@John@Kaido
I use Kaspersky and therefore no need for AVAST etc.. I think people just need to do a bit of research before installing obscure things.. that's what I've learnt.
The other thing I would mention is this.. I was in PC World.. it's like a computer supermarket chain store in the UK...
I think that is why I will be cautious where and what I download.. I will have to stick to big/safe programs.. I think a lapse of concentration resulted in this error.. but will be vigilant next time.
Thanks for the help.. and I will check out Malwarebytes... I would have thought getting a program file from a big site like CNET would be safer.. but stick to safe stuff.. that's why I am being cautious.
Hello
I've just made the mistake of downloading some MALWARE at GIMPSHOP.COM WHICH IS A SCAM.. and they get reputable programs and fork/modify them and add MALWARE etc
I then google searched and found that alot of people have complained about the site and that it's a SCAM.. I should download...
@Dave
Cheers that's a good tip... and testyplace.com sounds good lol
Oh I just had to reinstall Windows.. the joy.. I had a lapse in concentration and made the mistake of installing GimpShop from GIMPSHOP.COM WHICH IS A SCAM.. they use a modified/forked version of GimpShop which is laden with...
@Dave @alkemyst
I think I will try XAMPP , they seem to have an active forum too.. so that will help.. there is good FAQ.
https://www.apachefriends.org/faq_windows.html
I think I need to DO stuff and stop asking on forums about things lol
Thanks to everyone who contributed.
I'm sorry if I was over reacting.
I have looked at WampServer and XAMPP.. out of those which is the best for me?
I will give it a go and install , it shouldn't do any harm.
The thing about those distributions is that they contain everything in a bundle PHP MySQL etc so it makes things easier...
@BrightCandle
I can understand why professionals would do that and I would expect them too.. it's their job and people depend on it.. and they are very clever people.. they understand what they are doing it.. I'm just a kid who wants to learn for fun etc
The other thing is I think a person...
@cerb @leros
Thanks for the help.. yes I can do HTML5/Javascript/CSS on local PC just in a folder and yup use relative links (remember that being explained in a SAMS book).
I have checked a few servers.. WampServer and XAMPP.. they both look good and it seems they put everything in a...
Why couldn't you say it like that to start off with.. no need to use words like "dumb" or "lazy".. I have no problem with the above.
If you think saying soemone is "dumb" is not rude.. then you need spend time learning some manners.. not programming.
I find setting up/configuring things to be...
@Markbnj thanks for the CONSTRUCTIVE response.
I WILL do the client side stuff you talked about.. and am google searching "amazon web services" as I type this.. thanks for the tip!!
I may not be able to do something but I will start off with what I can do.. and I have created HTML pages in the...
@purbeast0 don't you think referring to people as "lazy" and "dumb" is a bit insulting and unhelpful???
I do find it difficult understanding the setup of Apache.. so what?! Does that give you the right to be rude?!
The other thing to accuse someone that you no nothing about.. of being "lazy"...
Thanks silicon.
I think you're correct that you should try to learn the basic fundamentals of stuff.. like how a hard disk is constructed etc.. and yes I do have an anti static wrist strap.. I just keep touching a bare unpainted metal part of the case too.. but I need to understand that a bit...
Thanks for the responses.
@unokitty
Yes I guess I could just use local PC/Windows 7 and do the client side stuff like HTML5 Javascript CSS.. I did set up a local web server a LONG time ago.. but if I did use something like Apache or whatever I would have to read up and it may be difficult...
Hello
I want to learn HTML5 , Javascript etc.. web programming.. just so I can get familiar with it.. but don't feel the need to broadcast it to the world ie webspace/web host.. TBH I don't have anything interesting to say.
I have created a few web pages on local machine and using Notepad and...
Thanks for the feedback.
I think you had good points.. I agree I don't think anyone can be an expert on EVERYTHING computer related you would have to be a freak or something.. I look at stuff like Networking and it just gives me a headache.
I think I will try to learn the basics... and yes...
I've got some new information that MAY help. I did open the Edimax Wireless Manager and it showed Signal Strength and Link Quality and when I'm DL at like 560-580 KB/s (top speeds) the values seen to be high.
I'm observing the two green bars and will see if there is any correlation... ie screen...
Hello Bright , Anteaus
Thanks for the responses.
I think you both have good points and something that I have experiences for years.. buying (wasting money) on books and finding out afterwards everything was online for FREE if you get me :D
Yea.. you learn when you "tinker" with things.. I...
Hello JackMDS
The installation file from Edimax does install a wireless utility.. technical support from SC (Scan Computers) said it may be helpful but having seen it.. it's no different to what Windows can do therefore I don't see the point?
How do you just install the drivers.. I THINK you...
Hello
I'm having problems with an Edimax EW-7612PIn wireless PCI-E card.. it's on a PC with Windows 7 64 bit.
I can connect to the home network router (from the ISP) and surf the net and download data (games on Steam etc) and it NEVER disconnects me etc.. but sometimes they will be a sudden...
Hello
I have got some good help from people here in HTPC section and it seems to be a good community here.. and so I have some more questions for you.
I am trying to learn programming and (in general) about how computers work (that means Windows).. I have a few machines (some have Windows 7...
Thanks for the response.
I'm shocked there is someone on the Internet who is not rude for nothing.. but HELPS others.
You have answered every question I had and things are very clear.. cheers :thumbsup:
Thanks poofy.
I had a feeling it was to do with scaling etc.. I think with XBox One etc it's not a big thing cause these consoles have high resolution outputs anyway.. but back to the SD digital channels thing.
If you have have a non-HD channel like digital E4 is that referred to as SD...
Hello
I am thinking about building a HTPC and using that for TV needs etc.. I have had TV cards in the past (Hauppauge 4400) and when you use a digital satellite/aerial signal the picture is perfect.
I was wondering about something the other day and I wanted your opinions and views please?
I...
