      Windows 10 troubleshooting: How to fix the most common annoyances

      We've got solutions for a cursor moving on its own, uncontrollable scrolling, update issues and more Microsoft problems.
      Windows 10 ($150 at Amazon) is now on more than 1 billion devices worldwide. While Microsoft releases monthly security patches and larger feature updates twice a year, users still tend to run into some common problems with the OS that can be frustrating to deal with. We've got you covered. Here are instructions on how to troubleshoot 10 common Windows 10 problems, collected from CNET's forums and other sites and message boards. One caveat: There are often multiple ways to fix a Windows 10 issue, and what works for you may depend on your device's make and model and several other factors.

          The Federal Communications Commission wants to hear from Internet users about their experiences trying to find good broadband service. The FCC announced yesterday that it is seeking "first-hand accounts on broadband availability and service quality directly from consumers" as part of a new data collection effort. People who live in areas where ISPs either haven't deployed service or have failed to upgrade old networks may be especially interested in participating..

              They are doing this so that they can pretend that they don't know how bad it is.

                              OS X is 20 years old now?! I remember that change, seems like it wasn't nearly that long ago.

                                I like these better than most icons in Linux distros... but that's just me.

                                  No kidding. I remember Mac magazines talking about the upcoming OSX release in late 1999. It wasn't out yet, but everyone was talking about what a game changer it would be. It still feels like the "new kid on the block" even after all of this time. It's still SO much younger than Linux and Windows NT.

                                          New Android malware with full range of spying capabilities has been found

                                          Despite its sophistication, the app can be easy for more experienced users to spot.
                                          Researchers have discovered a new advanced piece of Android malware that finds sensitive information stored on infected devices and sends it to attacker-controlled servers. The app disguises itself as a system update that must be downloaded from a third-party store, researchers from security firm Zimperium said on Friday. In fact, it’s a remote-access trojan that receives and executes commands from a command-and-control server. It provides a full-featured spying platform that performs a wide range of malicious activities.

                                            Purple Fox Rootkit Can Now Spread Itself to Other Windows Computers

                                            Purple Fox, a Windows malware previously known for infecting machines by using exploit kits and phishing emails, has now added a new technique to its arsenal that gives it worm-like propagation capabilities
                                            The ongoing campaign makes use of a "novel spreading technique via indiscriminate port scanning and exploitation of exposed SMB services with weak passwords and hashes," according to Guardicore researchers, who say the attacks have spiked by about 600% since May 2020. A total of 90,000 incidents have been spotted through the rest of 2020 and the beginning of 2021. First discovered in March 2018, Purple Fox is distributed in the form of malicious ".msi" payloads hosted on nearly 2,000 compromised Windows servers that, in turn, download and execute a component with rootkit capabilities, which enables the threat actors to hide the malware on the machine and make it easy to evade detection.
