Windows Defender Can Now Scan for Malware on Startup. People ask me what I recommend for anti-virus software. I use Windows Defender and I use the maintenance programs I have talked about. If you have Comcast you get a free copy of Norton, Centurylink give syou McAfee. Both are good, but may cause an older computer to slow down. I would not suggest adding any other antivirus like the ones some of the retail stores try to sell you on. AVG, Avast, and Avira are good free ones you can download as well. LIke I said, I use Defender.

Speedtest.net Is what I use to test my Internet speeds. You should be getting what you pay for. Here is a test of my home system:
Ping is how long it takes for a signal to leave my computer, go to the server, and return. Download is the speed I am downloading at in million bits per second. Upload is the speed at which I am sending up to the server. I am paying for 15 Mbps so this reading is pretty good. If you are getting much less than you are paying for, complain.

Print Screen and where does it go. When you press the Print Screen key on your keyboard it does not print what is on the screen. That was a couple of three decades ago under DOS. Now it takes a picture of the screen and places it in the Windows clipboard. You can then open another program and paste the image into it. The data remains in the clipboard until you press Print Screen again or simply copy something, then it is replaced with the new data. The clipboard is emptied when you turn your computer off.
