Slow computer
Posted: 8/30/2012 2:19:41 PM


Smart PC Cleaner is installed but not up to date and paid for. Is this a good one or should I get another one. What would you suggest? On Start up the following programs are listed. I dont know what all of them are
Realtek HD, Synaptics Pointing device driver, hp launch box, Smart PC, PC Speed maximizer, HP on screen display, Carbonite, Anti phishing Domain Adviser. This is my mothers laptop and I know she need the carbonite backup. What should I delete?


I've noticed that most who have replied to don't understand computers very well or have not even bothered to reply to the questions you have asked so I'm going to help you.

Smart PC Cleaner is not very smart, Get rid of it, it will cause more issues then fix.

There are two programs that will help you Remove a lot of useless items from your Computer, and being for Free.

These are Crap Cleaner (CCleaner for short) and Toolwiz Care.

Now for the items you have on Startup, I will explain what you need to remove and what to keep.

Realtek HD is your Audio Controller for Sound on the Laptop - KEEP
Synaptics Pointing Device is your laptop touchpad you use your finger on - KEEP
HP Launch Box bunches together applications for easy access on the laptop - OPTIONAL REMOVE
Smart PC is your smart pcs application Suite - KEEP
PC Speed maximizer is a poor optimizer and will cause more issues then fix - REMOVE
HP onscreen Display enables graphical displays on your screen - KEEP
Anti phishing Domain Adviser is a shoddy phishing site redirect - REMOVE

Any decent Anti Virus will monitor sites you visit so you should never need to add more programs to your PC.

On suggest is ESET Smart Security, which you can get a 3 years license for about 40 euro.

Most browsers have different builds with added security and some questionable methods of data mining.

Chrome will monitor all your internet browsing for Google
It's big brother Chromium will not.
Chrome Canary is the most up to date development Chrome that updates daily.
You can add extensions like "Ad Block Plus Beta" and "Ghostery" to improve security.

Firefox has similar builds but don't phone home with your browsing activity.
Aurora being beta and Nightly been the nightly builds.
The addons for firefox called "No Script", "Ad block Plus" and "ghostery" will make Firefox the safest Browser on the planet.

If you would like any more help on this matter, feel free to ask.

Microsoft Knowingly Misleads Trial Version Consumers
Posted: 8/30/2012 1:42:07 PM
This was your own fault to be quite honest.

The EULA and Installer informed you it would update any previous installs and this has been the way for many office products for many years.

It's not microsofts fault you never read it or even did some homework on the Office suite before you even installed it.

Acer are as incompetent as their cheap E-machines are, All versions of Office come with a Product key or an OEM key which is likely the one "embedded" in their restore cd and the person you spoke to just didn't want to or didn't know how to get it.

It's these OEM keys that people have being using to illegally "activate" windows products for years.

You're 46, not 10, it don't take 5 seconds to see why they have issues with your photos, it's a dating site not a w**** house.

Maybe stop uploading such provocative pics onto your profile and they wouldn't impose such restrictions on you.

Sorry i don't believe in that any way at all.

We all have jobs and family and people who may notice us on here, to use work as an excuse because you're embarrassed to be a member of a dating site is your fault, not your work colleagues. Welcome to the 21st century, it's 2012 not 1980.

Why is he so cruel
Posted: 3/13/2012 2:13:39 PM

Im not gonna blow this out of proportion, im just wasting my time, its like talking to a brick wall. Its called SUPPORT, and she doesn't need people like you telling her how wrong she is and pointing out all the mistakes she is making. I never once said i know it all, so stop making ridiculous accusations! You are wrong for making her feel bad... plain and simple, any psychologist will tell you that just makes the situation even worse. There are ways to tell someone they made a mistake without rubbing their face in it. Its people like you that make others think its okay to judge someone without realizing what harmful effects they can have on the person. In my opinion i think you just dont have anything better to do, so your just trying to make someone feel bad without any consideration for how she feels. If she wanted your direct opinion she would ask for it. Lets just say she made a mistake and let it go


If people don't tell her she was wrong then she will never learn from her mistake, this is a dating site not a relationship support site, get over yourself. You keep telling us we don't know the real story which is you telling us we don't know what happened which is typically you trying to tell us we don't know as much as you, I'm sure as an American you can understand that logic or should i type it in simplified English for you

I'm sure she will learn from her mistakes by bottling it all in, because that's worked so well in the past /s

God help any couple that gets you as a guidance counselor.

Anyways, I'll leave you to to sugarcoat reality sitcom boy.

And maybe you shouldn't judge people negatively, until you know the whole story bordorfox. Try to understand how she feels in the matter.


I don't think you understand the nature of a direct question, "Why is he so cruel" is a direct question in a open discussion thread, therefore you will get answers whether you like or dislike those answers is the pinnacle choice of the author of the thread. We all have different views and opinions and you will not like everyone's, but that's why we're all unique and why polls and questions require these difference of opinions, can't have all the same answers..

You say we know nothing yet you know it all? Just because someones answer is not yours doesn't mean it's wrong whether it's positive or negative. It's people like you who sugarcoat negative trying to make life look right, giving false hopes of positive so negative hits them like a brick wall. People need negativity and positivity in their life, it's how we learn right from wrong and good and bad and evolve.

She's learned a valuable lesson and we can only hope she has learned from it and move on.

SOMETHING TELLS ME you should mind your own business and stop judging a person you don't even know! were you there? NO, so stop assuming she is to blame. I swear! i cant stand people who judge others without even knowing the real facts. The fact is this POS guy used her and told her nothing but lies!, and you can just boldly make such statements carolann when you dont even know the whole story! Just let the girl vent, she is not asking for your opinion so keep your negative comments to yourself


No harm to you mate, but if we were to all go by what you keep jumping down other peoples throats for you should mind your own business too, you're not the OP or in any other way inclined to tell people what to do, The girl asked in a open forum for peoples opinions, if she doesn't like any reply, she's an adult and can reply herself or shouldn't have opened a public discussion in the first place.

What happened was you got used and abused, which is understandably hurtful and makes you mad and you can't help but how you felt for him after falling hook , line and sinker into his BS.

What you need to do is build a bridge and move on and forget he even happened, and please don't be tarnished towards men because of one idiot, the world is like a big orchard and like any good orchard you have good and bad apples, you just happened to get a bad one your first try but you will get a good one.

I will however note that it's a fleeting mistake by many women to want the bad boy and liek the bad boy image then whinge when they're actually bad, think about these things, you should never dive into a relationship like a pool, you need to dip the toes in before you jump in, same goes for any relationship.

A guy will never go all super mushy like that unless he's after something, sure you have typical compliments, but the way he spoke to you by your examples shout player all over them.

You're a good looking girl and can do better, learn from your mistake and you will be fine, lot more fish in the sea, pardon the pun

Dating sites good or bad for dating self esteem?
Posted: 2/23/2012 1:24:34 PM
I think it can at some level, most women or at least most i have come across on here on this site in my local region have being shallow, selfish, ignorant. While most have the option of whether to reply or not, most will do it abruptly even mid chat, usually if something in their list of wants gets dented, like for example you mention you don't own a car, so they run for the hills without as much as a bye, because a car defines us?. The problem with dating sites is the shear choice women have and they're awfully spoiled and within time it just becomes another window shop for them.

I think because statistically most guys on dating sites are already in relationships, women tend to get a lot of mail from guys who just want you for a good time not a long time, so they get annoyed a lot and i can understand were they can be reluctant to open messages with guys with their third nipple on show.

But they just need to realise there is guys out there that are not so vain or vulgar but can be shy, not a English major to write a novel in messages to get ignored at the drop of a hat as she moves onto the next guy. Guys can have feelings just as girls can and girls thread all over those at a whim because of the few liars and cheats on here but then shed a tear play the persecuted one and use the excuse that just know what they want.

It's a dating site, you don't know what you want already just by being here..

Peace out

Star Wars and Harry Potter Fan = single for life?
Posted: 12/20/2011 2:04:33 PM

Everything in moderation except your passion. The one man I know with an absolute passion for those two movies does appear to be doomed to be single for life at 35.

You can love them, but if any passion excludes a partner, you'll be alone. If the passion is too much for you to let go, it is important to look for women who share that, or one like it, with you.


Very conceited of you to speak of a friend like that.

However, You don't take into account the possibility of shared passions or the fact you just guess at best and nobody can speculate on guesses of what a single person can do in the future or what their love life can turn out.

Perhaps you were excluded from a partners passion previously and hold some bitterness towards one who can have passion but alas we can't all stagnate thinking about what was or what can be, we can move to the future and any woman who feels she can't love a guy because of what genre of movie he likes or what what he likes to do is nothing but a shallow being.

Some like to think there is an ideal match for you out there somewhere, if they want to get out there and find them, that's their choice, if not that is also their choice, has nothing to do with if they like star wars or not and anybody who says different is delusional or conceited too.

Posted: 12/20/2011 7:56:05 AM
Usually being a star wars fan or anything sci fi based or most fiction usually denotes some sort of intelligence, although reading this thread has given me reason to doubt the intelligence level on here, the geek factor, which a lot of women can be attracted to, can be just another personal preference that women can have and want you regardless of what movies you like, as low and behold people have different tastes, we all can't have the same tastes or we wouldn't be unique.

Do women have too many options?
Posted: 12/20/2011 6:17:30 AM
Women just enjoy windows shopping when it comes to dating sites, they're also mostly ignorant when it comes to guys contacting them, They will choose to reply if it suits them and most the time won't because you're either not rich enough or not tall dark and handsome or not their type, which is fine, but i subtle response, sorry not interested is fine, not whinging on your profile because a guy will message you more then once.

They will play out the cinderella syndrome and not contact you but wait for you to contact them, They will talk about how much they want a good hearted guy but truely they don't care about that as they really think a profile tells them if a guy is good hearted or not, when they don't even bother to reply to a guys message or profile in the first place to find out.

I'm pretty sure there are a lot more guys on dating sites and a lot of them probably shouldn't be as they probably already have partners, but why do women go for the bad boy then whinge when the bad boy was bad to them? If i buy fish i expect it to be fish.

I don't think there are less women to choose to choose from, just there is a lot more selfish, greedy, self centered, shallow ones in this day and age that just claim they know what they want, now if only guys got away with that excuse.

Seems the only women who are wanting a honest good hearted guy is the single moms or older women who have gone through some relationship backlash, But kudos to them for been honest!

why do men do this
Posted: 10/23/2011 12:17:01 PM
Sadly, cheating is a game played by both male and females of today and yesterday and tomorrow, It can happen anytime and can be because of a many line of factors, but it is good to not jump into he deep end with a guy/girl you just started to talk to and meet up, it should be practical and low key and if you did something else on a first date or second to find out he/she is indeed in a relationship, you can only blame yourself.

While both parties can be sneaky and fool the best of us, you got to learn from these experiences and move on, before they consume you and ruin your chances with actually meeting that right person and someone you will learn to trust.

Good luck

dates who dont dirve??
Posted: 10/23/2011 11:39:17 AM
To be honest, In some cases I'm sure it would apply, On what each others lifestyles or Work is, or if they live a vast distance away from each other, But at the end of it all, If you spark and both like each other, roads, distance, would not get in your way and you as a pair would make it work. If neither party is prepared to make it work then it's a dead case straight away.

But i wouldn't basis my choice of a possible life partner on the fact they don't drive and would be more inclined to basis my choice on the fact she can't spell drive..lol.

Why The World LOves Irish Men
Posted: 10/23/2011 11:33:01 AM
I don't think the world loves Irishmen, I'm sure a lot of women from different countries Enjoy the accent and since Irish guys have to work that extra mile for Irish women, other women not so stubborn or shallow become easy in comparison to charm really, Plus the fact there's more of them and they're not as used to us as say Irish Girls are.

On that note i do notice specially with American girls, they can be treated badly by the typical American male and talking to or meeting an Irish Guy who treats them like a goddess is always a sure thing.

Some factors i think lead to this threads meaning and my 5 cent worth.

Catholic vs. Protestant
Posted: 9/30/2011 7:05:33 AM
This thread is a load of nonsense, Sorry but it is and religion was never a reason for conflict in Ireland, It was an excuse to show hatred to the British as most just happened to be Protestant, however the Republic of Ireland has had Protestant/Presbyterians for decades and they were perfectly fine right there. Ireland was and had being invaded by the British and was living under harsh rule and wanted the British to leave and have Ireland as a whole united once again. As with any civil or faction war, it can get dirty and messy and both sides make silly mistakes, The major mistake for the Irish side was bombing it's own country while the British didn't take this into account back in Britain.The British pardoned some of it's worst criminals and sent to them Ireland to pilage and burn and that's exactly what they did, little knowing they were just fueling the fire even more bringing more support for local provisional rebels. Guerilla warfare is a nasty and very sophisicated tactic but one usually done by those wanting to defend their home by whatever means they only have at their disposal, from homemade bombs to a local family hiding and protecting them. Guerilla warfare can also be called the background wars or a clear example would be that of Vietnam and America, no matter what America did they could not win the war but could win the battles.

The Priest sex scandals only have the church to blame, denying them just that, not allowing them marriage, a life. Cause and effect, you try and take a humans natural instincts away and things like this effect them. Vatican city is one of the richest cities in the world yet they still ask other to help the poor, hungry and sick.

Ireland's majority religion is catholic but we do have a lot of other beliefs from Muslim to Atheist to Christian to many more. There are no borders in effect between Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland, Old ways are no more and only a few remain to show the old ways, Peace in Ireland has been a good thing for most Irish People North and South and many changes have happened to British troop removal from Northern Ireland to a New Police service in Northern Ireland open to all.

"war is war and lives get lost at these times, both sides die for their country, It takes real courage for those to stand up and say enough is enough and try and fix the future."

Hands up and all say 'aye' if you are Irish and believe that means we are a unique race ..
Posted: 9/29/2011 3:19:45 AM
Saint Patrick was either Welsh or Scottish (land lines were not formed back then)

He was kidnapped by Irish slave raiders and taken to northern Ireland to work.

The Irish Race is Human, Please stop mentioning skin colour as a race.

The Word/Phrase "AYE" is nothing but slang used by the Irish and Scottish for "Yes".

You have Irish People then you have Irish American People, The difference is like a piebald to a pure bred.

Ireland have being known to be labelled as the land of saint and scholars, that being our catholic background and sleuth of poets, writers, playwrights etc.

Iceland is about as aptly named as Greenland is, that being Greenland is full of Ice and Iceland not.

I, As an Irishman love to travel and explore new places, cultures, traditions, and customs.
