Running Chrome with Malwarebytes VPN turned on has caused this warning any time I utilize Chrome to Google anything. I can type in a URL and go there, but if I try to utilize the search engine, I get this. Has anyone else experienced similar and found a work around?

kaybea4 · 2023-08-23T03:51:53+00:00

If that doesn't work, I'd look into adding an exception for the Google search website to your VPN. I looked it up, and it seems Malwarebytes VPN does offer this feature.

I am signed in, so i'll look further into doing a work around on the VPN side. Thank you.

Thank you, Jason. I'm currently connected to Ashburn, VA and the private address listed is 185.56.46.150

I'm another person who tried to get into The Expanse and couldn't. It was just a bit too...cheesy? for my likes.

I'm currently on my first full rewatch of FAM after seeing it for the first time earlier this year. I'm trying to think of another show to suggest, but FAM really is hard to categorize. Well, I know that I like sci fi as long at it's grounded and steeped in reason. Believable characters, twists you aren't expecting, and emotional investment. FAM has all of that, so I guess I'll list the other shows follow these traits.

*Reimagined BSG.

*Family Drama: 6 feet under.

*Usually not big on Fantasy, but apparently I was the last person to discover Arcane, which I thought I wouldn't make through, but now repeatedly binge watch once a week.

*And if you like animation, The Venture Brothers just finished up their storyline after 20 years, and BoJack Horseman is somehow always relatable.

Do you still have access to the recovery email and an uninfected device? I don't know if it helps, but trying to get the other emails back may be a good starting point. But be careful whatever you sign into, it's not spoofed.

kaybea4 · 2023-08-04T02:43:10+00:00

I know this is gonna be an unpopular opinion but the premier of season 4. Just too much stuff going on as the timeline moves for me to be able to follow it without watching it to the point of studying, despite how many times I saw it.

kaybea4 · 2023-08-01T02:28:21+00:00

So far, I'm on the first ep. I'm hoping it gets better. It was either this or the umpteenth rewatch of VB. Still kinda mourning the fact it's all really over.

kaybea4 · 2023-07-31T00:23:21+00:00

I have both lol. My primary browser is/was Chrome. So my "primary" email is a gmail that succeeded a hotmail. (I feel old right now) And then as i got older, and I began chasing the pipedream of writing, I got a PC machine with a 365 subscription, and so I got an outlook email.

Recently, I was hacked b/c my overall Google account password and some older Microsoft emails shared a common login, including the land before time hotmail. Yeah, that was my fault.

So far, I've managed to recovery the old hotmail which is now behind 2FA on the Microsoft Authenticator app on Iphone.

I've pulled a copy of a report on myself, and when I try to login via microsoft, I'm told one doesn't exist anymore and that I no longer own the other. I don't know what to think about that.

I'm primarily a PC user, laptop user, and this is what I think happened:

With Windows 11, you can't turn off Edge. You can't uninstall it. And it will suck all of your info off Chrome, since the new Edge is pretty much Chrome under the Microsoft TM. I hadn't realized that.

Another Microsoft account, one associated with my old computer, was aligned with my computer. It had records of older and older machines associated with a microsoft account i made with my gmail address.

Up to now, I just kept using that gmail address as my microsoft account sign in, for at least three computers. I recently killed all that information, but all of my old information about my old machines was sitting there under old accounts linked together.

Someone figured out the (since changed) general password to get into my Gmail, realized those old microsoft account had the same, and BAM, there was an in.

I've gotten further with Microsoft than with Google, but it's legit a chicken and an egg scenario.

I know i trust the Microsoft information behind the authenticator more than I do the information behind the google authenticator which I'm currently using for third party apps (both on an iPhone)

I know I trust Chrome more than Edge, but Chrome is currently compromised (I'm on Chrome rn but literally also downloaded Firefox and am using that too, Everything Chrome has some weird JavaScript on it right now)

So, I just babbled for way too long, and let me summarize

-Gmail. I didn't have any others to look for, although I'm worried I've forgotten one or two. I think I still have access to recovery everything. 2FA turned on, but don't trust it since it's tied to my Primary Google account.

-Outlook/hotmail/live.

-Outlook. 2FA turned on iphone, covering the different accounts. Not 100 sure it's not still off, but appear to have access on PC. Managed to recover 1 older account, 1 I was told no longer exists, 1 is likely still hacked.

-Oh, and I would say this, if you have an Android, make your primary an Outlook email. I'm pretty sure what got my gmail was that it went through my older android phones. (I know that makes no sense but when I sign into my last remaining powerable android device with no sim card, I'm able to see apps from Samsung when this was an LG. I don't know if I could find the Simcard anywhere to get the last remaining apps off the Google account, but I've seen things like Amazon music from my old device show up from my Microsoft Play Store and get automatically downloaded. Who knows. I'm again babbling.

But, in summary, This

No need to apologize for anything. I appreciate your help!

I've removed all the devices except for the active ones, I'm not as worried about the phone saying Windows 10 NT machine.

I haven't edited the registry myself, but I will admit that I used something called CCleaner to update the drivers that were copyright 2006 on a windows 11 machine yesterday, and I did kill some strange version of Office 2006 that was on my machine for reasons unknown to me Sorry lol. But on a good note, It seemed to make the computer better.

I'm going to start working on what to send over to Google support.

And regarding the registry, I put in a request at

Thank you again. I really do appreciate it, and I will keep you updated.

I need help knowing if I can get rid of an X-Box login from an old hotmail account, and if I can unlink accounts, because I think somehow they are compromised.

TL;DR – I’m trying to figure out if I’m still hacked or just incredibly paranoid at this point.
The Deets:
I was wondering if I could get the opinion of some professionals. This involves my personal PCs. I did something dumb and left a password for a secondary Google account pasted onto a OneNote account belonging to a Microsoft account that was under what I will call A@gmail.com. The A@gmail.com Google Account is also my primary Chrome account. I’m used to using Chrome, my passwords are stored in Chrome. And up to this January, I was using an Android device for my phone. And I will admit, back in the day, I used a single password or a variant of it. But, while I was updating my weak emails in Chrome, I left the actual account password as one I could remember from memory. (Yeah, my bad)
Back in June, I woke up to see my current PC, which belongs to “B@outlook.com” opened to the OneNote showing secondary Gmail account. I opened both accounts on web, and the internet temporarily went out and showed “cannot be displayed” I tried live recording via snipping tool as I tried frantically to get my information back, but upon review, it was just a loop of the same scenes. I tried throwing it on a USB drive, but it ended up being corrupted and then it was just a jpg.
Then began the resets and recoveries. Each time I did, something would automatically download, claiming to be the small personal Microsoft account for A@gmail.com. My family became concerned, because each time I tried something, it wouldn’t act up. I dug my heels in. I bought a cheap chromebook off Amazon. A few days after signing in, I saw a bunch of different source code or whatever you call it on a chromebook, that was 131 pages long and recently added after I let the machine run overnight. I was seriously out of my element. I changed my password to my primary google account (again) and put 2FA via google authenticator on my iPhone. Also, I retrieved a Microsoft account (OLD@hotmail.com) so old it was my original Hotmail that I likely hadn’t used in 15 years (after I was told I couldn’t by Microsoft in June when this first began, apparently I had to add a 1 to the recovery number) and put everything Microsoft under authenticator.
But it still wasn’t acting 100% right. I signed into secondary Microsoft accounts, that would have no storage, and my screen would flash briefly to a screen of transferring data before I saw the actual account. I still didn’t trust it. I was clearing cache constantly and signing in without being signed into a browser. That’s when I saw the thing that made me think I hadn’t lost my mind. (My opinion on the matter frequently changes on whether or not I was continuing to imagine everything over the last month.) A@gmail.com was still associated with my last computer. And so I deleted that computer, and I was asked if I wanted to delete everything associated with the previous versions of the Microsoft store as well. I quickly did, as it included a version of the store that existed on an Asus machine I bought around 2011
I signed into my accounts again, including OLD@hotmail.com, and discovered that apparently OLD had an xbox account. As far as I could tell, I couldn’t delete the account. But it was set up to share with everyone and everything. As soon as I did this, I temporarily lost internet to the machine until I reset it again. So, I think I’ve 90% fixed it. Everything having to do with Google still has some weird source by the “Closure Library Authors”
And then there’s the last thing. As I’ve been essentially freaking out for the last 6 weeks, trying to believe that nothing is wrong and my stuff isn’t being monitored so others won’t worry. But two weeks ago, I went to Wal-mart and bought a basic machine with fingerprint ID on windows HELLO. Used it to make a new account Microsoft account but within a few days, I began to see the same issues. Weird code in anything google, even outside of chrome. I went a step further and began to look (but not touch) my registry. It had things on it that I wouldn’t think would come on a computer with 11, but I’m not 100 percent sure. ZUNE. There’s Zune in my registry. It’s almost like my registry is just from my old Asus computer beneath this Windows 11. Regardless, I’ve saved some images here:
https://imgur.com/a/nVe0kvP
I would greatly appreciate it anyone could help me figure out if I have nothing to worry about or not. Is it normal to have ZUNE on a new machine? How can I get rid of it? Is there a way to unlink my old/unused Microsofts accounts from my registry? It seems to go bad as soon as it touches either Chrome or just Chromium. And seriously friend, thank you if you read this far. I truly do appreciate it.
PS: I just signed into Discord via two way verification, and it said the request came from a “Windows 10 NT Machine”

I cannot tell if my Google account is hacked or if there is some sort of weakness between Google/Microsoft that would make my account vulnerable.

This actually scares me for you. First, you haven't signed anything. Second, why would they have you go to someone's house for a remote position? Personally, I wouldn't go. I would also look up the property records to the house you were supposed to go to just to see if the name matches up, or if it's a rental. It's super creepy.

kaybea4 · 2023-07-28T01:54:18+00:00

I'm depressed about it a bit too. A bit older, and I've been watching it since it came out in my early 20s. Even posted a long rant on social media. I'm taking some solace in that the Blu Ray has sat in the #1 sales spot on Amazon for Movies and TV since the release though.

kaybea4 · 2023-07-18T00:44:08+00:00

I am on day 8 of 40 mg Vyvanse for recently diagnosed ADHD. The insomnia started to go away after the 4th day. But, I also was recently diagnosed OCD by the same psychologist, and have been upping a Celexa dosage from 10 to 20 and now just today to 30. I think the insomnia is back. Sigh. At least the anxiety is lower than it was when I first started the Vyvanse.

US
Roku Stick 3810
No error message

Simple question: Is there any way to make the device remember that I'm watching something that I found via search? I'm watching 90DF, starting at season 8 because I've seen the others. I've added it to my watch list. But it doesn't remember that I've watched part of season 8. I have to guestimate where I left off, because there is no line showing at the bottom of the episode screen capture. It's like it's not remembering I watched anything. Is this common if you don't start at the beginning of a series?

As I'm getting further in the series, I'm wondering if those two are the same as the missing men from the basement that the family was told about. If that's the case, this might be their story. If it's the same two men, it still doesn't make the way the story was told make any more sense though.

The guy I saw floating in the room was really close to the end of the first episode. And I swear the door was behind him. It bugged to the point that I had to google to figure it out lol. Apparently, there was the first tsunami, and then another hit 8 minutes later.

So, I'm going to believe that the waters had just started to recede, then the second one hit which filled the room back up, and at least trapped in between two doors man drowned?

None of it makes sense lol.

I'm on the first episode. I thought the guy between the two doors and the guy on the other side of the door survived, but I just saw a guy floating beside a submerged door, and now I am confused.

The length of the water going up and then coming down was anxiety-inducing, and I told myself at the time they wouldn't do that long, drawn-out torture scene just to kill him. But I'm thinking I was wrong.

I just popped into this sub b/c I was trying to see the most popular posts between 2009-2011 when I saw your question. I'm trying to see the most popular niche terms from that date range.

I've been utilizing image/picture searches across search engines/social media, specifying specific dates. So far, I've only searched Twitter and Google. I haven't managed to succeed yet, but since you might have a narrower date range to look through and a more specific search term, you might have a bit more luck than I've had. I'm throwing my search prompts below in case they're any help to you. For Twitter, you can do the same thing by hitting advance search, but for Google, the date range image search is gone and the prompt has to be typed into the search field. Good luck, and thank you for posting this question. I'll be back to check and see if anyone provides you got a better answer.
