General Software Discussion / Annoying McAfee refuses to quit

« on: July 16, 2023, 10:37 PM »

I'm running Norton on a Win11 OS. I had decided to totally uninstall McAfee. It's all gone, except for 11 visible files that show in a program called 'Everything'. All gone except for 11 png suffix files. They defy uninstallation. Worse, a McAfee pop-up appears several times every day, and I use 'close window' to get it off of Desktop, but it always comes back later, saying I'm unprotected, and I need to buy McAfee again. I also tried the McAfee 'uninstaller' but without success. What can I do, please (and thank you in advance).

General Software Discussion / Need help finding file on my PC

« on: February 19, 2021, 02:43 AM »

I am just a teensy bit frustrated. I cannot find a particular musical movie file on my laptop; I cannot get the 'search' function to stop including the whole Internet when I try to search for it exclusively on my laptop, Oh no, it wants to show me where I can find it in the whole Internet from here to the Moon, but not on my laptop (that would be too easy, right); I can see in VLC's 'history' dropdown menu that I did find and play it a while back, but I cannot get it to show me where it is being read from in VLC's history dropdown menu, so I can go to it and play it again.

General Software Discussion / edge browser difficulties

« on: May 28, 2020, 08:18 AM »

I can't get the updated Edge web browser to set duckduckgo as the default search engine and also as the new tab default page.
Edge keeps saying it denied permission and to select 'Settings and more' but I can only find 'Settings' not 'Settings and more'.

It also stopped giving me the option to read out loud web pages, and Cortana is totally impossible, so now I don't have a functional text reader.
