Yes. No matter what kind of device your computer uses for its primary data storage, if that storage is full enough, it will bog down your computer’s performance. In extreme cases, your computer will slow down to a point that makes it feel completely unusable. Fortunately, there are remedies to the problem.
Sophos can slow computers down, but that won’t always be the case. As a security software suite, it performs a lot of tasks, and if it is working hard on a computer that doesn’t have resources to spare, you’ll experience slowness. If Sophos doesn’t overtax your system, then you’ll never experience a problem.

Trend Micro certainly can slow down a computer, but that won’t always be the case. The performance impacts depend on how powerful your computer is, what services Trend Micro is running and how many security threats are being detected. You can customize your experience for better performance if needed.
In the overwhelming majority of cases, absolutely nothing will happen. You don’t need an active internet connection while installing Windows updates. If you lose your internet connection while downloading the update, then the process takes longer, as the download cannot complete until your internet is restored.
Typically speaking, if you change the name of a contact on Snapchat, they have no idea that you have done it or what name you chose. This is a Display Name (or a nickname) that you can pick, and Snapchat does not alert users when these changes are made. They will only know about this if you show them.
In short, you cannot see whether someone is online on WhatsApp if they blocked you. Blocking is an exhaustive feature that aims to cut off all communication between a user and the person they block, and at the same time, it obscures the fact that a block occurred. You can’t see any updates or directly contact them.
In short, no, you cannot see whether someone is online on WhatsApp if you blocked them.Â

The primary reason you will see a spam account on Instagram is that someone is trying to sell you something. More subtle approaches use spam accounts to try to drive traffic to certain content creators or content. Ultimately, bots can do a lot of different things on Instagram, and that variety pushes spam.
In the vast majority of cases, essentially nothing happens. The download will pause, and the device will pick up where it left off when it has a good connection again. In other cases, the download can continue using a cellular connection. In a worst-case scenario, files can be corrupted and create errors.
The easiest way to connect to a Wi-Fi network that is blocking your phone is to get permission from the network admin. Shy of that, you can try spoofing a different MAC address to get past some security measures, or you can try using a proxy server. Keep in mind that these actions come with personal and legal risks.
