Thank you Samurai! I don't want to change any of it. Just want to make sure it's all the way it's supposed to be. Do not want to do all this and there still be something there that would allow them...

Back again and sorry to keep on with the questions. Just want to get this done with and straightened out correctly. I did a test run 10 OS install with an erased drive to check some things. Checking...

It's ok. It was odd because of all that happened and it didn't show up that way before. It's never had anything plugged into it. As best I know. I'll fix it or stay offline permanently. Been without...

I see what you and Garyw are saying now. It does have a USB 3.0 on it, but has nothing in it. I'll just have to change all my settings. I can take care of that.
Thank you very much for your help!

Thank you very much for your reply Garyw! I've erased all my drives with the Guttman 35 pass. Waiting on a new windows 10 install now just to make sure. Not fooling with any old data at all. Not...

Hi all, and thank you firstly.

I had noticed that under explorer>network, that my router showed up as a computer. I was able to connect to my router before by going her before that changed. Once I...

None of it detected it. Kaspersky. Malwarebytes. Nothing. Had to figure out myself what was going on. Had to use other methods, not PC related, to find out what was happening. No programs I've found...

Thank you first off! I kind of hate to say online. I just know my PC was being able to be gotten into remotely and the files attributes had been changed. I know what file had the program in it and...

Thank you also for your reply! Already thought of the synced possibilities and planned for that. Will make sure all that is safe. Will definitely be making a reinstall disk of just the OS also. I...

It did help and thank you so much! Won't be fooling with those files until I can figure out what to do with them later.
Thank you again!

Thank you so much for the reply! As long as my main is clean and that mess is off my unit, I can deal with those later.
Any ideas on how to make sure those files are clean? I've ran every malware I...

Recently found out I have had some silent program installed that allows remote access and admin rights changes. I have sorted over 2TB of files across 3 drives. Moved only those files from one drive...

Thank you very much stormy13! Turns out it wasn't a driver after all. An adware program I "had" was blocking internet access. Went into the allow program section and disabled that program and that...

Thank you Dude! Not sure I know how to do that, but I'll give it a try. Ugghh. You did say compatibility mode for 8 also and my pea brain didn't even think about that for 7. Again, not even sure I...

Thank you very much for the welcome and reply Dude. I couldn't find any for windows 8 either. I just looked on the Asus site though, but they didn't have any. I even called them to see what I could...

Hello all,

I recently did the upgrade to 10 when they sent it to me. However I didn't really get to use it because there apparently is/was no drivers for the LAN adapter on my MOBO. Still haven't...
