AWKWARD ZOMBIE

My phone broke and I need to buy a new one, but I don't know what to buy. I don't care much for what model I get, except that it musn't cost more than 200€ and it must be able to run the latest android version.

Moto G 2014 is what often gets recommended in that price range.

I accidentally mistyped a website name and I just got some major adware or something. Words are randomly highlighted and pop-up ads keep appearing from them. I can't find any suspicious programs. Can anybody show me some free malware software or antivirus? I know I've had one, but I don't remember the name.

Malwarebytes Anti-Malware is reliable.

Sounds like it put some sort of add-on to your browser, check your add-ons/extensions to see if you can disable it.

I think that's it. It might not have been the site because I've seen this before after my brother gets on. Nuked it, ads are gone. Thanks.

A friend wants me to help him build a PC. I picked out the parts for him, but I'm not sure entirely how I did.

Any suggestions/bottlenecks or anything there? His budget is ~$1,200. Also, I noticed the keyboard came with a mouse, I just haven't deleted the mouse I chose from the list yet.

Nothing bad there that strikes my eye. You could go with an i5-4460 instead, that's the updated version that's a tiny bit faster.

Edit: that's a micro-ATX board. Pick a regular ATX one.

Ah alright. I don't know a lot about motherboards so I figured I'd screw up there.

Alright, I swapped out the CPU and motherboard. I also got rid of windows because my friend said he had a copy. How is it now? The link should be the same. Also, would I need to include a CPU cooler?

I'd say that motherboard is a bit overkill, actually. A lot of the features found in motherboards priced $150 and up have to do with overclocking and better connectivity. Seeing as you can't overclock the i5-4460 (you need an i5-4690K for that, thank Intel) I'd say you could swap it out for a cheaper one. I would recommend grabbing a cheap aftermarket cooler like the CM Hyper 212 Evo. Intel's stock coolers are best described as 'adequate' - that is, a processor running at stock won't overheat (it'll only reach the 80C range or so - Haswell runs hot, despite the low power draw), and it'll be LOUD.

Hey guys, I just got a PS3, and it turns out this thing's just begging to be used on a widescreen, I don't have one of those, and I want to get one so I don't have to stretch the game out and cut off the sides(which hurts in Kingdom Hearts, where the health and commands are on the sides...)

If anyone knows some cheap ones that'll get the job done, then I'm game, I don't want any of these fancy new smart tv's, I just wanna play on my PS3 without pixelation out the booty.

There are probably options in the system's settings to make it fit your current monitor. Personally, though, I think a widescreen display is worth it for gaming.

Your options are either a 1080p monitor or a cheap 720p television, I reckon. A TV will be easier to find, since they don't really sell TVs that won't cover everything a PS3 needs these days.

If you want a monitor, it's a bit trickier. The PS3 uses HDMI primarily, and this will play best with most monitors. The biggest thing to keep in mind is that HDMI carries audio, so unless you have a sound system that'll use the optical audio port, you'll need a monitor that'll deal with your audio in some way.
Your options are built-in speakers or auxiliary out. Built-in will sound a bit like crap; auxiliary out will be harder to find.

Personally, I'd recommend a monitor. Image quality tends to be better in monitors, because they're made for displaying fine text. The problem is that monitors that handle audio can be a bit hard to find. I was surprised to find this out, but even 720p TVs are more expensive than cheaper 1080p monitors.

To cover every base, this doesn't have any glaring issues that I can see. It's got HDMI, speakers, and what appears to be audio out so that you can hook up some nicer speakers. It's not top-of-the-line or anything, but it's fairly standard and will do you well. If you shop around a bit, of course, any questions can be gladly answered.

The college I'm going to be going to next year requires me to have a tablet. Any of you know of any tablets with an i5 processer, 4 gb of RAM, and 256 GB HDD (or 128 GB SSD), and Integrated Wacom, N-trig or S Pen active stylus that supports digital inking (not really sure what that is to be honest...never been a huge fan of touch screen stuff)? I guess price isn't a huge factor since I'll be buying it with a loan anyway, but I'd like it to not cost a fortune.

Hey, what do you know! I'm typing this response up on a device that fits all of those requirements to a tee. Give Microsoft's Surface Pro line a look.

I'm using a Surface Pro 3, and it's very nice, but to lower the cost you probably want a Surface Pro 1. You can find them for about $600, plus some for the keyboard. The disadvantage with the original (or the second iteration) is mostly just the smaller screen and the clumsier kickstand - I've heard they have superior pens, though. The Surface Pro 3 that'll meet your given specs is $1000+, so the bigger screen probably isn't worth it to you.
If you find a surface that doesn't say 'Pro,' avoid it. It won't include the digitizer, won't have an i5, and will basically just be a shitty iPad. Surface Pros are legitimate laptops that just happen to not have keyboards.

You can look into other options, too. I've heard that Lenovo has some good offerings, but I'm not familiar with them. I know the Samsung XT-500 has a digitizer, but you need to go into more expensive models to get the i5 processor your school is requiring. Of course, anything you find, you should check carefully to make sure it has the specs you need.

What college are you going to? Is it an art school? The digitizer is an odd requirement.

I've heard a lot about the Surface Pro, and the school's website actually recommends it, so yea I'll probably get that. I was just asking here because I thought maybe the Surface Pro was like Alienware (you know, paying for the name and not the hardware) so it's good to know it's actually a good product. I'll probably go with the Surface Pro 2, unless something better and more cost efficient comes out between now and this summer when I'll be actually buying it.

I'm going to the University of Louisville to be a Computer Engineering/Science major. Not a great school, but not a bad one either. Probably the best in the state for engineering (The University of Kentucky might be a bit better, but I didn't really like it when I took a tour of the place). Not really sure why they require the digitizer, but I'm not going to question it. Also, they said I could just get a laptop that meets the requirements and then get a companion tablet, but it'd be cheaper for me to just get the tablet.
