Abuser reacted to Kiyuubi in Best paid antivirus software.
I think we really need a sticky on this, or recommend software in general. This question is asked too much. This thread should be a sticky, but of course, should be audited for errors and such beforehand..
That aside:
For free AV you should either get Avira or Bitdefender. Bitdefender is more lightweight, but it doesn't give you many options in terms of control or how it works.
If you want a paid one then either Bitdefender or Kaspersky. I would probably go with Kaspersky just for the fact that their team has found a lot of security issues in the past. You can also check out AVTEST, a third-party company that rates AVs. (Bitdefender and Kaspersky are the top 2)
Do not get Avast!, as it is complete shit. Go to this link to find out why.
You will also want to scan your computer weekly, or whatever amount of time you are comfortable with, with Malwarebytes. Just to be clear, Malwarebytes is NOT an AV, nor should it be used like one. So do not run it along side your AV, only use it is a scanner. Make sure to not accept the trial it offers, and to disable it on startup.
Or just use Windows 10's built-in one.

Abuser reacted to Silentsoul in Windows 10 and Chrome 64bit Loading Circle
Issue:
When launching Chrome on windows 10 the mouse loading indicator keeps spinning as if it is still trying to do something after chrome is fully launched.
Thoughts and Testing:
At first i thought this was an isolated issue on my secondary rig that i updated to Windows 10 just to get a feel for it and to start tweaking. After upgrading my sons PC it had the same issue with Google chrome so i figured i would share my findings if anyone else is having this same issue.
My first step was doing a clean install of Windows 10 on my secondary rig as i was already going to do it anyhow. This issue still occurred.
So, after some digging and testing.
Fix:
1. Launch chrome
2. Type chrome://flags/#disable-direct-write in the search bar and hit enter.
3. Navigate to where "Disable DirectWrite" is highlighted and enable it.
4. Restart Chrome and done.
Conclusion:
If no one else was having this issue then great but i assume i was not the only one considering i had it occur on multiple computers. So, in conclusion, if this helped one single person out then it was worth posting it.

Abuser got a reaction from Kherm in Your All Access Guide To Windows 10.
Well I found a solution to get the store back but it looks like it also gets all the original apps back.
Run this command in Windows PowerShell
Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"} credit to the reddit user F0RCE963

Again, I've never heard about anyone having issues with them.

Abuser reacted to EarthboundHero in Green Man Gaming Flash Sale
That was one game, ever. I don't think they even knew about it. The people getting their keys revoked was from resale sites, like G2A and everyone got refunded. Nothing to worry about from GMG or G2A.

Abuser reacted to stconquest in Why is MicroCenter so Cheap?
They have a team of acquisition/curation staff that perform sexual favors to lower the cost of bulk purchases from tech manufacturers... perfectly legit.

Abuser got a reaction from ItzFeeZyHD in Dual Monitors with MSI GTX 980 4G?
Yes you can use two DP cables with that GPU. From the looks of it that monitor only comes with a dual link DVI cable so to save some cash you can just get 1 DP cable.

Abuser reacted to orcinhell in Can't think of any logical reason to go Nvidia now.
I don't get the heated debate.
The 900 series is 9 months old now. AMD has just released, of course its going to win, and it should. I would say if anything it should be even further in front. As for the comments they are also cheaper... wait, Nvidia already know what is coming and will drop prices if it is warranted. Nvidia are not running razor thin profit margins, they can easily afford to do this.
Fury looks cool, the 390X while rebranded will be interesting but do not lose sight of the fact amd are "just" edging out tech that is 9 months old. Nvidia will hit back with Pascel. If you have to upgrade now it looks like AMD have the faster cards, if you are going to need to upgrade in another 9 months, guess what... Nvidia will have the best cards... 18 months away? well probably AMD again.
why do people get so worked up defending their brand when this happens almost every release. If you're always waiting for the next fastest thing you will never own anything in the tech world... Both AMD and Nvidia have great cards, I think that is fantastic, and while I currently own Nvidia I really hope AMD have a rock solid launch get tons of support and expand as a company.

Abuser reacted to UnknownEngineer in Could I play Arma 3 Multiplayer smoothly?
MP FPS is mostly dependent on the server, if the server is struggling with hosting the game, for any reason, FPS will drop for all players.
I usually had ~30FPS in MP as well, but as soon as our clan upgraded to a better server I started getting 60 to 80 FPS.
What kind of server where you playing on? If it was one of those fuking presistant things where multiple objetives are generated for 30+ people.... NOBODY get more that 35 in those servers, no matter what they have.
