I am running the free version. All these pop-ups do get a bit annoying."

In case any one is interested, the programs I use to produce these videos are:


1. Screencast-O-matic (http://screencast-o-matic.com/) to record the actual tutorial and,


2. Free Video Converter (http://www.freemake.com/free_video_converter/) to edit the original recording and then convert and upload the finished product.


I'm aware that there are many programs available that would probably have the capability of doing a fancier way to do the recording.
There are also many programs available that are better at editing audio and video.
What I haven't found are a combination of programs that are easier to use and are also FREE.


If a picture is worth 1000 words, how many words is a video worth ???

You can also achieve the windows backup by opening the action centre from the flag in the bottom right taskbar then click on file history bottom left, once you get the next screen you'll see Window 7 file recovery at the bottom left which will then provide the backup and system image options of win7 ;)

Google Chrome's added security may not be the only reason Avast recommends it's use.
Ease of use and other great features is probably another good reason for using Chrome.

Putting a new toy to work (Automate Manual VPS Update Function) :

MouseController (http://sourceforge.net/projects/mousecontroller/) lets you record and save mouse movement and clicks with a push of a key.
Shortcut keys for record and playback are configurable (function keys only).
Playback can be delayed and repeated infinitely at a configurable interval.
A time stretch function lets you slow down or speed up the playback.


This application requires the .NET Framework to be installed, which is available via Windows Updates.

Because we haven't been notified of it being an official beta test. These build numbers were first found to be on some download sites and this is the avast location where betas are usually found.

This build it trying to maintain compatibility with the windows 8.1 beta/public preview or whatever it is called. So it isn't something that is likely to be widespread across all avast users.

Well in Bob's vudeo he claims that it is on The Avast Website, I could not find it but that being said with my experience with past Betas I will pass. Thanks :)

I have to agree with you on this particular video (http://youtu.be/rq6YFFot4es) since it was done on the road in a hotelroom
without my usual equipment.
You obviously haven't seen or heard the others. :)
I'm not claiming that the download are on the avast site.  Simply look at the URL.
Let's keep the discussions limited to the videos. Thanks

familiarity of widows 7.

               A closer look at the avast! Online Security module.
This tool can be used without installing avast but, using avast! enhances this tool.

(This is one that Para-Noid asked for. I hope it meets his expectations.)

The Avast 9 UI is simply not intuitive unlike that of version 8.  If the main purpose of Avast products is to challenge the initiative and patience of the user, something is wrong at Avast.

It looks poor and appears to have been designed to be difficult to navigate.  Avast has lost sight of the point of view of the ordinary non-tech user.

Sorry but this post is for Videos. If you've produced one, you're welcome to add it to the collection.
If you want to discuss something about avast!, please start your own topic. Thanks. :)

Here are the results:
(http://www.screencast-o-matic.com/screenshots/u/Lh/1406034379255-23441.png)
The file in question is in the download folder. It's most likely a false positive.
It's also a program that was never installed on my system. :)
It took approx. 45 minutes to scan 100 Gig. of data.
I did notice that the timer ( % completed ) isn't very accurate.
It took about 15 minutes to complete the last 1% of the scan.
It's always nice to get a good report and know that avast! has been doing it's job. :)

Just been catching up on this topic again.

I noticed this using the Ctrl+Shift T - I don't know if this is available on Chrome, but a middle click on the tab bar in firefox will restore the last tab closed. Not only that if you middle click on the tab bar again it opens the tab closed before that. I did this to recover the last three closed tabs, I didn't continue beyond that but it can go for more.

I think that is a little easier/quicker than a three finger shuffle - Ctrl+Shift T.

Bob,

Every time I get a notification on Google+ that you have posted a new video on YouTube my
admiration for you and what you do increases. I guess what I'm really trying to say is "thank you!"

I hope each and every forum member, especially the newbies, takes the time to watch your very informative videos. Ninety nine
per cent (99%) of the time I already know what you are "teaching" but I still wanted to say thanks!

Thanks aren't needed but are certainly appreciated. It also let's me know that at least one of my forum "Buddies" looks at them. :)

It works but not great for DVD and BluRay discs don't work at all. Leawo plays both kinds of discs and will also play all other media files. I use good old Windows Media Player for all non disc videos, music CD's and music files because it has the best sound optimization. Since I rarely play DVD or BluRay movies on the PC, WMP gets the most use by far.

Just to update,
I used the AVG removal tool to remove AVG. Once that completed, I used the option
on the Avast UI to stop using Passive Mode. Once that procedure completed,
Avast was again my resident AV. It wasn't quick but, it worked without problems. :)

An alternative to Remote Assistance which was recently removed from Avast.
This also makes it easy to copy something from the computer that has control to the computer
you are controlling. Simply copy the item from the controlling computer, then switch focus to the computer
being controlled and paste it there. (Right click and select paste or Ctrl V )
Yesterday I had an opportunity to put this Microsoft tool into action.
One of the members of my senior center back in NM had a problem accessing her email.
The tool work flawlessly even with the limited WiFi access that I had and I was able to remotely fix her problem.

I'm sure it took you a while to put this together.
Some criticism.
1. it is much to long.
2. without audio, it is very hard to follow.
3. use highlights to emphasize those things you want people to notice.
4. too much movement of the mouse. ( cursor )
5. Speed up those tasks that take a long time.
Practice makes perfect. :)

I think for many this comes too late, many feel it has lost their trust and as such probably already uninstalled.

Whilst it is good that they have recognised the damage that has been done to reputation, which was gained over years can be lost in minutes.  To that end, why would the user have to uncheck options not to send data, many won't be digging round in the settings (unless they have viewed your useful video), so the data would still be delivered.

For the life of me I simply can't understand why a tool like this needs to be running in the background.  Call me a trusting sort NOT, how are they to gather this data if it isn't running, see I told you I was a trusting sort ;)

This morning I received the following from YouTube
(https://screencast-o-matic.com/screenshots/u/Lh/1564665026685-78375.png)
I appealed their initial decision with the following explanation:
This video explains how to use a feature built into a perfectly legitimate and safe product namely the
Avast Secure Browser ( https://www.avast.com/en-us/secure-browser ) by Avast software.
I don't understand how this can in any way be deemed as violating your or any other policy. Thank you.
These are the type of things that happen when algorithms are used to make smart decisions.
Hopefully a personal review will let them see that error and fix the problem.
Till then, this video is no longer viewable.

As you can see, it's cut and dry without any real explanation.
The company known to supply information is very short an providing information.
There also isn't any recourse. Their decision is final even when it's totally wrong.

Turning TechForSenior into a PWA

How to turn a website into a Progressive Web App (PWA)
The basic difference between creating a PWA for a website or just creating a Shortcut is that
with a PWA you can create settings specific for that PWA. Something you can't do for a shortcut
or within the browser.
Changes in the browser affect all websites.
Changes made to a PWA only affect that site when launched via the PWA.

Wi-Fi name and password. That is unless you do the smart thing
and reuse your SSID and Password.

Here are some tips to make Notepad more useful.

At first I thought, well it is meant to be a basic note function, for more you can use Windows WordPad or my choice of NotePad on steroids EditPad Lite.

However, as hunt and peck or faster typing with more typos, the voice input would be very handy. 

Not to mention reduction in soelling (spelling) mistakes that have to be corrected.  :)
Does it do smileys ?

In windows 11, once you've transferred the dictated text to where ever you intend to use it,
place the cursor where you intend to insert your smiley, hit the Windows Key and . (period) and make your selection:

So yes. even inserting custom smileys are easy. :) 😁

I had a suspicion that was the reason :)

I don't know if there are any differences in the window 10 versions of Windows PE and that of Windows 11.

I have yet to update to 22.7, or even 22.6.  I now tend to look at what has been updated/changed in these minor incremental updates and is it worth updating.

Of late I haven't been so quick to jump on every new build as I believe too much is getting past alpha and beta and new bugs are introduced.  I look back at the days when I was always on the beta program update stream and really nothing like what is being reported in the forums after new updates.

This explains how a VPN works. The different protocols used
and the different types of encryptions used to keep your data secure
and your location hidden.
I personally use and can highly recommend Avast’s SecureLine VPN
