Q: If your web browsers are running slow, or your plagued with pop-ups, advertisements, and toolbars, you may have an adware infection. Adware is unwanted software that is designed to hijack your web browser, leading you to different searches and littering your browser with ads. The first step towards removing these infections is by uninstalling unknown programs through the Control Panel. The process varies a little depending on your version of Windows: Windows 10 and 8 - Right-click on the Windows button and select "Control Panel." Windows 7, Vista, and XP - Click the Start button and select "Control Panel" from the Start menu. This will display a list of all of the programs installed on your computer. You can sort the list by install date, which can help you find programs that may have been installed recently without your knowledge. Go through each program on the list and make note of the ones you don't recognize. Perform a web search for each unrecognized entry to determine if it is an unwanted program. Follow the prompts to remove the program from your system. Repeat for any additional programs that you want to remove. This would be a good time to remove programs that you do recognize, but no longer need. Old games, unused browsers, utilities that you used once and then never used again, and other legitimate programs can add to your computer's bloat. Remove them to free up some space and potentially speed up your computer's start-up time. This is a free utility that will scan for common adware and malware, and then remove what it finds.

You can then click the "Download Free Version" button. Run the installer after downloading it to install the program. Launch Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and download any updates if prompted to. Start a scan of your computer, which may take 20-30 minutes. Remove anything that the scan finds by clicking "Quarantine All" after the scan has completed. Many adware infections will add links to your browser shortcuts, which will cause the wrong website to load even after removing the infection. A free shortcut cleaner created by the anti-malware community can scan all of your shortcuts and remove malicious links. You can download the scanner here. Run the downloaded program to quickly scan and fix your browser shortcuts. Your web browsers may still have lingering remnants of the malware removed by the scanners.

Click the "Advanced" tab and click "Reset." Check the "Delete personal settings" box and click "Reset." Chrome - Click the Chrome Menu button and select "Settings." Click "Show advanced settings" and then scroll to the bottom. Click "Reset settings" and then click "Reset." Firefox - Click the Firefox Menu button and then click "?". Select "Troubleshooting Information" and then click "Refresh Firefox." Click "Refresh Firefox" again to confirm. After you're finished cleaning and resetting your shortcuts and browsers, you should reboot your computer and run both scans again. There may still be lingering traces that show up again after a reboot.

Q: Newborn and young puppies are very delicate. Handle them with care. Puppies can't see or hear very well before they're a few weeks old, so picking them up and holding them may make them nervous or fussy. Never pick up a puppy by its tail! Slide your hand under as much of the body as possible to offer the best support as you pick up the puppy. Handle puppies as little as possible during their first two weeks after birth. Over-handling them could upset the mother dog or harm the puppies. If possible, wait until the puppies are at least 3-4 weeks old before trying to determine their sex. They will have had enough time to bond with their mother and develop a bit by then. Lay the puppy in your hands on its back, with its paws in the air. Make sure you support the puppy's whole body with your hands so you don't stress their spine. Don't squeeze the puppy. It may be easier if you have someone else hold the puppy so you can do the visual inspection. You can also rest them on their backs on a warm towel spread on a table. This will help keep the puppy warm. Newborn puppies cannot maintain their own body temperature for several weeks after they're born. They can take a chill very easily. Don't hold the puppy away from its mother longer than is necessary. 5-10 minutes should be the limit for handling young puppies. Use a heating pad or hot water bottle wrapped in a towel in the puppy's bed to help keep it warm. If the puppy shows signs of distress, such as squalling or squirming, put the puppy back with its mother immediately. The mother may also become distressed if she isn't used to you handling her pups. If you notice signs of her getting distressed, such as barking at you, put the puppy back with the mother.
A: Pick up the puppy gently. Hold the puppy in cupped hands. Work quickly. Observe any distress.

Q: After the mixture has melted together but before you put it into its containers, stir in several drops of your favorite essential oil. Try out these scents: Peppermint for a fresh, vibrant scent. Orange or lime for a burst of citrus. Lavender for a calming, soothing scent. Start by adding 1/2 teaspoon (2 grams) of glitter to the melted gloss before it has been put into containers. If you want more, add an additional 1/2 teaspoon (2 grams). Mix it in thoroughly, and then pour the gloss into the containers. To be safe, avoid using craft glitter. Cosmetic-grade glitter is made to come into contact with your skin, and it isn't harmful if it gets accidentally ingested.
A:
Make your lipgloss scented by adding in 3 to 4 drops of essential oils. Create a sparkly gloss by adding glitter into the mixture.
