How to delete or protect your Yahoo account - ZDNET
I have been having this conversation with my clients quite a bit over the past several months. So, one more time RUN! RUN! RUN!
And oh yes, don't forget to change ALLLLLLLLL of your passwords. Good time to learn to use Keepass. If I have worked on your computer you already have it.

Seeing Spots on Windows 10 Touchscreen
Small translucent circles and dots started showing up on a Windows 10 laptop's touchscreen. The longer the machine was on the more of them there were. Spent over an hour checking for virus, driver and hardware issues. Eventually gave up thinking it was a bad screen. A couple of days later got a call from its owner saying he had solved the problems. Seems the tape he put over the webcam lens to keep spys out might have been touching the touchscreen. He took off the tape and the spots are gone.
No peaking ;)

Windows 10 Arrives
A Surprise in Your Taskbar
Updated 9/4/15
"Windows 10 will be here sometime this summer", they said. I have known this was coming for a while.
Surprise! Getting things set up on the bench this morning (6/1/15) and a strange new icon started showing up in the tray on several machines. I almost spilled my coffee when I rolled the mouse over one and saw an invite for Windows 10.
