How does this work? (for system monitoring)

Ive seen this suggested by a few here. Would you council using it in addition to my setup of Defender and MalwareBytes Pro? I would you be suggesting to replace MB with it?

Starting with Sevenforum and then Tenforum and now Elevenforum, every time Ive built a new PC, you folks have held my hand and shepherded me through simple queries, complex stuff I never thought I could get to grips with and lots in between. Ive never had anyone be rude or unhelpful, the advice...

Hi there, after lots of deliberation and reading over the past few weeks, I decided to buy Actium Relfect X. Its just getting (what feels like) impossible to get hold of 8.1 without jumping through a lot of hoops I cant be bothered to navigate. My simple question is whether the Macrium guides...

Sorry its been a day or two, but it just happened again. Browsing happily away and then cannot reach any site but Google and Youtube. I chose Gigabyte.com, Microsoft.com and Youtube.com as my 3 test sites. I confirmed they werent 'down' (what are the chances honestly of these 3 all being down...

Thanks folks - will do and report back

What is the best? in your opinion, out of curiosity? Im using Malwarebytes but its not on anyones list above!

Perhaps poor wording, but what I meant to say was that Ive never had a PC build and software install feel so good - aside from this one issue with the browsing hitting a brick wall after a few hours. I was asked if I use an AV - perhaps wrongly I dont count Windows Defender as it comes with...

Browser addons: I presume these are extensions? In Chrome I have 3 - LastPass, MalwareBytes and Google Mail Checker. I really need and use all 3 of those. Ive been using these 3 addons in chrome for years and never encountered this issue. It has only been happening since this last clean install...

Hi folks I have a very modern PC, which I had cause to do a W11 clean install on a few days ago as i changed my motherboard from an MSI X870 to a Gigabyte X870E. Everything (and I mean everything) is working fantastically on it, aside from this one issue Ive never had before: I will have been...

No choice. My PC is on bits and I was on the train to work lol

I have no excuse. I would like to claim its gamer talk but having read back my own post I was appalled at all the typos in there. When I type fast on my phone recently whole groups of words get joined together and somehow through the spellchecker. The word 'instanisnlretty' (which I will work...

I probably should have mentioned why I'm asking this. I only built this PC in Feb. I was unlucky enough to buy an MSI x870 Mag Tomahawk motherboard, and whilst it's gorgeous, has lots of features and good pcie lane usage, it's bios is pants and waxh version solves one issue and delivers...

Just a quick question really - if you change your motherboard, are you forced into a clean re-install or can you get your existing OS drive install to play nice (assuming you have bought your own copy of windows)

I think this is what I was asking (sort of). Taking this further, I think you are saying I should disconnect both the 4Tb Data drive and the current 1Tb OS drive, so that the system files are forced on to the 2Tb OS drive. The other bit I was asking (without really asking) is once the 2Tb...
