Malware bytes ran but random strange occurrence happened

I JUST SAW A POST ABOUT THIS AND MANY OTHER PEOPLE ARE REPORTING THIS SORT OF ISSUE AFTER USING SKYPE I HAVE UNINSTALLED SKYPE! FOR NOW CONSIDER SKYPE DANGEROUS SINCE IT MAY HAVE A BACK DOOR

Had a live chat with Skype tech support regarding a potential security breech. The tech support person said that they were going to send it to the engineers to investigate

I'm using Chrome, with ad-blocker, hangouts (google chat), and docs.

So I was just minding my own business on Skype talking with friends then left the call for a while and when I came back when a random pornographic site (child porn something about american movers.com) popped up while on my desktop after I left the call I managed to close it before it did anything I have no downloads of any pictures just the website, so I ran malware bytes and after a while it finished and it removed two PUGs I had them removed, 5 minutes later task bar application opens up randomly even though I was not doing anything that would cause it to open so I run it again and it does not find anything wrong. This computer is used very carefully by just me and have never visited any sketchy sites. The only thing that I can think of that would have brought a virus onto my computer was a flash drive that I let one of my classmates use a while back to present a project from his home PC to the school. I plugged in the flash drive into my computer yesterday and today I got the random pop up and the random task bar program launching. I know that malwarebytes removed two threats but I'm not sure if that random taskbar application is anything serious or just me overthinking.

certain keys on my keyboard dont work when "cold"

Hi guys, i have a Lenovo Y520-15IKBN (80WK) and certain keys on the keyboard don't work (e,g,h,8,9,Fn...) but only when the weather is cold. for example in the winter it used to work after certain amount of time when i first boot the laptop and stops working when i stop using it for a while, but now that the weather is hot it works just fine except for the first couple of minutes or when its colder. of course i do realise that it has nothing to do with the outside weather but with the temperature of the computer itself. can someone explain to me why this is happening and how it should be fixed as i cannot take it to the tech service until july even though it's still under warranty because i need it for school. ps: an external keyboard works fine.

Old PC with a Foxconn n15235 motherboard needs drivers! Help!!

So my Pc corrupted and I had to fresh install windows on it, but now its missing 3 drivers and one of them is for the Ethernet controller! I've tried searching everywhere for the windows 7 drivers but all I seem to find are some dodgey programs saying they will install it for me. Problem is without the ethernet driver I can't bloody connect to the internet. I've been using a USB to try get some drivers on there, but they just end up being useless programmes . I'm also a bit of a noob at these things, I don't understand where to find the names of things in my PC, I've opened it up but I don't understand whats significant and what isnt. If someone has the drivers and can teach me how to install them I'd be very appreciative! Submitted April 29, 2018 at 02:47PM by darrilsteady https://ift.tt/2r76xMZ
