DoctorLaptop’s Tips #50 29Mar16

Avast AntiVirus Users Receive A Useful Free Gift With Latest Updates
It is called Avast SafeZone, a high security web browser for safe banking and shopping. Look on your Desktop or program list for it. It is based on Chrome browser, but stripped-down and hardened for extra secutity.SafeZone also has these handy features:
-When you visit a financial site, it switches into the extra-secure Pay Mode. You can also click a toolbar icon when SafeZone is open to manually turn Pay Mode on. This mode isolates the browser to block malware and hackers.
-Secure DNS automatically protects you against network hijackers.
-AdBlock Plus. If an ad you don’t trust still manages to get through you can right-click it and choose Block Element to safely close it.
-An easy video download tool. Open a YouTube video, a download arrow will appear above it. Click the arrow to download the video to your Downloads folder.
-SafeZone’s SafePrice feature kicks in when you select an item on a shopping site. A toolbar slides in at the top of the webpage with information about prices at other sites, and a notification if SafePrice found a lower price.
-Closing note: Remember to set up a Scheduled Scan in Scan Settings whenever installing a fresh antivirus program. Most do not do this by default.
Microsoft has begun showing uninvited adverts on the Windows 10 lock screen. You can block them. Go to Settings, Personalization, and then Lock Screen. There’s a box that reads “Get fun facts, tips, tricks, and more on your lock screen.” Move the slider to the off position.
Reminder: Only 2 weeks remain on my 30EUR Clean and Tuneup Special for all laptops.

Driving with a dog from Spain to UK via Calais – advice please

I’d be grateful if someone could talk me through what is needed for taking a dog back from Spain to the UK.

I’ve adopted a dog here through one of the local animal charities and he has his Spanish pet passport, which I believe is up-to-date. I’ll be driving my own car, through Spain and France, with ferry from Calais to Dover.

My sticking point is that his chip is still registered to his deceased owner and the process to transfer this to me will take longer than I’m able to remain in Spain. (Spanish vets are refusing to transfer his chip registration to me, even with the charity adoption papers, and the registro RAIA needs to write to the deceased owner…(!))
My plan was to see a vet in France before the ferry crossing for the required “check” before travel, and I need to know if it’s an issue that his chip is not registered to me, and I don’t have a letter of authority (from his deceased owner…) to transport him..? Do French vets even have access to the Spanish Registro RAIA?

Also, any thoughts on the better ferry company, DFDS or P&O, for travelling with a dog?

Many thanks,

Nikki

Response… Car Importation Recommendation

The person that made an amazingly good job of registering my Classic Mercedes Benz import form USA is William (contact details: gandiacorp @ hotmail.com and comes seriously, highly recommended. Any questions, just ask, regards, John.

Recommendation- Gas Repairs

Placido Roman Ortega in Torre del Mar. Email: fontagas at gmail dot com.

Speaks only Spanish, but is punctual and helpful.

By the way: is the hot water supply unstable?

Try turning down the water supply to the heater, using the lower botton

(turn all the way clockwise) – if you have got the same type as us (Cointra Godesia). Does not sound logical, but perhaps it will work. Birgit

Recommendation-

I want to recommend the garden of the Costa Torrox Garden Center

It is totally natural and the vegetables have a lot of flavour.

If you wish – they cut what you choose and you take it to you.

This is near to Lidl Torrox Costa

Have you tried the shop opposite the older Mercadona on Calle Pescia? They have lots of bits and bobs like parts for computers, etc.

Good luck.

Response / Water Services

Ref : Water service

If the problem has not been resolved.

The valve that was replaced. was it a foot valve?

is the pump you refer too the domestic pump from the deposito to the property ? or a pump filling the deposito?

if it is a pump refilling the deposito ? it could be a float switch sticking.

That would make sense from your description.

TAIL Torrox Wonderful Help from & for Volunteers !!

Following the increase in overseas volunteers coming to help at the Tail Refuge, for whom we have to provide accommodation, we were thrilled to acquire at an advantageous price (and with thanks to Tail Buddies for their €700 donation to part fund) a good condition caravan. This was collected by John & Alex (Men with Vans – 602 438 130 / 636 121 289) from Almayate and towed into position yesterday. We wish to put on record our Charity’s thanks for their goodwill and help. Tail appreciates all the help it receives, be it from volunteers undertaking work in the Refuge or the shops, or from donations received. Now might be a good time to let all know that the Junta’s official vet for this region recently called Tail’s Refuge “probably one of the cleanest in Andalucía”. We try…… we try very hard.

Help to Home Tina

Help needed to home “Tina” as it is with regret I will be returning to UK early June into residential care.

“Tina” is a 10 year old, fully vaccinated, micro chipped and spayed Spanish Terrier Mix. Tina was rescued into my home when she was 3 months old.

I very much hope and pray someone could care for her,

Tina is a loving, happy well trained dog.

She is very good with other dogs and cats.

Tina would make an Ideal companion for an older person, or as a friend to another dog.

Please if you can help, email m.squires762 @ gmail (dot) com

DigameXtra No. 194 for Saturday, 26th March 2016

Lost- Missing

This beauty adopted us years ago in Torrox Campo. He is now missing since a week ago. He is a very timid and silent boy, who does not like to ride a car.

Anyone who can give us information about his whereabouts can count on a reward. Just contact Riverman on 692 354 888 or erland @ Archipelago.se

Opinion – Timing of announcements

It’s a shame that a lot of items in Digamextra are appearing too late to be of any use. Perhaps Jane could let people know the deadline for publishing, and organizers could send in details of events in time for people to plan to attend.

Reading in the morning that an event is on the same day is a bit too late for making plans. Carol C.

Kind regards, John.

Responses – Driving Licences-

I can’t advise about car hire in Torrox but I have experienced the problems of the demise of Part B – the paper licence. When the UK got rid of them I scanned mine and then shredded the original . You can prove whether you have any points by going to the DVLA website and entering your licence number and your National Insurance number to get a print-out. You can also get a code that you can give to a car hire company so they can check your details. It works just once and has a limited period of validity. I have had enormous problems with Trafico though. When applying for a Spanish licence they demanded the original Part B, they wouldn’t accept a copy, a print out or the code. I had to get a denuncio to say I had lost my Part B and they then wrote to the DVLA to confirm my details. The DVLA took the attitude of “they can check on-line”. It’s 5 months since my application and my solicitor tells me that my documents have gone to the department that prints the cards, but I still haven’t received it. Vic

Responses-Back Bacon

(1) Ian, you will find at least two types of back bacon in Supersol at Torrox Costa. Go past the bread and veg. section and there is a fridge on the right and there are quite a few different bacons.Hope you find it as tasty as the one from Lidl. We have found that as soon as we find something we like there they discontinue it! Peggy

(2) I suggest that Ian visits Mercadona in Algarrobo Costa, where he will
find English back bacon
( not frozen and in packs) on the shelf opposite the counter where
they carve up various Spanish hams and sausages to order. I noticed
it there recently as I was buying Mercadona’s own streaky, which we
always use because it is much tastier than the English back, and has
less water content. It is probably the same in other Mercadona
stores, but not having visited them recently I can’t be sure. Happy
Breakfasts, Ian !!
Anyone know of supermercados selling hot crosss buns?
Jeremy

Recommendation- Removal Services

Zaff maxwell took my sons motor bike, some furniture and other things to UK for me. All arrived in the same condition as it left here in 2 days.
He had to go out of his way to get to Hunstanton at no extra cost.
Well pleased with the service. No problem
Many thanks Zaff. His phone number is. 634342947

Recommendation- Interpreter

A bouquet to interpreter Pamela Walshe who stayed with me all day 10 hours in fact at Urgencias. Her patience and helpfulness is second to none, I have no hesitation in recommending her. She is a star.
Jean R

Recommendation – Car Hire

Hi to the person wishing to hire a car Torrox costar area ..look no further than Auto´s 2000 Torrox .I´m always pleased to recommend them ..Efficient and well priced ..The office lady is German ,but speaks better English than a lot of English people I know !! Google them for web and phone no ..

Registering with Hacienda in Malaga/ Form 030

Can anyone tell me what’s involved with registering with the Hacienda in Malaga, a form 030? Can I just show up and do it or do I need a set appointment? And info on what I need to bring with me? Apparently I need to take care of this now, as I’m importing my car and the customs office is going to expect me to be registered. (At least that’s what my agent tells me.)

Would really appreciate any info. Responses directly to me at macnmum AT gmail.com or to Digamextra for everyone’s benefit. Thanks!

A bit more information on ”desperate dog

We have had this beautiful dog in foster care for the past few days but unfortunately we cannot adopt him at the moment and he desperately needs a permanent home.

He is the gentlest dog one can imagine. We reckon he is about one year old and still very playful. He is walking well on a leash. I have walked him on trails and he learned within two days to walk beside me or behind me.

Newly neutered will reduce his problem with other male dogs and refocus on his owner. He is very intelligent and learns fast. Loves to be close to his owner and jumps into the car and lays down without any problem. He loves to explore and is curious about everything. He needs to be trained on basic commands, which we do not conceive as any problem. He is a large and strong dog, so he needs a firm but loving hand. With lots of love and cuddles and a bit of guidance, you will have a great friend for life.

If you want to know more about the dog you can contact me: Lars 642147155. For adoption please contact Nina on 660586040.

Responses – Hearing Aid Batteries

In reply to your request I bought some from the optician hearing aid shop in Nerja opposite the garage on Avenida Pescis

You can buy on line at a much lower price from HAB in Keighley West Yorkshire They will post to you.

The make I bought in Nerja was Rayovac 10 euros for 6 batteries from HAB I get 60 for £17.

Hope this helps. Val

Responses to Ad – Hairdresser Needed

Further to the ad on today’s Digame I can highly recommend the hairdresser Angela at ‘Bella’. I have been lucky enough to have her as my stylist since moving to Torrox Costa a year ago and I have found her to be second to none in attention to detail and in listening to what I want

Her prices are so reasonable too.

She is fluent in Spanish and English and copes well with clients who speak other languages.

Situated down a ginnel (alley way ) virtually opposite Mercadona and just past the ‘Tails’ charity shop

The salon is stylish and easily reached by car or bus (bus passengers coming from the Nerja direction get off at the first stop after the main Torrox Costa layby). . May I add that I have no connection with ‘Bella’, or any of its staff, I am just a very satisfied customer. Tel 626269685.

Thanks for Advice re Smoky Fire

Thank you to Nigel and Keith for your responses to my smoky fire enquiry.
We have checked the mesh and it’s not clogged, so we are now in search of a metal cowl. Hopefully we I’ll have it all sorted in time for next winter! Sue

Recommendation – Steel Fabricator Have recently used the services of James to carry out some metal works.pleased with end result.can be contacted on 638293059.based in frigiliana but travels extensively.
Thanking you
Dave

How to Deal with a Scam

If you get a scam email, don’t just delete it, move it to your spam, if not already there, then forward it to….nfibphishing@cityof-london.pnn.police.uk then delete it.

If it is from a company, also forward it to that company using the email addresses below…. to help your fellow man! Most will reply with thanks.

If you think you have been compromised a trick to use is log in to the website address you usually use, for say your bank but input a false password. If the site is dodgy it will accept it! Then stay clear and worry!

I really don’t understand why they don’t all use ‘spoof’!

Recommendation Needed –Car body shop/resprayer
I have just had my Seat repaired and sprayed by the folk at Talleres Axarquia.
Although they took a while to complete the work as they are very busy (is that surprising in Spain??)
they did a really good job on body repairs and paint matching a 7 year old car with metallic red paint.
The shop is run by 3 family members and two speak some English.
I can thoroughly recommend them.
They are on the Poligono Industrial La Panoleta in Velez-Malaga and are open 0900 – 1800hrs
http://talleresaxarquia.es. All details are on their web site.
Good luck Roger. roger43 at gmail dot com

And Finally…… To those who responded to my request for car re-spraying services a big thank you. All I have to do now is pick one. Steve
