The last two were useless with the last one only wanting to tell me anything if i register - don't think so. The first one said that I has been but declined to say which account with whom.
Are you sure it’s netflix sending the emails and not a spoof site 3 accounts that I know have don’t have any issues
I'm using someone else's account (with their permission) so I think I'm safe. The same with Eurosport.
Good point but I don't recall any links on the email to reset the password. I haven't got the emails now and I've emptied the bin. If it happens again then I will check them, carefully.
Since I haven't given my password to my teenage daughters I've had no problems with Netflix. Legitimate to share in the same household, though they're rarely here TBH as they live at my ex's most of the time. When I did get pinged with alerts about access from a new device it was in the UK and tended to centre around where my ex's sister and family live... Anyway, nipped now in the bud, if daughters want access then they have to give me their phone or laptop and I set it up. Note to the OP. Netflix and any other provider can only tell your location based on the point of presence, this is where your provider connects you to the internet backbone, not at your house and can be many miles away.
Yes, I get the correct alerts when it is me (normally they are 20 miles out but I know that it is me) but I'm pretty confident that the ones from South Africa/America and the Far East are hacks. i've changed the NetFlix password to something that I only use on NetFlix, so we shall see.
This site called filehippo Download Ccleaner (free version) & run it on basic functions. You don't even need to actually delete stuff to realize your computer has thousands of unwanted files (analyse). Thank me later once you actually delete the stuff & fix registery errors & make your computer run much faster. I would point out save a copy of your web browser bookmarks. So that if you choose to update stuff you have what you regularly view to hand.
It found and cleaned 5640 trackers 6165 mb of junk. It was very pleased and told me that my PC will be much faster now. The difference is clear.. NOT! I think that there is much BS in the industry. 'Junk' files, like those in your recycle bin, DO NOT slow down your PC!
Have you tried the registry cleaner of CCleaner, I find that makes a difference especially to start up times. What version of windows are you running, a fresh install is often a good idea too.
No, I haven't tried the registry cleaner, but I will. To be fair: i have not tried a cold restart yet but I will now out of interest.
It’s worth a try. I find our desktop pc running windows 7 gets slower and slower, about every 18 months or so I reinstall windows.
Did the registry clean and then restarted. If there was a difference then I would say that it was negligible. I think that there may be a 'real' faster and then a 'psychological faster' going on!
I doubt if I'll bother as that would be loads of work finding software and keys from years ago. My PC performance is fine as far as I'm concerned. It's just software packages telling me it is not so buy their software!
Quick note here - you say '...it installed Opera...'. I expect that you inadvertently allowed it to install Opera because you didn't untick a box that informed you that it was going to be installed. This is the sort of thing that gets your PC loaded up with garbage/malware/whatever and takes up disk space.... Just sayin' in case you're unaware...
Yes you should of read the install screen, but Ccleaner comes with a tools/uninstall section. You do need to empty the recycle bin if you went through with deleting the items. Which is a good thing & after say two reboots, check the register for faults & correct/delete as needed. Other than running a decent security suite of your own choice (mines Kasperspy) this little utility is very handy Perry.
Theres a fair few articles -no idea if they are correct- about saying that CC registry cleaner is now a disaster and avoid... Google it?
