 5 partitions and AOEMI will only clone 3!
Windows 7 offers me no way of merging these partitions so I have downloaded AOEMI Partition Assist.
The HDD seems to be in a bit of a mess having crashed and now been restored I'm sure it shouldn't have 5 partitions.
Can anyone...

From my googling and from an unsuccessful chat session with Microsoft I see little hope of fixing this recurrent error. Is there a workaround which might avoid the need for the WMSRT? Third-party software?

Hello everyone,
I have 2 desktop computers. One is an old XP machine which I don't go online with and the one I'm using right now which has Win 7 pro on it. I took lots of abiword text files and moved them from XP to 7 thinking Wordpad would convert them. Not so.
Now every time I create a wordpad document and save it somewhere it has the abiword symbol over it. If I check the properties of a...
