If they have all gone then people will have to send this years electronically - photo by Simon Williams, Church Lane :-

I did try photoshop for a couple of months. One of my daughters tried to move me on from my old software and got me a years monthly subscription to photoshop. That was two modules/apps - Lightroom and I can't remember the other one - at about £20 a month. I played with it for the two months then went online to photoshop and convinced them I was too old to change and just had to cancel the contract. Told them, via online messaging, that I was 83 years old and that I just couldn't make the change from my old software. They wanted another 8 months monthly subscription to cancel the contract but I managed to persuade them to just cancel the contract without a cancellation fee of 8 months payments. Saved the daughter £200 and I just carried on with my Microsoft Digital Image Pro 10. As one of my 'hobbies from home' is repairing old damaged photos for members of Facebook groups and Rootschat I can't see me learning something new whilst the old software works fine for me. A couple of my recent repairs :-

I'm hopeless CL - very little I do like and the cooked food I do like has to be well done and free of sauces and spices. I once had Mulligatawny soup (c1988, Indian restaurant in London) and my mouth was on fire for 3 days😰. Beef gravy is fine👍. Raw fish! No chance - crispy battered cod is the only sea food I can stomach.

Just Bedlington twang and old technology - The first 8 words in my comment above are mine, the rest from 'GNU - GNU Image Manipulation........' was Copy & Paste from Google - but I thought Vic would understand it I have clarted with GIMP but even some of the commands from the menus I struggled to read. The text is so small.

I'm al for change = advancing technologies but I can't stand the way we are bombarded with loads of applications. I know technology has to cater for the up and coming pioneers of the future (our gran children) but I just wish they would allow us more mature people of this world the opportunity to easily remove the applications we will never use😊. I do all my 'clarting' with photos on my 13 year old Desktop PC with Windows Vista but I have backed them all up, memory sticks, and copied them onto my new PC ready for when the old PC packs in and I have to start working out how some new 'clarting' photo software works. I have Gimp downloaded on the new PC. Gimp - GNU Image Manipulation Program - is a free and open-source raster graphics editor used for image manipulation and image editing, free-form drawing, transcoding between different image file formats, and more specialized tasks. GIMP is released under GPL-3.0-or-later license and is available for Linux, macOS, and Microsoft Windows. So it's a toss up for who lasts longer, me or my Vista PC

@Canny lass - can't find anything that just relates to the popup names. There is loads around about the file name McAfee LiveSafe but everything I can find says use the McAfee 'Dashboard' - and I am guessing you don't have that. Your situation has me beat - but I will keep looking, when I'm not clarting ps. Windows 11 installed on new PC (Vista still on the old one) - now I will have to find out all the extras that comes with it and see what I can delete

I think I'll move to Sweden - I melt in 21 degrees

I'll see if I can find out anything but it might take awhile - busy upgrading my Windows 10 PC to Windows 11, Sep 1 of 3 currently 78% complete

Oh dear. What's the name of the files and we might be able to find out what section/program of McAfee is adding them to your system due to their virus protection having expired.

@Maggie/915 although your uploaded file has a MOV = Quick Time Movies my system won't play it. I just get a few seconds of the group playing🙃

I know it's earlier than normal but I keep thinking my PC might catch an omicron variant, 'Desktop Lock Out'. Stay safe. Eggy

The reload, Following yesterdays deletion(s), the reload of your laptop may have made the final clearance of MacFee 👍

@Canny lass - it has me confused so I Googled - 'McAfee uninstalled but popups keep appearing' - and got :-

Another attempt :- Windows 10 1. Left click on the plain Windows logo at the bottom left hand corner of your screen and that will display all the programs you have loaded. 2. Scroll through and find the MacAphee logo 3. Right click on that logo and you will get the option to uninstall.

CL - all my attempts to add displays + text etc. for uninstalling on Windows 10 have failed and I don't know why they all failed to upload - I'm working on it.

This is just guess work and Google - it's a few years since I used McAphee = free version for a year. Have you ever used the 'uninstall' command? Type uninstall in your 'Start/Search' panel and you should get a list of all the software programs you have installed and when you click on the program you are after you should get an option to Uninstall/Delete. If you have access to the 'Control Panel' and depending on your Windows version you might be able to access the uninstall tool via the Control Panel that could take you to the Programs and Features option that when selected gives you a list of all your installed software and the option to uninstall :- If you still have McAphee dashboard then you could try :- Access the McAfee dashboard. Select “Navigation” from the top-right corner. From the “Next” tab, select “General Settings and Alerts.” To manually turn off pop-ups, select the “Informational Alerts” and “Protection Alerts” option. Uncheck the boxes to stop receiving pop-up alerts. If thay fails then it

Has anyone upgraded their system to Windows 11 and if so were there any problems?

Can't even spell it. That will teach me not to divide into it, but it';s too late for me to change
