Hi again guys. I had a guy a bleeping computers tell me someone from here went over there to tell him I posted here also about this, which I din't expect, but anyawy. He said I've to stop this thread here if he's to help.

I have some files I wanted to copy across to my newer windows 11 PC. Would it be a big risk as is? Or would you recommend doing this Farbar Recover Scan before doing anything else? Thanks

Thanks for the reply. I am actually only realising this PC is running Windows 10, not 11. Am here I am on elevenforum posting about this issue. So apologies for that! Before I do what you suggested, is there any risk posting that report info here? Does it gather any personal info for others to...

Wow, long reply, thanks! You are entitled to your opinion, ethics, slapping my hand etc. No need to apologise. But it is what it is. It is something I downloaded, but did not run. Defender just gave the error when I right clicked and chose Scan with Microsoft Defender. It is something that I...

Hi all, I got an alert in Windows Security for 'HackTool:Wn32/crack. Defender did it's thing and it seems to be gone, but I am unsure. Then, I also got another alert the following day, but this one said it as a Trojan. I forgot to note the name of it. Again, Defender did it's thing and it said...

I am not too sure, I will have to read up on this. But I think for now if it is just a shortcut, I will leave it off. Thanks Bree

Thanks a lot for confirming this. When installing, do I need to check viBoot? It is unchecked by default, but just want to hear what you have to say @Bree

Hi @Bree does this method still work that you linked before? Just that I want to install Macrium free again and do a backup. Is this even still the 'go to' method for doing backups? I have not been on this new PC since April as other stuff got in the way, so just checking. Thanks

Hi @Quad9FE are you trying to ruin my weekend or something haha?! That is one heck of a long post, thanks. However, I think my system is OK now. I got some help on here and also on another forum.

I will add - If this program got installed without any permission that is really bad form too. If anyone can add any comment I'd appreciate it, thanks

Hi, I installed Intel Driver & Support Assistant and was about to uninstall it after getting some driver updates. I noticed another program called Intel Computing Improvement Program which I think may have got installed with the Assistant. Is it recommended to uninstall this too?

Thanks for this Brink (y)

@NavyLCDR @hsehestedt thanks. The fact I thought I hadn't seen this part of the installation process before is worrying to me! Anyway, thanks for clearing it up to all who replied in this thread:-) (y)

It's a lovely picture I must say! Very calming

It's not a dodgy copy at all. I downloaded it from Microsoft. Ghot has informed me on another post about this that it's perfectly normal. As I said to Ghot, I'll sleep well tonight!
