Time for a new free virus scanner - advice?

[Buster's Uncle]

-And on actual topic - Draz, you say to just let the Windows stuff in place handle the viruses?  I don't download much, and I'm paranoid about sketchy downloads and emails...

[DrazharLn]

Yes. Win defender is fine.

Just google what I suggested for codecs: klite codec pack. Same thing with the other issues, just google e.g. (PC model number) number of hard drives or number of sata ports or something.

Sata cables are cheap, but you'd have to check to see if your power supply has a spare sata power connector.

If your HDD is ide rather than sata, you'll need to buy something different maybe an ide to USB bridge.

In fact, for a slowish connection, you can just buy a sata to USB cable, but you need to check your HDD can be safely powered by the low current (1A) provided by two usb sockets.

Mylochka claims the case was less than $20 five years ago, and it's sata -I did read the sticker stuff on the HD- and I reckon I better put my shoes on and go shopping...

[Buster's Uncle]

I think I finally have a case that will work...

[Buster's Uncle]

It worked.  I spent a whole lot more time multitasking since that last post than figuring it out and putting it together...

It's too late to fool with fishing out links to everything tonight, but I can get at all the junk I left behind at will now, and all is right with the world...

[Buster's Uncle]

No luck so far w/ the klite codecs, downloaded now - will check again tomorrow morning to see if they do the trick after starting back up...

[Buster's Uncle]

This morning, nothing is displaying w/ the embedded vids...

Any idea why pulldown boxes aren't working for me today and what to do about it?

[Buster's Uncle]

A serious-seeming related-seeming problem; can't upload to an album, at least in IE; getting a popup blocked notice but can't bring up the options.  Most of the options in the tools menu seem to be non-functional, so can't get at the popup blocker.  Help!

[Buster's Uncle]

...That works in stupid slow MSEdge, but the formatting buttons I complained about yesterday still don't...

[DrazharLn]

I don't use IE or Edge and I don't know why they're misbehaving. Soz.

Search google for the popup thing, maybe?

[Buster's Uncle]

Maybe.

-Somehow, this is your fault.

[Buster's Uncle]

Not sure exactly what fixed it, but after a reset, the pulldowns were working again...

No luck with the stupid videos, though.

I wonder if it might be a security setting thing. Poly uses https and it's http here.

[Buster's Uncle]

Hmmm.  No, I don't think that accounts for the problem at WPC...
