    I have an Orico docking station which works great and about 5 external drives I've saved mp4 files to over the last 5 years. I haven't done anything yet. I don't have the energy at all.

    MS email was hacked and guy threatened me

    Will a VPN help stop hacking? I have Mozilla VPN and it doesn't hide my IP address so I'm going to switch to another VPN. I looked my IP address up online and it said "You can be detected. Buy a VPN now". Thanks a lot for the suggestions!

    chkdsk error message/memory usage

    Can I uninstall Skype and Microsoft Edge? I don't use them at all. And iTunes Service runs at Startup and I really don't use that app much so can I disable it from running at Startup?

    chkdsk error message/memory usage

    Sorry. I read that to check SMART values in WIndows 10 you type "wmic diskdrive get model, status" in Command Prompt and that's what I did. Anyway, I ran Speccy and followed your instructions and here is the link : http://speccy.piriform.com/results/fgYbPiIxe7wvJeMfO0LEqJT

    Firefox not working correctly after I reset Firefox

    My Firefox Menu dropdowns disappeared so I read that you should hit "alt" button to restore it. It only works temporarily and dropdowns disappear every 5 minutes. And Firefox is not saving passwords when I visit websites. (I checked and I still have all my passwords saved in Firefox Settings.)...
