    Are there no good AVs out there anymore?

    I actually got a popup asking me to login after I posted here. :| I got in touch with customer support and gave them my key, they said they would disable the popup from their end. We'll see. Pretty ridiculous having to contact them over a popup box... a "don't show again" checkbox would be...

    Are there no good AVs out there anymore?

    In regards to Bitdefender, I haven't had any popups asking me to log into anything.

    Are there no good AVs out there anymore?

    About a month before I dumped Avast it detected it's own virus definition update as a virus. I shit you not. I'm going back to around November 2013 when I recall this happening. I went to their forums and people were bitching about it. I already hated the new UI and then that happened I decided...

    Are there no good AVs out there anymore?

    I recently dumped Avast free after 9 years because I couldn't stand the new UI in version 9. I have no idea what they were thinking when they redesigned it. I initially switched to Kaspersky and it ran great for about 4 weeks and then it decided to not want to load properly. The tray icon would...

    OneNote 2007 shared notebook question

I have existing files in it. In OneNote 2007 on the laptop when I click on the notebook folder option and point it to...

    Server 2008 and RAS question

    O.K.. Their router is being used for DHCP, so I have to point the server to the router. All they want to do is access the share on the server, nothing on the rest of the network. I didn't initially set this thing up, somebody else did and they left it half baked. I know typically it's best to...

    Server 2008 and RAS question

    I'm rusty with RAS so I'm asking this here. If I recall correctly in order to configure RAS on Server 2008 the server must be setup as a domain controller/DHCP server and with AD right? If Server 2008 is setup as a part of a workgroup without a AD/DHCP server then RAS won't function..correct...

    Microsoft to Manufacturers: Its your fault Windows 8 crash landed!

    I agree. I took the plunge and downloaded the Windows 8 Pro upgrade for $40 yesterday after using the enterprise evaluation for several months. I'll most likely install it in a VM and keep using 7 as my main OS. I still don't like metro (too bad I'm still calling it that) but I figured for $40...

    Anyone else still running Core 2?

    I just worked on a Optiplex 320 for a client that went down due to a bad mobo. Worked one day, the next day it wouldn't post. Visually the caps looked fine but not all caps bulge and leak when they go. I kept getting beep codes pointing to the memory, the memory is fine the mobo is defective. I...

    Anyone else still running Core 2?

    I know NFS is not a technical showcase but I play NFS:HP and Shift 2 with everything set to high on a Q9550 stock clocked with a budget GTX 550Ti @ 1920 x 1080 and it stays at 60fps. I have vsync enabled. I also have 4x AA on. I don't really play games much these days but when I do everything is...

    Breaking: Shooting at CT elementary school

    Keep wondering. This wasn't the only station that reported the cops(SWAT) grabbing a guy in the woods wearing camouflage pants. I read a few reports that said the guy they grabbed out of the woods was yelling "he didn't do it" to witnesses. Then a few hours later nobody mentioned this guy again...

    Do you use a Craigslist template to avoid the #*$(ing idiots?

    lol. Sometimes you just have to say F 'em.

    Best and worst CPUs since 1998

    I'll go with the Core 2 Duo and Quads as some of the best. Particularly the Q9550. I'll go with the AMD K5 series as some of the worst. I'm not a fan of Celerons either. I had a K6III 450MHz processor that I liked a lot back in the day. I ran that for a while. I also had a few K7 chips...

    No brainer prediction, Romney gets nominated only to lose to Obama

    Obama puppet won. What a surprise, didn't take a crystal ball to figure that out in advance. The police state is moving ahead at a quicker pace under him(the agenda moves ahead no matter who is in there), why impede progress? Romney, Obama, doesn't matter. You would think people would realize...
