Erik and Bob take your computer questions. Intel and ARM computer chips suffer critical "Meltdown" and "Spectre" security flaws; millions of devices are affected. US Border agency searches more than 30,000 phones for "national security" reasons. We help a listener with dwindling hard drive space on his hard drive use utilities (WinDirStat and TreeSize Free, available on our website) determine space hogging files, plus instructions on how to move the "page file" (essentially a temporary storage area in Windows) to another hard drive to save space. Apple may lose big as customers discover they can change the battery in their old iPhones rather than purchase new ones. Erik updates us on his experiences with Google Project fi, Google's low-cost wireless phone service. A listener gets help on how to create "recovery media" for a new computer, which may help to get the computer back up and running in the event of a disaster. Plus, advice on using the OpenDNS to surf the web more safely by blocking malicious websites. Further, we counsel when a listener asks if upgrading financial software is necessary when upgrading to Windows 10. An e-mailer wonders if an iPhone can get a virus, and how to deal with pop-ups that may appear on an iOS device. We inform a listener about Classic Shell, a program that allows Windows 10 to have the visual "look and feel" of earlier Windows versions. We help a caller stay safe from phone call scams offering to "fix" your computer or remove computer viruses that don't really exist. Professional "swatter" arrested; claims to have made fake calls requiring police response to over 100 schools and 10 homes.
