Firewall in windows 10

[Midknyte]

I think you can remove all the Dell stuff. I would leave the Intel one, though.

If you're at home, then it should be connecting to a Private network. You didn't give any other details. If it's wireless, make sure you are connected to your home wifi router.

I use win 10 and it is wireless. How do I change it so it connects to the private network and make sure that I'm connected to my wifi router?

[SpywareDr]

You can use Xirrus Wi-Fi Inspector to see all available Wi-Fi connections around you.

To make sure you're connected to your Wi-Fi router, make sure you only connect to your router's Wi-Fi SSID (name that you setup) along with the Wi-Fi password that you also setup.

Thanks for that info, SpywareDr.

JDC2000, thanks for those links. I changed my network profile form public to private now. I am still unsure the difference between public and private network profiles when my wi-fi is configured that it can't be used my neighbor/outsiders.

Midknyte, I just uninstalled all the Dell listings that were listed in my attachment using geek uninstaller. Right afterwards, I went to run TFC program, and it gives me a blue screen stating something like "...your pc ran into a problem and needs to restart etc...", then it reboots. I tried twice with same results. I wonder why I am getting that massage when trying to run TFC after uninstalling those Dell components.

[Midknyte]

I'm not sure about TFC, but did you reboot after you uninstalled the Dell apps?

[JLS]

No, I didn't reboot immediately after uninstalling them because it did not prompt/require an immediate reboot.

[Midknyte]

Even if you aren't prompted, it's a good idea to reboot after uninstalling apps.

[JLS]

I did eventually reboot and tried to run TFC right after the reboot and it still gave me the same error message. Should I uninstall/reinstall TFC?

[Midknyte]

I wouldn't run TFC on Win10, so you might as well just uninstall it. Note the author's warning:

Please note TFC is not suitable for use on Windows 8.1 or 10

Wow, I see that. I didn't know that it wasn't win 10 compatible. I am going to uninstall it. I have used it when I was using win xp and is suppose to be a good program that deletes files that ccleaner doesn't delete. In addition to using ccleaner, what would be a good alternative to TFC that is win 10 compatible?

[Midknyte]

Ccleaner is enough to me. I'm not sure what else you'd need to clear out. You might want to review which CCleaner settings you are using. Maybe you can add some options to the default.

[JLS]

What ccleaner settings could you suggest that would be best for me to change?

[SpywareDr]

Exactly what shows up in Ccleaner depends on what programs you have installed on your computer. If you don't want to go through all of the ones that show up on your computer, the defaults are safe to use. From there you can make a decision about whether you want to alter what you see.
