Topic Wiki

I figured that even this thread can have a wiki.
If your computer or phone is giving you issues:

• Please read this before posting: 4 Reasons Why IT People Ignore Your Requests for Help
• Restart the computer. Hopefully this will take care of any issues
• If your problem has not yet been solved, try to Google it. There may be a very simple solution
• On a Windows computer, a system restore may do the trick.
(This is a work in progress, please feel free to add whatever you may feel is helpful)


Please post whether or not the problem was fixed

How does it compare to eset (paid)?
eset paid is amazing. free malwarebytes doesn't compare as an antivirus, but is great for doing a scan a month.

sometimes you need to download the drivers/program for the printer on the second computer as well. did you do that?
