The meeting came to order at 6:59 PM under Jim's gavel. 17 members present.
A Q&A session started.
The Club website now includes a local panel of Google StreetView. Major streets of the world have been photographed. But not Devil's Lake ND !
To see any home address, go to Google. Click on the MAPS tab. Type in the address of the home. Hit search.
Now look at the screen upper left and find the YELLOW MAN. Pick him up with the left mouse button and place him on the blue road next to your red address balloon. Done.
How to get rid of Bing ? Go to Control Panel - Add/Remove Programs. It probably came with an update for FireFox or other.
Many unwanted toolbars can be removed by opening Internet Explorer. Click on VIEW - TOOLBARS Now UNtick the trash.
A lively debate on the merits/demerits of antivirus programs broke out.
Windows Security Essentials is a package of programs, including Windows Defender. BUT it installs differently on different operating systems.
Malwarebytes is updated by you. Every 2 weeks is adequate. (It may tell you that it is 157 days out of date - ignore this.) Available as a freebie from CLICK HERE.
Harold's recommendations.
-AVG seems to interfere with MS security, and may bog down your system.
-If you remove AVG, reinstall MS Security Essentials to be sure it is fully ON.
MS Security Essentials is free from CLICK HERE
Windows-8: MS Security Essentials is already installed. Add Malwarebytes.
Windows-7: MS Security Essentials plus Malwarebytes.
