Hi, Peter :-) 

Chris mentioned the Adobe Acrobat plugin; 
this is used to view PDF files within the browser; 
has nothing to do with the Adobe Flash plugin, 
that your linked article speaks about...
Adobe Acrobat plugin is installed in your system 
along the free Adobe Reader (now renamed 
Adobe Acrobat Reader DC) or the pricy Adobe 
Acrobat Pro application - Google Chrome 
comes with its own internal "Chrome PDF Viewer", 
so the best practice is to disable one of the two 
via chrome://plugins/ in Google Chrome.

Just a clarification!
As far as the built-in Adobe Pepper Flash 
plugin in Chrome is concerned, its days are 
numbered as the Google team plans to ditch it 
altogether in favour of HTML5!


Many cheers, 
V.

AV software is not needed if you are sensible. I have none installed on any 
PC and all are clean. I do a weekly scan with malwarebytes and if it finds 
anything it is invariably a pup. Monthly I run an online housecall or 
bitdefender scan - never found anything.

Scanning incoming email is not necessary either - even Microsoft has stated 
this.

partialproxy - tv only?

[Arthur Murray]

Is there a way to use a proxy only for TV and not for Radio?
partialproxy still uses a proxy for radio or podcasts (mediaselector)
when it doesn't seem to be necessary.

Re: ERROR: Failed to get version pid metadata from iplayer site (SOLVED)

[Xavier Llamas]

Hi,

After reading the 2.94 release notes (which I should have done from the 
beginning) I figured the problem is the missing XML::Simple module, I 
tried reinstalling it and noticed that the installation failed due to an 
error in a test of one of its dependencies so I forced the installation 
and every thing is working now:


  perl -MCPAN -e shell
  cpan> force install XML::Simple

Regards,
Xavier Llamas.

Re: Localhost not starting up ...

msmpeng.exe goes mad occasionally consuming 100% cpu, usually after scanning 
the entire hard disc. A quick reboot of the machine fixes it without 
compromising security. Your fix leaves you wide open, you have disabled your 
virus scanner unless you have others running. But that would mean you would 
have had multiple running previously, which isn't a good idea either.

Re: Localhost not starting up ...

[CJB]

Thank you for the links. Yes - it was a resources issue. Now Gip
flies, and other web pages open up immediately.

There were two culprits - hogging 100% of the cpu - that I've now got rid of.

Using Task manager and Resource Manager the hogs were:

1/ msmpeng.exe - an anti-malware executable from MSE or MS Defender.
Using MSConfig this has now been disabled - never to be restarted; and

2/ an Abode Acrobat plugin for Chrome - two versions of which were
running and both hogging 100% of the cpu. These have now been closed
down.

No wonder nothing else ojuld run, the above apps were causing the cpu
to remain at 100%, with a huge amount of disk accessing which I
presume was the swap file paging.

Now all is well - and I can even download Springwatch!!!

CJB.
