sc302 Veteran Posted April 15, 2015 Veteran Share Posted April 15, 2015 change your password on your router, don't keep it default or easy....don't make it 12345 or drowssap or anything else that may resemble anything that is simple or common. use phrases like mybigbeautifulblueeyes or something like that, easy to remember and long. Also update to the latest firmware, I know that tp-link is very lazy on firmware updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(i regularly update flash though) 2. in an attempt to install IE7...it results with some error along the way, stops installing...i've W7 Ultimate SP1.. 3. somehow my PRTSC doesnt work...usually when you click on it, it saves screenshot on desktop...mine is Toshiba Sattelite C50 keyboard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think there is a fix. It's just something that we've all got used to over the years. 2. Why are you attempting to install IE7 on a machine running Windows 7? I think the latest version that works on Windows 7 is IE9? 3. I've never had PrtSc work as you mentioned without having a third party application installed. I've had to hit the button, then open something like Paint and select the paste option to get the screenshot to appear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't used IE outside of the office in years so I was unsure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wahoospa Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 3. On Toshiba laptops you need the Toshiba Value Added program to get some features working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sc302 Veteran Posted April 15, 2015 Veteran Share Posted April 15, 2015 ie8 is default with windows 7, can't go below. windows 7 supports up to the current version of ie, ie11. I don't know if it will support microsoft's next browser, spartan. would recommend going to sp1, if you haven't already, to go up to ie9....you don't need to install ie8...that would be done through programs by going into "Turn Windows features on or off" and unchecking ie to uninstall it and rechecking to reinstall it (this is for ie in general).

Vquattro Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Hello guys! I need help... Somehow my browsers - chrome and firefox - got infiltrated by some silly adware/malware...as soon as I start browser and start surfing...pages get redirected to silly junk, silly websites...like porn, etc...it just switches to them while I am on normal websites...Also, on normal websites sometimes page links get unclickable, then on second click it opens new tab with those spam websites..strange. I tried Kaspersky, Spybot, AVG..Adaware...nothing works! even Kasperksy Internet Security didn't find it! this issue persists on browsers only..no other irregularities happen in PC (Toshiba Satellite). No fishy add-ons, plugins installed as well. I deleted cookies cache too..no help. I hardly use browser only on Private window mode...then it works better for some time though. how to get rid of it??
