I'm looking to try a new OS after all the issues I have been having with windows. Can anyone recommend me a new OS.I got my eyes set on a chromebook or ubuntu. But i'm not sure which one yet. Also Software isnt a big priority for me,I mostly surf the web and use online apps(Google docs).My computer isn't too powerful so I don't want anything that will make my computer work too hard.
Thanks

If you're going to be rude about it there's always Google which would've probably been a better start than asking on a forum.
I wasn't trying to be rude.I thanked him for his help,but saying "he thinks so" isnt really reassuring to anyone.
Also "mta" thanks for the help.It was useful
-
Not too helpful. I want someone to be sure of what there saying.But thanks anyway for trying .I appreciate it.Can someone else tell me
-
Hi,I tried to test my internet connection by pinging to a website.Anyway does windows store a history of what websites you have pinged too, much like they do when you go on a website in internet explorer
-
can you guide me through the steps on how to do it in Notepad
-
Also no one has told me HOW to check If I have an autorun.inf file on my computer
-
Would MSE(Microsoft Security essentials) block autorun.inf and also How can I check out if my USB drive has an autorun.inf file.
-
Well thanks for the suggestions
-
Is it possible to check when your USB stick was plugged into a computer and to see what time. I don't really want to download software to check it, but I read somewhere event viewer can tell me, is this true?
-
I have never cleaned my computers insides before so dust accumulation may be the reason
-
I have windows 7 (not sure what service pack though)
-
I don't think i'll need a completely buy a new PSU. The computer works fine,its just that the sound is very annoying if I listen closely,but thanks for the suggestions
-
how would I get to the root of the usb
-
Wikipedia didn't tell me how to get there.I was wondering if you could tell me how to find the file.

Hello, I accidently plugged an infected USB drive into my computer. The computer was turned off when I plugged it in, but I read somewhere that The USB ports are still on even though the computer is turned off and its possible to still get infected. I was wondering whether or not this is true
-
Its an emachines EL1360 -UB10P. Its a normal desktop computer. The warrenty expired a couple of days ago
-
How do I find out if my USB has software that auto runs when the USB is plugged in
-
Also how can I fix it without replacing any of my computer parts
-
It started shortly after I got my computer
-
When I take out the plug the buzzing stops and when I put it back in it begins once again. It doesn't come out of the system speakers. I hold my ear up against the computer and I hear a buzzing sound. The noise is sometimes louder some times and quieter other times. but it doesn't really stop
-
for the last several weeks I have heard a strange buzzing sound coming from my computer even though its off. I tried performing a Google search but it wouldn't give me any useful answers so I was wondering if the piriform community knew what it was and how to fix it.
-
ok thanks
-
I wanted to know how many of you would like Piriform's development team to focus on porting their software to linux or instead improving their existing software for windows/mac.Personally I would like them to make a version of their software(ccleaner,recuva,defragger and especially speccy) for Linux.Post your opinions below and I'd be happy to read them

I had a qeustion about ccleaners wipe free space option.Does it wipe the entire drive or only the entries in the MFT.I ran ccleaners wipe free space option a week ago and it overwrote the MFT free space and part of the hard drive free space but I cancelled the operation after a few minutes.Now I am wondering whether it will still clean the entire hard drives free space or only overwrite the deleted entries in the MFT

Once again thanks for the advice
