without the data restoration software i would be paying the local
computer shop in tucson $65 just to look at the hdd as well as $35 - $45 a hour to rescue the files. it might take 2 hours to get the files but they charge u for like 4 hours and shit. with the shops u cant even be assured that they aint snoopin around the hdd lookin at porn that might be stored on there


avg + spybot + spyware blaster is all i need to get rid of spyware and block viruses. uninstalled mwb because i didnt like it

Im going to pick up 1 of these shits for $20! Just pop in the hard drive plug in the USB and retrieve ur files.....I think you can use it on Laptop HDDs too. I have 3 hard drive laying around my house that Im allways woundering whats on them....Ill most likely going to find ah bunch of old pics wich would be cool for the $20 I spend. Shit just knowing whats on these HDDs would be worth it.

if the hdd aint been reformatted u can easily get the data back using any data recovery software. if its been reformatted the file names will still be there but most of the files will be corrupt

Chrome stays eating up my memory. I let windows manage the page files, everything is set to devote ram to programs and not background resources and things are set up for performance and not graphics. I thought malwarebytes was the culprit but the true culprit is chrome. I only have two extensions, ad block and google docs, yet I saw the amount being used by chrome in windows task manager (multiple instances at over 400,000) and the saw multiple instances of it in chrome's task manager. That's ok, because I guess it gives an instance of each tab or what not, but if I am on a web page there should be no reason that it's getting up to a gig of ram or two as far as what is being used.

Did all the scans (virus, root kits, malware, etc) and can't find the issue. Is this a memory leak? If so, can I fix it by removing chrome and then reinstalling it?

XP SP3, 2 GIGS OF RAM, 2.6GHZ AMD.

Type:

chrome://flags/#max-tiles-for-interest-area

in the address bar of your chrome browser, after which you’ll be re-directed to an options page of which the first tab will have the default option enabled. Change it to 512 MB, and re-launch chrome.
I just did that and will test it out by doing a lot of surfing or just opening tabs or pages with a lot of content.

I will keep you posted.

That helped but some websites are still eating up a ton of memory. One such website is IGN. I saw it climb to 1.2 gig. There is a shitload of content and flash shit on IGN, but should I be hitting 1.2 gig with just one tab? With siccness, outlook and MSN up I am barely at 300mb.

is there anything like plugin containers in chrome that just eat up memory. u shouldnt have one site eating 1.2 gb of ram. its probably something in the google chrome code that allows for memory leakage. i think its because chrome come with java and flash automatically switched on. dunno if theres a way to disable them. just to be sure uninstall chrome

So how does one save a video send through a private chat on facebook?
When I play it, I get just a flash screen of the video.

Right click on it and I get the settings for flash the address bar doesn't change either and when I click 'save as' on the video while still in the chat it only downloads a .html file.


I am a bit lost on this one.
