VZ Protect Recover options no longer free?

Am I the only one that noticed the change in today's (August 20, 2014) update to VZ Protect will require a "Total Protection" place to keep the recovery features working? Apparently there's a grace period, and an open enrollment period for the next month or so, but after that you'll have to pay $10/month for this protection plan.
I don't want the total protection insurance. I just want the virus protection and recovery features.
Do I have to move to an alternative (e.g., AVG)?

Well, AVG has had a good reputation as a company for many years.
I do wish it were more obvious what the different features did, and which ones you have to pay for. That's true of a lot of other stuff, too. I have cleaners that come with anti-virus, antivirus that come with cleaners, and so on.

  • Advanced option no longer appears in SB Entertainment Center tab

    @Advanced option no longer appears in SB Entertainment Center tabD I recently wanted to watch movie DVD's on my computer. Knowing very little about video/sounds concepts, I installed the ffdshow video/audio decoder (part of the K-Lite Codec package). After several days I was able to watch movie DVD's on my computer, both video and audio using a movie DVD that had Dolby Surround 5.. However, I was unable to hear any sound from my rear speakers, so I began to experiment with different settings.
    At one point in the SB Entertainment Center I clicked on the Entertainment Center tab/Advanced settings, brought up the AC3Filter window and changed one of the settings to Filter merit/Prefer other decoder. Testing this setting resulted in no sound. Now the Advanced settings option also no longer appears when I bring up the Entertainment Center tab so that I can change this setting back to its default.
    How do I get this option back or bring up the AC3Filter window?
    I would appreciate any suggestions you might have. Thank you.

    I seem to see that using
    * Firefox Button or Tools -> Options -> | Advanced | ->[-Offline Storage-]
    *see [[Options window - Advanced panel#w_network-tab]]_network-tab
    Possibly something is interfering
    * try in Firefox's [[safe mode]]
    ** do not make changes on the first window, just click on continue
    ** use the default theme
    ** it may also help to disable all plugins
    Note <br/>
    Firefox 5 is no longer supported and not considered secure. It would be recommended you use the current public release which is Firefox 7.0.1

  • Checking out Pdf files to Local draft Folder option no longer works after office 2013 installed.

    Checking out Pdf files to Local draft Folder option no longer works after office 2013 installed.
    Summary :
    We are using SharePoint 2010 Ent edition and users were able to checkout Pdf files similar to local drafts folder like any other office file without any problem when they used office 2010.
    i.e
    Unfortunately ever since their machines upgraded with office 2013 recently , this functionality completely stopped working for PDF files. This has now become a big problem for the users when it comes to check out and replace PDF files.
    All browser plugins required for this functionality (i.e    SharePoint OpenDocuments Class ) are all available and active. All document libraries are configured to Checkout is required for editing files. Browser version
    used at the moment is IE9 (32 bit) version with windows 7. 
    Can anyone please help with this issue and any help to get away with this problem is much appreciated.

    Hi,
    Based on your description, my understanding is that the PDF files cannot be checked out to local drafts folder after Office 2013 is installed.
    Did this issue occur with Office files?
    I recommend to check if the Office files can be checked out to local drafts folder with Office 2013.
    And it is recommended to use Office 2010 with SharePoint 2010 for best practice.
    Thanks,

  • Why are the download options no longer categorized as in flv, WMP, MP3 etc?

    Why are the download options no longer categorized as in flv, WMP, MP3 etc?
    All one gets from the download drop-down menu is:
    (480p), (240p) or (360p) for example and the name of the video of course.
    The way it is now, I cannot identify the type of video I am downloading as I could before.
    Thanks!

    Ubi,
    Your assumptions are incorrect. Not all Youtube videos are offered in other formats; some are only offered in FLV format. Generally, only the very HD ones are offered in MP4. The format in which videos are offered are the decision of Youtube and/or the original poster of the video.
    I opted to not pay for the VDH converter. There are FREE converters that will convert FLV to other formats, but they do not interface with VDH. Even the VDH converter is a 2-step process (in both manual or automatic mode). The converter that is included free with VDH will put an ugly icon/watermark on your converted video--every frame of the video. To find a free converter, just Google "free flv converter" (with the quotation marks).

  • Carbon Copy Cloner no longer free ):

    ok guys i just found out the CCC is no longer free. Can someone tell me another alternative to back up my hd, or where i can download it again?
    Thanks.

    The following is from: Carbon Copy Cloner's Transition to a Commercial Product 
    Can I continue using the older version that is "donationware"?
    Yes, absolutely. If you are currently using CCC and have not donated in the past, you are welcome to continue using any version up to and including 3.4.7 as long as you like without purchasing a license. Note, however, that previous versions of CCC are not qualified against Mountain Lion and we are no longer developing older versions of CCC. In addition, we offer limited support on a case-by-case basis. Choose "Update CCC..." from the Carbon Copy Cloner menu to see options for disabling the CCC software update checks.
    You can download previous versions of CCC on our Downloads page.
    If I donated for CCC in the past, will I have to purchase the new version?
    No. To express our appreciation to all of the people who have sent a verifiable donation to Bombich Software prior to July 24, 2012, we will grant a registration code for CCC 3.5. If you are a previous donor and see a message about a 30-day trial, you can retrieve your registration code here.

    Pablo,
    I think the best choice for what you are trying to do is 1&1 Webhosting. You will like the pricing, the domain options, and they offer a forum/blog app that works great. You also mentioned something about third party ftp in your other post; you will enjoy the flexibility that can be achieved if you are using something like GoLive or DreamWeaver. Getting and putting files is not an issue, and you can also set up password protection with 1&1 as well.

  • My iphone 4 is in DFU mode.  However I still want the photos on the phone so I cant use the itune recover option.  Does anyone know of a work around

    My iphone 4 is in DFU mode.  However I still want the photos on the phone so I cant use the itune recover option.  Does anyone know of a work around

    actually its not in DFU which is suppose to be a black screen.  When it powers on there is an image of Itunes logo and the usb cord.  What happened is I did an update before I backed up my photos the phone worked great after the update no issues till it powered off.  When I turned it on again it had those two icons and was forcing me to sync with Itunes to system default which will wipe out my media. 
    Have you heard of any data recovery services

  • Duplex printing option no longer avaialble in Preview and TextEdit.

    I am no longer offered the option to select two-sided printing for .pdfs in Preview or for text documents in TextEdit when using my HP Officejet K550. The printing options no longer allow me to select Paper Type or Print Quality for these documents either. If I open a the same .pdf in Adobe Reader or Acrobat Pro, the duplex, paper, and quality options are available. I have the latest driver and firmware updates from HP, and my Apple software is up to date. HP Support suggests it is an issue with the applications from which I'm printing (e.g. Preview).
    Does anybody know why this has happened or how to restore these options when printing from Preview or TextEdit?
    Intel iMac   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    Since you are using an Intel Mac, the two applications you mention have been written in Universal Binary. For your HP printer driver, if it relies on print dialog extensions (pde's) to make these options available, and these same files have been written for the older Power PC processor, then this can make the options unavailable when printing from Universal applications. And that could explain why they are available when printing from Acrobat, as this is probably still the PPC version.
    The solution would be to find a Universal version of the HP driver (I know you mentioned you have the latest but if its not Universal then it will have this issue).
    To prove it is a Universal vs PPC issue, you can change Preview so that it opens using the Rosetta emulator. Control-click on the Preview icon and select Get Info. Select the check box "Open using Rosetta" and then close the window. Then open Preview and try to print two-sided.

  • DVR Search Option No Longer Works - After The Crap Upgrade

    The new software upgrade is crap. DVR search option no longer works. I can't use the search option to find my favorite programs and set the DVR to record them. It only lets me put the first letter in the search field and then nothing. I can't enter any more letters aftet that.
    Verizon sent me another DVR but it has same issues. They sent a technician to my house and he basically told me, the upgrade is crap and lots of people are having technical issues.
    He gave me another box and said it is working. Now I have three DVRs sitting in my house and I have to return two. After he left I tried to search and I have the same exact issue so basically he just lied and didn't fix anything.
    I called tech support over and over, and they just told me that they can't do anything. They basicaly admitted that the upgrade is crap and the are clueless on how to fix it. So I'm stock with 3 DVRs that don't work. Billing department told me they can't give me any discounts either.
    Anyone else is having these issues?

    Same issue here.  Sent me another box, same model as the old one.  Same exact issues.  Called Tech support back, they admitted it was a known issue, and nothing he could do about it.  Was told I had to talk to someone in SALES to get them to send me a newer box.
    New box is here, and now i have no option to record.  Oh, and last time I called tech support... I got 'disconnected' (after being on hold for 30+ minutes).  They are really dropping the ball, and I will not be renewing.

    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."

    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
