Paint 3D Uninstall

How to uninstall Paint 3D on Windows 10

Paint 3D is a Microsoft Default picture viewer and editor on Microsoft Windows 10. Unfortunately, it is very slow. Most users will want to view pictures in the traditional and super fast Microsoft Program Called ‘Picture’ or MS Picture Viewer. The best way to remove this app is to use PowerShell.

To remove Paint 3D from Windows 10, you must do the following steps:

  1. Open Start.
  2. Type PowerShell, right-click the result, and select Run as administrator.
  3. Type the following command to force Windows to uninstall Paint 3D from your computer and press Enter: Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.MSPaint | Remove-AppxPackage

After executing the PowrShell command Paint 3D will be removed from Windows 10.

**If you receive an error, please double check the command, or you’re running PowerShell as a standard user. You will need to right click PowerShell and click “Run as admin.”

Let’s Encrypt

Let’s Encrypt is a free open-source SSL Certificate.  Let’s Encrypt provides X.509 certificates for Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption at no charge. The certificate must be renewed every 90 days. Some web hosts offer a script that will automatically renew and upload the Let’s Encrypt certificate on your server.

Let’s Encrypt is sponsored by Facebook, Chrome, Cisco, OVH and many other technology companies. The certs given out by Let’s Encrypt are great for personal use. Blogs, Family Tree Websites and many other websites will benefit from this zero cost SSL.

Even though Let’s Encrypt is widely accepted, it should not be used on a business or corporate website for many reasons.

If you are using Let’s Encrypt for SEO purposes it will give you a large boost for a blog, a hometown or hobby website. For a business, Let’s Encrypt will not help you. For one there is no true verification of ownership of domain. You just need access to DNS. Google looks at a website as a whole. Does the website have good markup. Does the website have authority links. Does the website have a legal disclaimer. Does the website have a valid SSL certificate. No large corporation will use Let’s Encrypt as their SSL Certificate.

Don’t believe me, go check for yourself. Even the companies sponsoring Let’s Encrypt, won’t actually use Let’s Encrypt on their business websites.

Do not use Let’s Encrypt on your page and expect to rank higher than your competitors who use official SSL Certificates.

2019 Virus Threats

2019 will be a horrible year for virii (computer viruses).

Polymorphic Viruses will hit iPhone (ios) and Android pretty hard. The Russians and Chinese are deploying thousands of new viruses each year.

A virus does not necessarily have to install itself on the device anymore. According to an FBI report, the latest Russian virus embeds itself into the edge router device of your home. This polymorphic virus (Russian VPNFilter) can then steal data from any device connected.

I HIGHLY recommend all computer and smartphone users to download Malwayrebytes.
