My IBM computer is running on the Windows 10 operating system. I updated from windows 8 just several days ago because I was told it is faster and safer than the old Windows. But now I don’t think I have made a smart decision. The computer is working tardily, much tardier that it was on Windows 8. It takes so much time to launch programs. My work efficiency is greatly reduced. It is weird. So, I searched information about it on the Internet and learned that it is a problem caused by the Disk Drive 100% Issue. But my disk is never over worked, how does this happen? Can you guys help me with it? em>
Although there are very few programs running on your computer, sometimes it could become very tardy. If you open the Task Manager to check which program is working abnormally, you may see that the disk usage reaches up to 100%. There is no doubt that this Disk Drive 100% Issue can be a fairly upsetting headache. It will cause a lot of troubles and inconveniences for the users. The computer will become really slow. It will take long time to start/restart the computer. The programs on the problematic PC will run in an abnormal way. It will take much time to launch the programs. The programs will work rather slowly and even come to a complete failure all of a sudden. Fortunately, there are some options of methods may help tackle this Disk Drive 100% Issue effectively. The detailed options will be provided in the following part of this article. It is advised you start the Task Manager window to check whether it is helpful in reducing the disk usage down to less from 100% after each option is completed. To open Task Manager, you can click the task bar on the right and choose Task Manager presented in the menu. It may take a moment for the Task Manager to open since the drive is too slow. While the Task is open, you can go to tab Process and find the Disk column on the page. If you find the number up to 100% even if there are only very few programs are running on the system, it indicates there is a problem with your drive. Read the rest of this post »

“Do you know about the fake Microsoft message you can call me at 832-776-9754 or 713 440 0835? I got the message and I am scared. Currently, I’m on a public computer and now mine is blocked. What can I do? ”
If your computer gets a message from Microsoft asking you to call at 832-776-9754 or 713 440 0835, what should you do? You can’t use your computer to do anything before you unblock this screen. Most of people may think that the problematic computer will be fine after they reboot it. Actually, this is a fake alert which is a kind of computer infection.

During a recent conference on internet privacy and the rising popularity of VPN services, I was speaking about the importance of VPN services for online businesses and was bewildered by the lack of awareness about it.
Most online businesses ‘assumed’ that the internet was a safe enough place. Others believed that their antivirus was enough to keep them protected and would cover their tracks.
Jeez, that’s wishful thinking at its best.
Let’s me reiterate what I said at the conference. It’s a dog-eat-dog world out there.
It is in your best interest to keep your privacy protected. There’s no dearth of snoopers as you’d know by now. If the fact that the government is most likely snooping on your emails, chats and browsing habits doesn’t bother you, then you must seriously think about hackers.
A VPN service is hands down, the easiest way mask your online presence and to prevent your private surfing habits from being shared with anyone.
Today, we take a look at Private Internet Access (also known as PIA) which is one of the most popular VPN services in the market currently. PIA is a desktop VPN service that boasts of thousands of web servers around the world for you to choose from, support for file sharing and an extremely user friendly interface that makes it a breeze to logon to a server of your choice.
PIA is priced at a very pocket friendly $39.95 for an annual subscription that gives you five licenses that can be used across multiple devices simultaneously and will work with varied operating systems that include iOS, Android and Windows. You also have the option to buy a router (some great brands and models to choose from) with preinstalled PIA VPN that can be used to encrypt the traffic for all devices connected to it.
The monthly plan is priced at $6.95 which may be a tad higher than some of the other services in the market. The immediate competitor KeepSolid VPN for example, is priced at $4.99 a month.
Having analyzed and reviewed VPN services for a while now, I can vouch for the fact that cheaper does not always equate to secure or safe. Despite being priced a couple of dollars more than the competition, PIA has a flawless security system which I will touch on later in the article.
Private Internet Access has 3,341 servers in more than 24 countries around the world making it one of the best choices when it comes to geographic diversity. You can pick from servers in Europe, Central America, UK, South America, Asia, Australia, New Zealand and of course, the US. The only missing countries in this list are Africa and Russia. But I haven’t found many VPN services offering servers in Africa. PIA did have servers in Russia but they have since been discontinued citing privacy reasons.
One of the reasons why Private Internet Access remains one of the best VPN services in the business is because they don’t cut corners with security. There are multiple security protocol combinations that can be used and if you are a novice, you can just select the best possible one. There are ample tips and guides to help you make a choice.
The standard ones are PPTP, L2TP/IPSec and OpenVPN, with the latter being the default choice when you wish to unblock websites. Data encryption is possible up to AES-256. You also get access to a private DNS server and a SOCKS5 proxy.
Private Internet Access VPN is fast and reliable. There are minimal lags or delays even while loading resource intensive web pages or HD quality videos on any of their servers.
The most important thing that most potential users would want to know is how private the service really is. Can they track and report your internet usage habits to law enforcement agencies or other third parties if it comes down to it?
Well, ideally, any VPN service should not be considered as a loophole to perform illegal or restricted activities on the internet. But coming to the question, PIA does not store any logs of its users surfing habits. So, since nothing is stored, there’s nothing to report. Recently, they were subpoenaed by the FBI and this is precisely what the company responded with. No logs stored, so nothing to report.
By the way, the company is headquartered in Michigan, USA and is a subsidiary of the London Trust Media Inc.
Apart from the above mentioned features, Private Internet Acess also has a bunch of tools which make life simpler when you are connected to the internet using the VPN. A Kill switch for example, lets you terminate all open applications immediately if the connection to the VPN server is disconnected for some reason. This prevents any of your information from being relayed online.
Their ad-blocking tool called MACE is one of the best ones in the industry that blocks malicious trackers that are hidden in website advertisements.
Last but not the least; you have several payment method options to subscribe to Private Internet Access. If you do not wish to use your Credit Card for example, then you have an option to use Bitcoin, Ripple, PayPal, OKPay and Amazon.
• Easy and minimalistic user interface that does not confuse even a novice
• Value for money annual subscription
• More than 3,341 servers in 25 countries
• Robust security protocols
• Impressive toolset
• Multiple Payment options
Verdict: Packed with features and a very lightweight and user-friendly UI, Private Internet Access comes across as one of the best VPN services in the market currently. It is backed by a very affordable price tag and a great customer support team. Hard to go wrong with this one.
If you don’t know what is the best VPN for you, you are recommended to contact YooCare expert for further help.

Lily on Wed. night I was on a “normal” porn website when suddenly my screen flashed and subsequently I got a message from supposedly cyber police. It asked me to pay 100 USD via Vouchers Paysafecard to unblock phone which I duly did and phone still was unblocked after about 18 hours. In addition it indicated that it would be blocked again in one week’s time. I thought this was official even though I was not on an illegal site. Can you please explain and help me to avoid a further blockage? P.S. I am very hostile to abuse of minors and wouldn’t dare dream to enter such sites as seemed to be implied. Can you please help? I am worried that the authorities might prosecute me even though I would never willingly enter illegal site.
Got Vouchers Paysafecard for paying fines on mobile? Screen was locked by police for viewing pornography? Can’t access the home screen and even can’t turn off the mobile device? You need to remove Vouchers Paysafecard Ransomware to unlock. Vouchers Paysafecard Ransomware is recognized as a piece of harmful software which is sponsored by Cyber criminals to attack mobile devices and computers all over the world. At the beginning, Vouchers Paysafecard Ransomware mainly attacked computers. As mobile devices have been more and more popular, the hackers started to target mobile devices to grab as much money as possible in those years. Read the rest of this post »

Hi. My iPhone browser is blocked due to metropolitan police scam saying to pay £200. I didn’t do anything illegal like it said. The screen has frozen and I can’t access the Internet. How do i get to use my browser again. How to unblock safari browser from scam? I need my phone for work. Please help me get rid of it soon. Thank you in advance.
Is your Safari locked by [email protected]? You must be careful. Your device is infected with a scam virus. The [email protected] message is made up by the cyber criminals to swindle money out of innocent people. Once your device is infected, it takes over the browser and displays fake warning to scare you. It steals the name of UK police or other Europe police and claims that your browser is blocked for pornography and other illegal content. It demands a fine from you to unlock the browser and get rid of trouble. Do not trust it. The warning is not real. It is brought by the malicious software but not the metropolitan police. You only need to remove the [email protected] scam virus to unlock Safari and keep your device safe. Read the rest of this post »

My son’s phone is an iPhone 6 Plus phone. It just came up with a potential metropolitan police virus lockdown on his phone. On the locking screen, it is saying there are pornographic sites. He is 10 and ministered phone usage. What is this and how do we unlock his phone? Is it real? Please help!
Well, if your iPad/iPhone gets blocked by a potential metropolitan police virus, what will you do? How to remove this virus and unblock your iPad/iPhone? The potential metropolitan police virus is a malicious scam virus which is made by cyber scammer who pretends to be the legitimate police agency of UK and sends you non-existent information in the name of potential metropolitan police. At the very beginning, this virus mainly hacked computer users. Nowadays, with the rapid increase of Internet use rate, cyber scammers aim their eyes to all kinds of devices like computers, IOS Mac computers, android phones/tablets, iPads and iPhones. Words from victims of potential metropolitan police virus:
“Hello. It seems to have some virus on my device. It is named potential metropolitan police virus. How can I get this off my phone? I received ‘ Your Safari browser has been blocked up for viewing and distributing illegal materials prohibited by the criminal law of the United Kingdom, called pornography with elements of child pornography, rape and zoophilia… In order to unblock your Safari browser, you are obligated to pay a fine in the amount of £200.00 with iTunes Prepaid Card.’ By the way, mine is an iPad. Please help! Thank you.”
“Hi, my name is Mike. A message has appeared on my iPhone 6 saying I have to pay a fine of £100 using an iTunes prepaid card to unlock my phone. There is a metropolitan police banner at the top. The cannot open page message is now permanently on screen and in fact whilst I’ve typed this message the original request to pay the fine has also disappeared. Is it real? I am scared. What should I do?”

Early this morning, when I got up, I couldn’t open my iPad due to a block box “Cannot Open Page”. I couldn’t get rid of it. I couldn’t get onto safari because it said I watched illegal porn and I was blocked from it then it said I have to send an email to that account: [email protected] to unlock and it sent a big email about how much I had to pay. Was it real? I had to pay for that fine? How do I get rid of the “Cannot Open Page” box that keeps popping up on my iPad screen? Please help!
How to get rid of the “Cannot Open Page” box that keeps popping up on iPad screen? The “Cannot Open Page” box is something related to scam virus such as [email protected] scam virus, FBI scam virus, [email protected] scam virus, [email protected] scam virus and so on. It is obviously that the “Cannot Open Page” box blocking screen on your ipad is also a kind of scam virus. Once this virus gets into your iPad, it may block your Internet Browser including Safari and Chrome immediately by the “Cannot Open Page” box. You can’t just tap Ok to or the “X” on your Safari/Chrome screen to exit that screen. Below the “Cannot Open Page” box, there is another screen showing you lots of words and porn pictures. Sometimes, it may tell you that you are viewing and distributing illegal materials prohibited by the criminal law of the United States of America, called pornography with elements of child pornography, rape and zoophilia. In order to unblock your Safari browser, you are obligated to pay a fine in the amount of $ 100.00-$500.00 with iTunes Prepaid Card. The paid currency can be changed due to where you are living at that every moment, like £200 iTunes voucher. Anyway, you should not believe in what the “Cannot Open Page” box is showing you. You should think a way to get rid of this malicious scam virus immediately.
“Hi, my partner’s iPad Internet was blocked by the “Cannot Open Page” box yesterday and is saying it is from the metropolitan police that he has done something illegal but all he did was press on a Facebook link. Then he just left for work but he really Panasonic thinking he going to jail is it definitely a virus they have asked for £200 iTunes voucher.”
“I have a bogus virus on my iPad. So,e bs about… the “Cannot Open Page” box …”Your device has been locked for illegal pornography. Send email to [email protected] for unlocking”. Along with a screen showing bestiality pictures… How do I delete the “Cannot Open Page” box. My safari is blocked.””

Got a call from Microsoft saying my Windows license key was expired. After that, I always got errors about Windows license when I go on internet. They say they are from Microsoft and something is wrong with my computer. I have been informed by someone, who left a message, saying they are with Microsoft and that my windows license key was expired, and that I should call them at 1-800-360-0998. My computer would be “shut down” if I did not renew my license. I have just been hanging up on them and I hope I am correct in doing so. I don’t think they are from Microsoft. One of my friends told me that it was caused by malware. How can I remove the malware?
If you got a call and was told that there was something wrong with your computer, you must be cautious. They may say that they are from Windows or Microsoft, telling you that your Windows license key was expired. If you called the provided number, the so-called Microsoft technicians would pretend to help you and ask for money. However, you must know that Microsoft does not contact you by phone unless you have made prior arrangements with them to do so. In fact, it is caused by the malicious software. It makes up fake alerts to scare users into believing that their computer have serious problem. In this way, they create a chance to swindle money out of people who know little computer. Do not trust the call. The notification of your Windows license key was expired is fake. Do not call back or do anything it wants you to do. In order to fix your Internet and browser issue, you need to find out the malware behind this scam and get rid of it completely. Read the rest of this post »
