Will it automatically clean any existing viruses ?

Dear Andy;

Yes, Webroot will attack and quarantine viruses and malware. Do your scan and see what it finds. That's what it does best. You may also want to use Malwarebytes for a "second doctor's opinion" about the health of your machine. Combining these two forces together, hackers are not liking this much.

The 2-inch drivers deliver impressive stereo audio, and easy controls offer effortless volume control and power access. These Logitech stereo speakers are compact to fit on your desktop without taking away from full stereo function.
 

how do I connect it to my computer? Does it come with wires or do I have to buy them separately?

Dear Linda;

No, they have wires that come with. Look for two plugs on the side of your laptop or in the back of your computer. Start a CD or YouTube video--something with sound. Then turn the speakers up and wait to hear a sound. Remember, one of the two plugs is a microphone and the other is for audio. Green plugs represent audio.

Enjoy the sound,

Can these be connected to a tv?

Dear EJ:

Not many people ask this question, but I don't see why this wouldn't work. In older TV sets, you could plug in computer speakers and they would work. If you see an audio plug, go for it. The only thing that will happen is no sound.

It mentions that a CD-Rom is included for installation. I do not have a CD-Rom on my computer. Is there another way to install this on my computer without the CD-Rom?

Dear Confused26;

This is a common question. You can visit the Brother website at https://www.brother-usa.com/ for software downloads. I do this all the time. Updates happen each day, so opening the box and pulling out an older CD isn't your best bet. Download it, install, it, and enjoy.

Can you use , picture paper to print pictures with this printer.

Dear Ture;

I guess, as long as it isn't too thick. 22 lb or 24 lb would make it through Brother's rollers. I don't see an issue. But card stock would be a problem. You should get a good print quality from it.

With AC1750 WiFi, Gigabit Ethernet speeds, and high-powered external antennas, this router offers ultimate performance in wireless coverage for large homes with 12 or more wireless devices. It gets 3x faster access than similar 802.11n.
 

I do not have a computer, just a tablet and phone - will I be able to set this router up?

Dear CAT60;

My suggestion is to have a friend come over with a laptop, set up the device, get it registered, and then it will work. The friend can take the laptop home. I find it much easier to set up a wireless router through a laptop than a mobile or tablet device. Make specific notes on all usernames/passwords, security questions/answers. You may need them for future references.

Hope that helps.

Can it print from iPhone 7, and do I need to purchase any additional software for this?

Dear Tam;

Yes, the iPhone 7 should be able to print to this printer. I don't see an issue. Apple products are very friendly with HP Printers. Once the HP printer is set up wirelessly, you should be able to select it (no additional software is required). In case you want to know, HP has an HP Printer App. That would also do the job.

Best of luck.
