I need windows for a couple of programs. I use Chrome as a browser when using windows along with Ad Block, Norton Safe Search whenever I use my home windows pc..
For most of my internet connections/work/use, I use my Acer Chromebook 15 to avoid the ms bs.
This week my old HP went into its final days. On the advice of family ITs, they told me to buy a Windows 10 Toshiba laptop on sale this week at Staples.
Then to follow these steps:
1. Remove the so called safety program that came with the pc and install the Free Norton security program which comes with Comcast. That took about an hour.
2. Run the Norton Security program to eliminate any inherited crud/malware from bloatware.
3. Add Ad Block. That happened when I installed Chrome as my browser, as it was used with my Chrome Browser.
4. Install Chrome as the browser. You have to go to Google to get the how to with this process and the steps. Again it will take some time.
5. Use Norton Safe Search to search, find and log onto any internet site. Avoid those sites which aren’t labled as safe Norton Safe Search.
6. Remove most of the free log on sites that came with the pc.
Before using these steps, just trying to log on after the Win 10 updates got the infamous blue circle just trying to log on any internet sitewith
Google/Chrome transferred all of my bookmarks and tabs. I can use my printers via Google Cloud Print and our android phones and tablets as my new Toshiba pc.
Now the log on process bookmark connections are about as fast as my Acer Chromebook.
I have printed out your suggestions and follow them today or tomorrow.
Thanks for the posting.
I thought Google was the enemy, feeding your actions to the regime; where am I going wrong?
