Get Rid Of AVG Secure Search

Customer -

How do I get rid AVG.Secure Search, which Google Chrome uses as my default browser? I want a different browser, preferably IE 9 or even the yucky AOL. AVG doesn't work very well. Or is AVG Chrome's default browser. If so, how do I change the default browser setting on Chromes. I'm a techno-peasant.

How to Get Printer Ink Out of Carpet

If you have printer ink stained on your carpet I bet you know how much of a pain it is to clean. Chances are you have tried everything you can think of to remove it and no cleaner has worked. Well I will tell you exactly how to clean it in this article.

  1. Go to the store and buy a bottle of white vinegar and some sodium bicarbonate. Make sure you have a little time and a cloth ready.
  2. Pour a little vinegar on the stain and then wait about 5 seconds then pour a little of the sodium bicarbonate on the same spot. Do not pour to much as it is going to fizz up.
  3. Take the cloth and Dab at the stain. Do this until most if not all of the vinegar and sodium bicarbonate is soaked up. Then if the stain is still there repeat the process until it is completely removed.
    • Make sure you get all the sodium bicarbonate or baking soda off of the carpet
    • Dab up as mush as you can so that the carpet does not stay wet
    • For a really clean looking carpet shampoo after this process
    • Although this works for most carpets check to make sure that your type of fabric will not be damaged by vinegar or baking soda. You do this at your own risk as some carpets can be damaged from this procedure and to find out you will need to ask your local carpet installer. If you are still uncomfortable with attempting to remove the stain in this way the carpet installer should also know a way of removing this stain. However it will most likely be a costly service from the technician of the person you call so call around to make sure you are getting the best price on the removal of the stain.

Samsung Stratosphere Wont Navigate to Contacts

CUSTOMER-

I have a Samsung Stratosphere phone and have synced my g-mail contacts to my phone. When trying to use the navigation app (also a Google product) I am given the choice of navigation using my contacts but I receive a message that says I don't have any contacts with addresses. I do have addresses in some of my contacts but the Verizon people tell me that I have to enter the address in by voice (doesn't work very well) or type in each address each time I want to navigate somewhere. I have a hard time believing that Google would not have some way of syncing my g-mail with my navigation app. Can you help me?

Dimmusacio-

Unfortunately this is a bug from the one of the map app updates. Right now the best way to do it is to open maps. Tap on directions and then choose end point. Tap on contacts and your contact list should open. Select your contact and then press navigate. You can also try updating your map app again and see if it works properly after that.
