    Technical help please and thanks

    Computer running very slow and I am getting so many adverts especially on MSM Question is how do I stop them ?

    DS may know but we have been visiting them rather than them visiting us as kids have had lots of parties, fayres etc

    I have no idea how the manage money wise

    School fayre Kids make something and the parents can buy it at the fayre :eek: £2 to buy 5 candy canes with a cheap white candle tied with the tiniest bit of ribbon GD explained it was really expensive to make and probably cost more than that

    Do you have Malwarebytes? If so run it, if not download and run this (free version is plenty).

    https://www.malwarebytes.com/mwb-download/ (removes any adware)

    If it is still slow after that, download and run this (again, free version)

    https://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download (removes stuff you don't need)

    And a quick scan with your antivirus wouldn't go amiss.

    You may well need to reboot to see any difference.

    Of course, depending on the age of your computer, it could just be creaking into old age!

    Don't know about computer sorry:(
    I agree i dont know how people with families manage half the time especially if they are muggles:eek:
    Such an expensive time of the year now as well ontop of everyday shopping/bills/living

    The other day I saw someone buying Tetley at 2.89 (for 80) when there were 100 Typhoo for £1 nearby. Seemed to be a case of grab the nearest.

    She was surprised at the till at her total spend. :eek:

    Actually, there is a big difference between those two teas. It is a long while since I have bought branded tea, so I can't recall which was which, but I liked one of those but not the other!

    That said, I now buy Lidl tea bags anyway, they are cheaper than the Sainsbury value ones and I like them.
