@dragonslayer109 My laptop is Win7, my HP server is 8.1.
The svchost in 7 really sucks. Only 4gigs RAM on the laptop and the memory leaks can cause freeze ups.
8.1 so far, no problem.
I've been told for Win10, the SpyBot Anti-Beacon is awesome. Stops all intruding software, and I mean all. I have it on 8.1 and it stops cookies from sending or receiving data.
Website sidebar ads will show as 404 warnings 'can't find webpage'.
So I know its working.
