A New Member Problem

Post by J1MGOLDEN » Thu Dec 14, 2023 9:18 am

Jeremy W. is a new member that I am helping to get his T running and get him on the MTFCA Forum.

He claims it will not let him create an account.

Could it be the proton AT me server that he is using for a free encryption service is in Africa is the problem?

My computer locked up after I did a search for more information on this company.

Jeff is checking on the problem.

While my computer has been hacked in the past, I am very careful about what I Click on.

What I was in hopes of finding was someone else telling me they use that FREE service.

Then too, with the cost of setting up and maintaining a Server would make most people wonder why it is free.

I do not think it is free!

Jeff did not tell me and I have not seen an update, but I ran C C Cleaner and got rid of a lot of stuff.

Part of the problem was two Microsoft updates that were taking a long time to receive, install and they involved some patience, more than I had!.

The other part of the problem was I did not know that USA corporations also often use a Server located in some other country to avoid many USA regulations.

Spammers like those arrangements as it is easier to get away with their plans.
