<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The Windows defender was an easy fix, just had to open the program up and click the turn on button. I then ran a full scan to make sure everything was good.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The anti-virus on the other hand was on saying all shields on, firewall active and that i was protected - see below</div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It was very simple really -</div>

and drop Chrome tabs into their own browser windows, or mix and match
them between browser windows, but they may not know that it can be done
with more than one tab at a time. Just hold down the Shift key and click
on all the tabs you wish to move and you can move them as one. If
you're on a Mac, hold the Command key. </span> </div>

Your Omnibox Is a Calculator</h3>

<div class="slide-caption">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">
As you may or may not know, Google will calculate
basic math in the search bar. However, did you know that you can access a
similar math function in your omnibox <em>without</em> ever going to
Google.com? Just type in a basic math problem and the correct answer
will appear in the suggestions below the omnibox without pressing enter
(as you have to do on Google.com). <br /><br />
This handy little trick appears only to work if your default omnibox
search is Google—you won't get an answer if your default is, say Yahoo
or Bing. It also doesn't appear to work if you are typing into an
incognito window, no matter what your default browser. </span></div>
<h3>
Your Omnibox Is a Unit Converter</h3>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUGiRxymGacU2r-Mn6BturRPpMfxcHezSQKTKiUvbzaRF_KnrVEvQJOTf4rVpuIb9J20ImHewGdr_WGS1Q0exJRKY8P39CLNjaYEK__ma-bSvlSuvYFl0D9fNmrvaZoKbi-0qftAUZGS4/s1600/Chrome03.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUGiRxymGacU2r-Mn6BturRPpMfxcHezSQKTKiUvbzaRF_KnrVEvQJOTf4rVpuIb9J20ImHewGdr_WGS1Q0exJRKY8P39CLNjaYEK__ma-bSvlSuvYFl0D9fNmrvaZoKbi-0qftAUZGS4/s1600/Chrome03.JPG" height="282" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="slide-caption">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="slide-caption">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">
Your omnibox can also perform Google-like unit
conversions without going to Google. As with the calculator, the correct
answer will appear in the suggestions below without ever hitting enter.
As you type, Chrome will automatically convert your number into a unit
that you may or may not want. So, if you type "9 inches," Chrome may
automatically suggest conversion rate to centimeters. If you want a
different conversion, just type an equals sign with the conversion you
do want (e.g. "9 inches = km" or "9 inches = mm" or "9 inches squared =
m squared").<br /><br />
Once again, this particular function only appears to work if Google is
your default omnibox search engine and it won't work in incognito mode. </span> </div>
<h3>
Zoom In and Zoom Out</h3>
<br />
<div class="slide-caption">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">
On a PC, you can zoom in or out on a page by
pressing Control while turn your scroll wheel up or down (or by pressing
Control-Plus or Control-Minus). Once you zoom in or out from the
default, a magnifying glass icon will appear in the right side of the
omnibox. You can click the magnifying glass to manually zoom in or out
or hit "Reset to default" to return to the normal 100 percent view.
Conversely, you can also click Control-0 to return to the default. <br /><br />
On a Mac, you can zoom in and out by pressing Command-plus or
Command-minus. Pressing Command-0 function will still bring you back to
default. </span> </div>
<h3>
Drag to Search</h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<h3>
<span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">
Highlighting a word and performing a drag and drop
is fundamentally the same as performing a cut and paste, so it stands to
reason that you could just highlight a word or phrase and drag it into
the omnibox to perform a Web search. Conversely, you can also just right
click on highlighted word or phrase and you will prompt a pop-up option
to conduct a Google search (on a Mac, Control-click on a highlighted
word). </span> </span></span></h3>

<br /></h3>
<h3>
Drag a URL to the Bookmarks Bar</h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmW9uzlf2gdsuEkLWyEzhUV5t3f-pgaj-3C4Ze8atoGUiVdZuQX6Q0Tp65rkGmPybs4AWSKesCFeNHLbsvzXDR8RQZlU_3cIuUIeYHJ0tIJgzROmATV7_cdKn2ows9eE0se79VzeMxiKI/s1600/chrome01.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmW9uzlf2gdsuEkLWyEzhUV5t3f-pgaj-3C4Ze8atoGUiVdZuQX6Q0Tp65rkGmPybs4AWSKesCFeNHLbsvzXDR8RQZlU_3cIuUIeYHJ0tIJgzROmATV7_cdKn2ows9eE0se79VzeMxiKI/s1600/chrome01.JPG" height="310" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="slide-caption">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">
If you come across a website you will want continual
and easy access to, you can quickly add it to your Bookmarks Bar by
highlighting the URL and dragging directly down to the Bar. Boom. You
can edit it later if you want to change the name. You can drag a URL in
from sources other than Chrome as well. </span> </div>
<h3>
Navigate Up and Down Using Key Commands</h3>
<br />
<div class="slide-caption">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">
You can use the spacebar to scroll down on any
webpage, and you can scroll back up by pressing Shift and the spacebar. </span></div>
<h3>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: small;">Open Accidentally Closed Tabs</span></h3>
<br />
<div class="slide-caption">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">
Have you ever mistakenly closed a tab? We all have.
BUT thankfully Chrome is a forgiving browser and makes it possible to
get it all back. All you have to do is press Control-Shift-T
(Command-Shift-T on a Mac) and Chrome will reopen any recently closed
tabs. You can keep hitting it for more closed tabs working your way back
through your browsing history. </span> </div>
<h3>
Easy Key Command to Delete Browsing History</h3>
<div class="slide-caption">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">If you ever want to delete your browsing history,
including past URLs, cached images, passwords, and cookies, you can do
that all through the clear browsing window in Settings. You can access
it quickly by simply pressing Control-Shift-Delete and a "Clear browsing
data" window will open. (Press shift-Command-Delete to access this
function on a Mac). </span></div>
<div class="slide-caption">
</div>
<h3>
A Lot of Information Hidden in That Omnibox</h3>
<div class="slide-caption">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">
If you didn't know, clicking the little star in the
far right side of the omnibox will prompt a bookmark list, which allows
you to easily add a site to your list of favorites (I honestly didn't
know this until embarrassingly recently). <br /><br />
You may have also noticed on the far left of your omnibar a little icon
that resembles a folded piece of paper or lock (to signify a secured
site). If you click on it, it will prompt a window with all sorts of
information about the site as well as permissions particular to that
site, which you can then manipulate. </span> </div>
<div class="slide-caption">
</div>
<h3>
Drag Links Directly to Your Desktop </h3>
<div class="slide-caption">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">There's numerous ways to store and organize links to
like to click on later. However, one method you may not be utilizing—or
even aware of—is the ability to create a link icon directly on your
desktop. All you have to do is highlight a URL from the omnibox and drag
and drop it on the desktop. Chrome automatically creates a clickable
icon that you can use later, or organize as you would like. </span> </div>

Points to remember when modifying<br />
Use the correct user and drive letters and paths. <br />
Email path directories will vary from user to user and is also dependent on the email program used.<br />
(For instance my email is program is microsoft outlook and the data file -PST- is located in Outlook folder in root directory of my C: drive.- not standard but that is where mine is.)<br />

If your PC is taking too long to boot, it’s probably because you have
far too many programs running at startup. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Reducing this is easy, it will
make your PC launch noticeably faster and lighter upon first load. To
change the items running at startup, go to Run using the hotkey Windows
key + R, and type "msconfig." A small window will appear (see the
screenshot below), select the Startup tab.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> From here you will be able to
turn off many startup programs, which can shave several seconds (or
minutes) off your boot time. (Note Windows 8 has moved this
functionality to the Task Manager). Try to make sure you research what
you are turning off as some processes might be needed by third party
programs or drivers you have installed.</span><br />

Lumia 2520: A tablet all its own</span></h2>
<span itemprop="articleBody description text">
<br />
Nokia’s much-ballyhooed tablet device will reside in the market
alongside Microsoft’s Surface tablets. The Lumia 2520 looks like an
enlarged version of its phone siblings and runs Windows RT 8.1. It
features a 10.1-inch 1080p display with high brightness and low
reflectance, which Nokia says will make it easier to use in direct
sunlight.
<br />
</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span itemprop="articleBody description text" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Lumia 2520" border="0" height="273" src="http://images.techhive.com/images/article/2013/10/lumia2520_twodevice-a-100058868-large.jpg" width="400" /></span></div>
<figcaption></figcaption><br />
<figure class=" large"></figure><span itemprop="articleBody description text">
<br />
It’s equipped with a 6.7-megapixel rear-facing camera and a
2-megapixel wide-angle front-facing camera, as well as a 2.2GHz
quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor, which is a bit of a
departure from the Surface 2’s Tegra 4 chip. Nokia says that sticking
with Qualcomm’s mobile chip should help improve startup times, as the
tablet could take advantage of the processor’s fast-charging abilities.
The 2520’s 8000mAh battery pack can charge up to 50 percent after just
half an hour, though it requires an entirely separate port—and power
adapter—to do so. This connection exists in addition to the USB 3.0 port
(the same that Samsung uses on its latest, the <a href="http://www.techhive.com/article/2050344/galaxy-note-3-review-even-more-features-packed-into-a-slightly-bigger-body.html">Note 3</a>) and a Mini HDMI-out on the side.
<br />
<br />
You can also buy a keyboard case, seemingly fashioned after the
Surface’s, that has a “bouncy” Chiclet-style keyboard, an extra battery
pack for an extra five hours of juice, and two USB ports. The case folds
over like a Trapper Keeper and protects the Lumia 2520 from dust and
scratches.
<br />
<figure class=" large"><img alt="Lumia 2520" border="0" height="246" src="http://images.techhive.com/images/article/2013/10/lumia2520_cover-100058869-large.jpg" width="400" /><figcaption><i><b>The Lumia 2520 will sport a keyboard cover not unlike that of Microsoft’s Surface.</b></i></figcaption></figure>
<br />
Nokia hopes that integrated, out-of-the-box Office
functionality—something that Apple and Google tablets don’t offer—will
draw users to the 2520. But with both versions of Microsoft’s <a href="http://www.techhive.com/article/2030986/microsoft-surface-sales-underwelm-at-an-estimated-1-5-million-units.html">Surface tablets not selling well</a>, and considering the fact that the tablet feels heavier than Apple’s iPad <em>without</em>
the keyboard case, it’s not clear which part of the tablet market Nokia
is gunning for here: the mobile consumer segment, or the professional
productivity niche the Surface has managed to carve out.
<br />
<h2>
Apps are coming, too</h2>
<br />
Today’s announcement finally puts Nokia and Windows Phone directly in
the ring with the big competitors, Google’s Android and Apple’s iOS.
And the company isn’t going into battle alone—Nokia also announced that
more app makers have come on board the Windows Phone 8 platform. You’ll
see popular apps such as Flipboard, Instagram, and Vine in the coming
weeks, in addition to a few handwriting applications. “We want to keep
bringing great applications to Windows Phone,” Majid said in our closed
session. “There’s a little bit of a perception problem with the
applications [Windows Phone 8 has now].” Some worthy
applications—especially Instagram—may be in the pipeline, but whether
consumers will be willing to leave the comfortable embrace of the
platforms they know best will be another thing entirely.
<br />
<br />
The Lumia 1520 and Lumia 2520 will be available for purchase later
this year. The 1520 will cost $749 before carrier subsidies. The 2520
will sell for $499 before subsidies, while the power keyboard accessory
will cost $149.

under way and should be completed sometime in November according to a
post on the <a href="http://blogs.office.com/b/office365tech/archive/2013/08/29/exchange-online-mailbox-sizes-are-doubling.aspx" target="_blank">Office 365 blog</a>.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
Customers using Exchange Online Plan 1, Office 365 Small Business,
Midsize Business, Enterprise E1, Government G1 and Education A1 are
among those that will see the mailbox capacity boost.<br />
Those on one of Microsoft’s premium service plans (Exchange Online Plan
2, Office 365 Enterprise E3 and E4, Government G3 and G4, Education A3
and A4) already enjoy unlimited e-mail storage through their personal
archive but now the default primary mailbox size is increasing to 50GB.
It is worth pointing out there will be no extra charge for the
additional storage and the transition will happen seamlessly behind the
scenes.<br />
<br />
Elsewhere, shared mailboxes and Resources mailboxes are both increasing
to 10GB (more than double) and Kiosk user mailboxes are doubling in
capacity from 1GB to 2GB. The size of Site mailboxes remains unchanged,
Microsoft said.<br />
<br />
The changes come just days after <b>Microsoft tripled the file storage
capacity on SkyDrive Pro</b>. Office 365 and SharePoint customers previously
were afforded just 7GB of storage but that’s now been boosted to 25GB.<br />
<br />
Overall, the new storage limits push Microsoft ahead of Google Drive’s
storage capacity that’s shared across Drive and Gmail. One has to wonder
if the search giant will take notice and boost user capacity in
response<br />

Afrihost ADSL clients may experience errors with Web Browsing, YouTube access, Sending & Receiving Email and other services due to a DNS error on MTN network.<br />
<br />
Here is a solution until the issues are solved<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>If your router has Afrihosts DNS servers in it or its set on 'Obtain
DNS automatically' , Log into your router and change it to Googles DNS</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Secondary DNS: 8.8.4.4</b></span><br />
<br />
If your router is set on obtain automatically your can use an alternative method but will have to do this on each individual computer.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

How to fix an error opening word and excel files that have been downloaded or sent to you as attachments in Microsoft Office 2013 </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b> Below:</b> Error message </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="image thumb How to remove protected view from Office 2013 when downloading documents from the web" border="0" height="220" src="http://www.brainlitter.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/image_thumb.png" style="background-image: none; border-color: -moz-use-text-color; border-style: none; border-width: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="image" width="400" /></div>
<br />
The message that has nothing to do with the actual problem, and the problem is actually a Microsoft feature, as often is:<br />
<br />
- Office now has a "protected-mode" feature, which prevents
office apps from doing certain things under certain conditions.<br />
- One of them is to stop excel / word from opening attachments coming from outlook.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Click the <b class="ui">Microsoft Office Button</b><img alt="Button image" border="0" src="http://officeimg.vo.msecnd.net/en-za/files/922/308/ZA010077102.gif" style="visibility: visible;" title="Button image" />, and then click <b class="ui">Word Options</b>. or <b>Excel </b> depending on what you having a problem with.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b>Below:</b> Click the "Protected View" in the left menu and untick all 3 check boxes on the right.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
'<br />
<img alt="image thumb4 How to remove protected view from Office 2013 when downloading documents from the web" border="0" height="320" src="http://www.brainlitter.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/image_thumb4.png" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="image" width="555" /></div>
<br />
Save and voila, suddenly word / excel can open all your files and has absolutely no problems with your gigs of free memory.<br />
Thanks to the brilliant minds who conceived such an awkward feature with
awkward error messages and ultra-deep menu options to clear - and of
course no simple help. LOL

Windows 7 calculator looks just like Vista's
version, but explore the Mode menu and you'll see powerful new
Statistics and Programmer views. And if you're clueless about bitwise
manipulation, then try the Options menu instead. This offers many
different unit conversions (length, weight, volume and more), date
calculations (how many days between two dates?), and spreadsheet-type
templates to help you calculate vehicle mileage, mortgage rates and
more. <br />

<br />
Okay lets just start with rebooting the device With the BlackBerry device POWERED ON,
remove the battery for a 20 secs , and then reinsert the battery to
reboot.<br />
<br />
After using your Blackberry for a while you may experience freezing or lagging/slow response on any BlackBerry,
the most important practice you can adopt is to be sure to CLOSE
applications when you are finished using them. <br />
<br />
If you just hit
the red "end call" key to go back to the home screen the application
actually stays open and running in the background. <i><b>If you do this
repeatedly don't close the applications properly, you will have lots of apps open and consequently your memory
will get used up pretty quickly.</b></i><br />
<br />
<i><b>The lack of memory is the biggest reason your BlackBerry
slows to a crawl </b><b>or locks up</b></i>.<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><i>Get into the habit of actually
using the menu key to close the applications</i> </b></span>this will at least slow
down this memory-clogging process. You still may have to do a battery
pull or use the "Quickpull" app once in a while when things get slow.<br />
<br />
To
check what applications are running on your device in the background,
press the Menu key,<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvVpNBSmJ-PDYU26grJWKtpAWrtbd198_dL7JomzSnrjt5o1TzNLUc0JjkmiIT7GgpKvq3Nm8cXJKe1mKM3hrNY1tJaUa3sCbpj7NQA6bljgIYKGCC9E6ZEnAMwtNpfHxoVF84sAXM7ug/s1600/BBmenukey.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvVpNBSmJ-PDYU26grJWKtpAWrtbd198_dL7JomzSnrjt5o1TzNLUc0JjkmiIT7GgpKvq3Nm8cXJKe1mKM3hrNY1tJaUa3sCbpj7NQA6bljgIYKGCC9E6ZEnAMwtNpfHxoVF84sAXM7ug/s1600/BBmenukey.jpg" /></a></div>
then choose Switch Applications. You will see the
icons of each application there. Select the icon of the application you want to close open it then click the blackberry menu button scroll to the bottom of the menu and select 'Close'<br />
<br />
So now, check your applications
running in the background. <i><b>There are commonly four or five applications
that will always be running (Messages, Call Logs/Phone, BlackBerry
Messenger, Homescreen, and the Browser</b></i>;<br />
<br />
There are other third party
applications such as, Whatsapp, BlackBerry Alerts which will also run
in the background which you cannot close if you want them to operate).
Make certain that the browser is NOT on an active webpage. Close any other applications that
do not need to be running (the camera or a game you were playing or
Google Maps etc).<br />
<br />
<b>Next, </b>Blackberry devices by default create event logs you can <i><b>delete the event logs</b></i> by doing the following:<br />
Holding the "ALT" button and pressing "L G L G" one after another, then press the menu button and scroll down to 'clear log' and select it, then select 'delete'.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFmghgabJBtp_PAAKR5cuUdXHo4lBa2I8EtoRJxQI5L3R_HXz3pdxECgOfxW0R8lIoNxqeQRFomg9ExkjgmQGapmiRRpUPLUqIJAITKAVt45mgFGIvnN2NGG4XxzadhA-e5oYswzTG88I/s1600/eventlog.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFmghgabJBtp_PAAKR5cuUdXHo4lBa2I8EtoRJxQI5L3R_HXz3pdxECgOfxW0R8lIoNxqeQRFomg9ExkjgmQGapmiRRpUPLUqIJAITKAVt45mgFGIvnN2NGG4XxzadhA-e5oYswzTG88I/s1600/eventlog.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
Clearing the memory log, we can free up 1-2 meg or so of memory space depending on amount of apps. If you do not want your blackberry to create event logs you can select 'options' and untick the boxes or an even easier option is to press the menu button again and select 'Hide all Types'.<br />

Just over a month after making available a mobile version of its<i><b> Office suite for iPhone users</b></i>, Microsoft is doing the same with an Android version of Office Mobile.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div>
Just like it did with the iPhone version, Microsoft is tying the<i><b> Android version of Office</b></i> Mobile to Office 365.
Users who want to use the mobile versions of Word, Excel and PowerPoint
on their Android phones will need to have an Office 365 subscription,
such as Office 365 Home Premium, Office 365 ProPlus or these other SKUs
to get them.<br />
Office Mobile for Android phones (known officially as <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.microsoft.office.officehub">"Office Mobile for Office 365 Subscribers"</a>) was launched initially in the U.S. yesterday, ( July 31 2013) and can be <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.microsoft.office.officehub">downloaded from the Google Play Store</a> for free. The plan is to make it available in 33 languages and 117 markets "over the next several weeks."<br />
The Office Mobile for iPhone and Android suites are both like the
Office Mobile suite that Microsoft preloads on Windows Phone, meaning
they are optimized for the editing, viewing and creation of Word and
Excel documents. (Microsoft already has offered OneNote for Android phones since February 2012.)<br />
Unlike Office Mobile for iPhone, Office Mobile for Android phones does
not include an option to purchase an Office 365 subscription from within
the app, however. Office Mobile for Android phones only has a “sign in”
option.<br />
Office 365 subscribers are authorized install Office Mobile on up to
five iPhones and/or Android phones. (Office Mobile on Windows Phones
don't count against that total.) Office 365 University subscribers can
install Office Mobile on up to two non-Windows Phones.<br />
Microsoft is still widely believed to be developing versions of its core Office apps that would be customized to work on iPads and Android tablets.
As with the iPhone and Android phone versions, these Office tablet apps
would likely be tethered to an Office 365 subscription, tipsters have
hinted.<br />
