I am plagued with MSN Dot Com loading up every time i switch on my computer and reading up on it all i see is a lot of talk about:

Do you have Mozilla or firefox.

I do not know what they are?

All i know is that i have windows 10, and Google Chrome and that i have Edge but do not use edge i use Google Chrome.

I cannot find anyway of switching this page off every time i put my computer on.

It loads with MSN dot Com and asks "Do i want to accept cookies" Which i don't.

How do i stop this from loading every time i switch on my computer?

This is what loads up

Hi Don.

The message has disappeared again altogether.

I think i misunderstood it.

It was not "

"To protect your online ID"It was "You must sign in again"

Sorry for disappearing. If the message comes back, let me know.

I will uninstall AVG.

Changing my password did not work with Windows Live Mail.

I fixed the Microsoft account, by typing in my pin number after it said it needs fixing last night.

After doing so it said "all accounts are working correctly"

I go to bed, wake up, put my computer on log into windows live mail and as usual it says "To protect your online ID" Message.

It all began after i updated my Microsoft account to include a mobile number.

I waited 30 days for it to be updated and this is where it all began.

The phone i have is not android, it is windows 10, i am confused as to what is going on here?

  1. This isn't related to the phone.

Was AVG uninstalled yesterday?

    Hi Don.

    It is totally cured.

    I no longer see the message "To protect your online ID"

    It disappeared after AVG Antivirus Free edition was removed.

    The one i saw coming back was like it, and i thought it was the same 
    I realised it said something like "You must sign in again" A different message.

    Nothing has appeared for a few days now.

    I wondered what was in AVG that caused it?

    I have another computer that works fine, however i have to keep putting a pin number in it.
    I understand if you remove the pin, it is replaced by, you have to type in a password at log in.

    It is easy to set up so that it just comes on without a password or pin number?

    About AVG... Probably a safe browsing or an anti tracking feature. AVG Cleaner can also cause problems.

    Eliminating the Windows 10 password...

    Hi Don.

    From what i remember, you have to eliminate the pin number.

    Then it reverts to "You have to put a password in"

    You then have to get rid of this password as well.

    It could go wrong if you do not know the password.

    I cannot remember if it is the same password as the Microsoft password?

    I found a link once, but cannot remember where it was.

    Stage 1 is to eliminate the Pin Number and disable it.

    After this it reverts to the user having to put in a password, which then has to be disabled
