| I recently reinstalled Windows on my desktop due to an AMD Catalyst driver issue (since I have an AMD Radeon HD 7870) that couldn't be fixed by completely uninstalling and then reinstalling the drivers, sadly. Prior to the reinstall I was running Windows 8, but now I'm running Windows 7. In a way I'... |

| I know for a fact that Android allows you to install apps for outside sources, so you could always install the app from the Adblock Plus website instead. Though this still comes as a shock. If it was hurting Google's revenue I wonder why it wasn't sorted out earlier, or why Adblock Plus's submission... |

| I only defragment (hard disk) drives every few months, and even so, I fail to see any performance increases. Maybe I'm not seeing a performance increase because perhaps defragmenting just isn't as necessary as it used to be. Technology is constantly changing; read and write rates for drives have inc... |

| I played it from 2005 until around June 2011, although after the controversial updates that happened on 10 December 2007 (which resulted in a large amount of the playerbase quitting), I began to slowly lose enjoyment in playing the game. All credibility was lost in early 2012, but in February 2013 a... |

| Microsoft Security Essentials is adequate, and I usually recommend it to everyone. It is very lightweight, and is unobtrusive. A note though before anyone tells me it's bad: there are a few anti-virus software rankings and reviews online, and Microsft Security Essentials usually fares poorly compare... |
