Spam folder filling up with bounced emails

Hi, thanks for responding. I followed your link and had a look at a number of message headers in some of the spam emails. I wasn't able to understand much of the information given but one common feature that I could identify on the headers I opened was an IP address. This address and some other...

Unsolicited Skype messages

Thanks for the information. If you don't believe my computer has been compromised I'm happy to leave it at that. I don't really want to try signing up for Skype - I don't think I'm savvy enough to be confident that I wasn't opening the door to bigger problem/nuisance. If it had been an email or...

Unsolicited Skype messages

Not sure if this is something for these forums but would appreciate any advice. I'm not subscribed to any social media site like Skype, Facebook etc and as far as I can tell I have nothing on my computer associating me with them. I've recently received a few messages flashing up on my screen...

[SOLVED] Windows update problems

Brian, Brilliant, absolutely brilliant. Well done, you're awesome. Thanks. It dawned on me a while ago that this issue wasn't a run of the mill type of problem and I've been amazed (and impressed) by your efforts and patience. I went to Samsung online help and described the issue and asked...

Aarrgh!! I thought the problem had been fixed. I re-booted and computer automatically installed updates. I checked update settings after it had finished and the message screen was different and said I would be notified when Windows 10 upgrade was ready to be installed. When I right clicked on...
