  1. Tips Always verify that you visit the official site you are looking for. Never open any unexpected emails you weren't looking for! Be cautious of downloading any type of file, especially executables (.exe and .scr) When downloading a program do some research to see if it is trustworthy or not. Keep windows up to date! People sometimes don't update as often as they should, updates come out for a reason... they fix bugs and security holes found in the operating system. Keep all software up to date. Turn off auto-run for USBs. Secure your accounts; Use 2FA when possible, use randomly generated passwords along with a password manager or a piece of paper! When on forums and other sites check to see if they have an option to 'Hide you Email from others' and check it when possible. Don't make enemies, this will just make you a target of someone. Always use virus protection, even if it is free. Never use more than 1 anti-virus on a machine. If you are having an issue search it up before contacting someone under a tech support solution, most likely you'll end up getting the answer a lot faster by doing that. Software Security avast!

  2. My guess is the same as yours, it seems like an unstable drive. As @LoGiCalDrm has said, stick with Windows Defender if possible. Where it is the default antivirus it should be compatible and provide less errors and mishaps rather then a 3rd party antivirus. Also along with that try running Malwarebytes Anti-Malware to make sure you stay properly secured.
  3. Essentially I think it is just so they can collect statistics on the variety of users so they can provide products based on their users actions (like a marketing strategy) but it can also be used in a variety of other ways such as catching people who use illegal software, or cyber criminals (Hackers, Crackers, etc).

    Quiting Sodas

    Well it is quite a challenge because your body has to get use to taking in a lower sugar rate than normal, I've personally tried many different ways before and the best way I think is to pretty much slow down each day. (1 Bottle > 1 Can > 1 Cup) - I've done this before and had the best results with myself.
  5. This is a very nice list of alt. tools you have compiled here! Although TrueCrypt should be changed with VeraCrypt or another Encryption program.
