Is your computer running slower over time.

A slow laptop combined with a dusty fan is a classic sign of thermal throttling. Dust blocks the heatsink fins (the thin metal slats), forming a felt-like "dust mat" that acts like a blanket, trapping heat inside. The CPU then lowers its speed to protect itself from overheating, resulting in severe lag.

Other common causes of a slow computer can include
• failed updates,
• file corruption
• viruses & malware
• failing storage devices.

As part of a service the health of your computer is assessed and problems identified and repaired before they cause the computer to stop working.
Some systems may also benefit from upgrading to a solid-state drive or having additional memory fitted to boost performance and prolong the life of the computer.

Amazon Alexa+ is coming soon but there are mixed reviews about it, but you can downgrade if you don’t like it.
Some users report that if you have TP Link Kasa smart plugs they will stop working.

Though Alexa+ is free for Prime members, and it's easy to go back to the original Alexa for now, users argue that Amazon should have allowed them to opt in.

Not long after browsing the Apple app store looking for a room temperature app I had a similar popup to this on my iPhone.

If you get a similar unexpected message like this do not click on any of the links or call any numbers shown, it’s a scam!

Steps to Take Immediately:
• Close the Tab: Close the browser app (Safari, Chrome, etc.) immediately.
• Clear Safari Data: Go to Settings > Apps > Safari > Clear History and Website Data.
• Force Quit Browser: If the pop-up won't go away, swipe up from the bottom of your screen to force close the browser app.
• Do Not Interact:
Never call the number, click "OK," or download "antivirus" apps, as these are designed to install real malware
• Restart iPhone: A simple restart can clear cached malicious scripts.

One of my customers who has a new computer running Windows11 and using Outlook Classic has been experiencing the same problem for the last two days.
They brought their computer in today for repair and Outlook kept hanging after a few minutes. I checked their settings and they are using IMAP. I removed the update mentioned in the article (which was installed 2 days ago when the problem started) and guess what, Outlook no longer hangs. So, this means that this bug also affects some IMAP setups as well!

Microsoft confirmed that the KB5074109 January Windows 11 security update causes the classic Outlook desktop client to freeze and hang for users with POP email accounts.
