Questions Solved

My cousin said that I should use Google Chrome because it's faster than other browsers available today. I uninstalled my Mozilla Firefox and let Google Chrome do its thing. It worked perfectly for a few days, then suddenly the page didn't load when I tried to open it. I keep on getting a message that says there's an error on the page and the page would probably under maintenance.

I don't remember that I touched any of its settings. I'm starting to fall in love with this browser. Now it's giving me a problem. Please give me your suggestions. Thanks

I've been looking for a genuine website where I can get up to date information on the latest threats on computers. I don't want to see the actual threats but some sort of report about it like what others are experiencing.

They say prevention is better than cure. So it would be very helpful if I am able to find what's new and how to avoid those threats. Right now, I am using this link. Please let me know if you have something better than the link I have provided. Your suggestions would be most appreciated.

Thank you.

I just recently had this Thunderbolt and it doesn't recognize my voice when I use my bluetooth headset. It is weird because the voice recognition software works perfectly without the headset.

I thought it was just a sound quality issue or too much noise in the background at first. So I went to a more quiet place and tested it but it acted the same. Using a headset is very important for me because I always work outside.

Anyone here had the same problem? Feel free to post here your suggestions and tips. Thank you so much. I appreciate it.

I am seeking for help regarding my gadgets on Windows 7, that suddenly stops working.  These gadgets are arranged vertically on my Sidebar, but its movable.

These are the clock, calendar, currency and many more from windows media player plug in. But lately, I can’t seem to load my gadgets correctly. Whenever I try to open it,  only a black box appears the same size as my gadgets. It was like a border box for each one with x button on the side but sometimes it doesn't have x only black box.

Is svchost.exe a harmful virus?

Yesterday,I used my computer and I noticed a problem. A file or program called "svchost.exe." I think it eats my processor up to 30%. I cannot stop the process because it wouldn't allow me. I also cannot restart the process so what I did was to restart the whole system to be able to check if its going to show again. After that I clicked on the yes button to be able to stop the process but nothing happened.

Is there anyway in which I can stop showing the program or stop it?

Hi!

I am using Filezilla and getting this error "Connection attempt failed with "ECONNREFUSED – Connection refused by server" when I tried to connect to my FTP accounts.

The old version of Filezilla is working perfectly. I really need to get this working because, I am using it for my own domain. I'm planning to create more domains in the future. 

I've tried watching videos on how to do it, but got no success. I really need a very good trick for this one. Is it possible that the Win 7 firewall is blocking the Filezilla server?

Any solutions would be most helpful. Thanks.
