    “Is Windows Defender really enough for antivirus protection?”

    If you’re “smart” about threats, then yes…but it depends on who you ask:

    “Never had such an issue with Avast on previous Win10 laptops though”

    The general rule (at least at one time) is to leave only one anti-virus program “live”. If you still have issues, then I’d suspect you’ve got some sort of hardware-related issue going on. Again, with only 2 months on the clock, I’d be seriously considering returning it…

    Personally, I run Avast on Win7 64-bit (had Win10, really, really didn’t like it — reverted back to Win7). I also occasionally get a freeze on the SSD, though it’s not enough for me to ditch Avast, since fewer and fewer are supporting Win7

  4. Is the router configured to respond to pings? Often they are not. Presumably you are trying to ping it by dotted quad rather than name; in that case it shouldn't matter whether it is the default gateway or just another device on the network. Assuming that both devices are on the same network, and yoRead more

    Is the router configured to respond to pings? Often they are not. Presumably you are trying to ping it by dotted quad rather than name; in that case it shouldn’t matter whether it is the default gateway or just another device on the network.
    Assuming that both devices are on the same network, and your netmask settings are correct, they should be able to talk to each other. You don’t say whether you can reach the Internet – presumably not, or else what is the problem.

    Without knowing the network settings on the devices it’s difficult to give a more meaningful answer.

  6. Yes delete them. They are quarantined instead of being deleted in case any of them are "false positives" (incorrectly identified as malware) and you need to retrieve it. If you know you don't need them, delete them.

  8.

    Well, firstly it would help if you could explain what the program is intended to do, however im assuming you mean that when the application lauches it asks the user to enter credentials, if they credentials are incorrect after 3 failed attemnpts the applications should end.
    Ok here is a very important question, where will the users crediantials (ie usernam and password) be stored???

    i usually use an Access database to store this information, however if your application only had a hand full, maybe 10 users you could use a flat file such a as notepad and use some basic encryption to store the passwords, this is not the best solution, but with the lack of information you have provided we cannot really do much more.

    Answer the above and we’ll try and help.
