In this case, you can connect to a VPN then you will be capable to visit that website. Don’t know how to connect to a VPN? We will help you set up a VPN and make you visit that website smoothly.

Something about VPN that you should know

VPN, Virtual Private Network, has become more and more popular as more and more workers work from home or travel on business. A VPN allows people connect their devices to their office network even if they are far away from their offices. If the workers who are on a business trip want to get company resources over the Internet, connecting to a VPN will really help. And you don’t need to worry about the security of your company resources because the resources don’t have to be uncovered directly on the Internet. In addition, when you connect to a VPN, browsing activity will be hided from your local network and ISP (Internet Service Provider). If you are using Wi-Fi connection, someone who attempt to spy on you will be able to see your browsing activity. So if you want to hide your browse activity when you use Wi-Fi, I advise you to use VPN in order to keep your privacy in safety.

It told me to call +1 855-712-8551 so I did and talked through it with a guy. In the end he wanted me to purchase a Microsoft warranty and when I said no, he hung up. I called back and asked if he had fixed it and he said that he couldn’t remove the viruses if I didn’t purchase the warranty. The error page is still up and I am unable to close that tab, I have tried to restart my Mac, and it just keeps coming up. What do I do? Will popup affect other devices? I got this US marshal service pop up and I have been reading online that it is a virus. Can you tell me how to remove it from my Mac? I know it’s a scam but need help removing.

Hello, I am here for a solution to optimize and speed up my Windows computer, as it is very sluggish. Recently, it always takes several minutes to start up, and even sometimes it gets stuck at the Logo page for about 1 minute. Besides, when you browse the webpage, it takes a long time to load up the whole page but it worked fine and smoothly before it became slow. It will be frozen while I running several large programs and the CPU will be super high in percentage. I have no clue why. Before the computer worked bad, I can play some game online on computer while performing other tasks. So could you guys help me to get it back to normal?

What will Slow Down Windows Computer Performance?

There are many reasons leading to slow speed and poor performance of a Windows computer. For example, many unnecessary preinstalled software installed by PC makers takes up too much system capacity and resources and some of those extra useless software will occasionally and unwontedly pop up to occupy virtual memory, or the computer has been used for several years and hardware and software become degraded, or many junk files, temporary files, installer files and offline webpage fill in the system, or there are one or more viruses, malwares and spyware even worms eating up and damaging system. So it’s necessary to do an optimizing and tune up timely. However, optimizing a PC can be a complicated and daunting job especially if you are not familiar with operating system, software application, internal hardware and overall configuration of your Windows PC. By the way, you should know that it’s impossible to make an 8-10 years old computer run as fast as the one new released in market no matter how much optimization and tuning you do.

Hello, I have a cyber police lock on my Samsung Galaxy S7 which is a new one. It says it’s from cyber police of FBI federal bureau of investigation and I have 72hrs to pay a $200 fine for the reason that I watched porn material like child pornography on the Internet. And it says it found some porn pictures and videos from my Samsung S7. It is very insulting as I haven’t watched such content online. Usually I just scroll through FaceBook, watch funny Youtube video and chat with friends. Oh, here I remember that this Cyber police lock popped up while I was clicking one of my friend’s picture link on my FaceBook, and from that point, my Samsung is locked completely. I power it off then power it on, this cyber police message is still there. I can’t do anything on it. And I have no clue solving this lockout or does it work if I pay that $200 fine? any advices will be appreciated!

Is This Cyber Police Lock on My Phone and Tablet Really from Authentic Police? Will I be Caught be Police?

Cyber Police Lock is actually not from legitimate police department or law enforcement or national department like FBI, Department of Justice, U.S. Department of Homeland Security, and American National Security Agency in USA, PCeU in United Kingdom, Australia Federal Police or International Cyber Security Protection Alliance etc. Cyber Police Lock is nothing but a scam designed by cyber criminal to trick victims into paying a non-existent penalty of 250$~500$, £100~£250 or €100~€100 via its suggested payment method or prepaid card like green moneypak, iTune gift card, Paypal, Ukash or PaySafeCard ect. This Cyber Police Lock targets users of computer, phone and tablet in many countries and regions like United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Brazil, new Zealand, Netherland, Switzerland, France and Australia around the world. Besides, Cyber Police Lock has the same features as FBI virus, DOJ virus, United Kingdom police virus, moneypak virus, paysafecard virus or Ukash virus, which have been spread for a long period and all masquerade law enforcement and government department or police to send scaring fake Cyber Police Notice Warning Alert to force people into paying money by locking targeted device like phone and tablet. This kind of Cyber Police Warning blocking phone and tablet screen is definitely false and there is no chance that it’s from real Government Cyber Police!

I have a browser hijacker called Funnysiting.com on my Chrome browser. Every time I go online, this page can pop up. I can’t go to any other sites. I have tried to use my security tool to scan my computer to see if there is anything bad on my machine, but nothing suspicious found. How can I solve this browser hijacker issue so that I can go online freely? Please help!

Brief Introduction to This Page

Funnysiting.com pretends to be a safe site for people to visit. However, it is a tool that created by cyber criminals with evil purposes. When people come to this page, their security tools will not warn them about this computer threat. From technical aspect, it is categorized to be a browser hijacker, but it is not a computer virus. That’s to say, most anti-virus programs cannot be capable to detect it for PC users when it sneaks into their computers. Even if it is not a computer virus, what it can do to the target systems is similar to virus. If you get this browser hijacker on your system and you don’t pay attention to it, you will make your computer in great damage and keep getting unwanted problems during the use.

Hi, there, I have noticed that there are two security tools running on my computer, one is Windows Defender, and the other one is Norton. I have learnt that it is unnecessary to keep two anti-virus programs on one computer. I know Norton much than the one called Windows Defender. What is that? Is there a way for me to turn it off by my own? How do I do that? Please advise.

What is Windows Defender?

Many computer users maybe are not familiar to this Windows Defender. It is a free anti- virus program that created by Microsoft. It is a built-in program with systems. When people install Windows systems to their computers, this program can be installed in the mean time. This program helps people protect their systems from virus attacks. From Windows XP to Windows 7, this program contributes its great effort on preventing spyware and other potentially unwanted programs. In Windows 8 and Windows 10, Microsoft provides another program which is same to Defender- Microsoft Security Essentials. Those two programs are all developed by Microsoft which give free solution to protect computers from viruses, Trojans and other computer threats. Read the rest of this post »

Hi! I got this usmarshals.gov pop up on my LG phone. I am not sure if it is legitimate at all. I have not knowingly done anything that pop up states. I can’t use my browser now, what can I do? How can I remove this pop up so that I can use my browser smoothly? If I leave this pop up alone, will it go away by itself? Please help me.

What you need to know about this usmarshals.gov pop up

Firstly, you need to know that this usmarshals.gov pop up is a scam virus. This pop up virus used to attack apple device like ipad and iphone, but now it also infects android device. This pop up virus always tells victims that they have illegal acts on the device or they have watched some porn videos, and to unlock their devices and avoid being summoned by the court, the victims need to pay a fine. Actually, the victims did not do what the pop up says. This virus just wants to scam people and let them think that this is a serious issue. This virus makes victims believe that they will be involved in the court if they don’t pay the fine. Many people who have less computer knowledge may pay the fine but they will finally be aware that this is a scam. After the payment, their devices have not been unlocked at all. So please note that paying the fine asked by the scam virus won’t help to unlock your device. What immediate action you need to take is to remove this pop up virus form your device manually.
