    Any recommendations for business email (desktop client)?

    I am looking for a new desktop client for my business email. I don't mind paying as long as it is good. I'm looking for multiple inboxes and secure/encrypted communications among other things. Any recommendations? Thanks!

    Does anyone use a seperate host for email and their site?

    I was a good Anandtech student and selected one vendor for my registrar and another for hosting. The host has turned out to be a nightmare, and I'm looking for another (considering StableHost.com). After this latest go-round, I wonder if I should separate my email and website in case another...

    Has anyone used Sucuri?

    My WordPress site was hacked and used for spoofing/phishing despite following all of the rules for "secure" passwords. I need to clean up the mess. One thing I'm considering is Sucuri. Any opinions? If you have any ideas on clean-up, I'd appreciate them as well. Thanks.

    Unknown devices

    Not sure if I should put this here or in networking, but here it goes: Lately, we've been having some issues accessing certain websites (ex: google.com won't load, microsoft.com works fine). All PCs have Kaspersky IS 2015, and nothing has been flagged in scans. Router is set to not...

    Safety when using public wifi

    Hi everyone, I want to upgrade my security. Currently I'm running Kaspersky, using LastPass with Yubikey, and have the LAN locked and not broadcasting. I also have a non-admin user ID setup for times when I'm not on my own network. I am considering adding desktop/disc encryption and...

    Tablets with built-in cell/wifi

    I am the designated finder for a tablet for someone who has never even used a computer. They are retired, have no internet, and never will. (No cell to tether to, either.) They live in a good reception area. Usage would be books, games (light i.e. crosswords), and Skype. The obvious...

    Win 2008 Server & EC2 Cloud problem

    First, let me say I hope this belongs here. If not, I apologize in advance. I don't know if the issues we're having are cloud based or Win 2008 based. Our files & programs were hosted by a company, which turned out to be a dud. Yesterday, we fired up our own cloud under the supervision...

    Anyplace to buy a Galaxy SII that won't cost an arm & leg?

    Well, my coveted phone is on the fritz. Rather than giving me a new one while under warranty (thanks, AT&T), they replaced the battery for a second time. I'm now six weeks out and its doing the same thing - shutting down. They're telling me that I have three choices: 1. Pay $199.00 for a...

    Anyone using AT&T's DriveMode?

    If so, how do you like it? Is there anything comparable/better out there? I like the idea of an auto-reply to texts when I'm driving, but I've read mixed reviews about DriveMode and wonder if its worth downloading. Thanks in advance for any/all replies. AG

    Galaxy SII Screen goes black

    Hello, I stopped in at my local AT&T store, and the rep said he "didn't know what's happening." (Honestly, he didn't seem very bright, and when I requested a manager, he said they were out.) Here are the issues: 1. Several times in the last week, my screen went black, yet the icons...

    New Galaxy S II owner here - what are some "must have" apps & other recommendations?

    I was able to get the .97 at Sam's on BF on my AT&T account. I'm new to the smart phone market. So far, I downloaded the free AVG antivirus and do know to get what I would like as far as games, but are there apps that are useful as far as tools and phone operations? Also, should I do...

    Any recorders that work with Dish?

    My DVR died, and I am out-of-contract with Dish. I really don't want to upgrade to their DVR and be locked into two years. What are my options? (Cable is out because I live on a border, and Comcast does not broadcast my local channels, but ones for the next state over.) I checked out...

    Linksys E4200, Asus RT-N56U, SMC, or Buffalo Router?

    My Buffalo router has been dropping wireless signal on and off for a couple weeks. Comcast did have a problem in the area, but when I connect directly to the modem via a hard-wire pc, the signal doesn't drop. I want to head things off before it gets worse. I can't live without a wireless...

    What do you think about Lenovo's K1 tablet?

    Would you buy it now, or would you wait for something else to come along? I'm debating about getting one before the offer for a free keyboard expires, but with so many others out there, it is certainly a hard decision. I'm thinking that Black Friday will have sales, but the good deals will be...

    Need guidance with cell choices

    I'm not as tech savvy as you all, so I need some help, please. I currently have AT&T as my cell carrier (I know, I know). I am years out of my contract and not opposed to switching. However, where I live may be an issue since Sprint and TMobile get patchy coverage. My phone is old (about...

    Buffalo v Asus v Netgear Router (or something completely different?)

    I need a new router, or at least I think I do. I've been dropping net connections lately, and although Comcast has been out and repaired my in-home line, it continues. If I reboot my crappy Belkin, the issue is fixed, so I can only surmise that the problem lies with this cheap, old Black...

    Need info on software for webcams

    I'd like information on software that can be easily used behind a router but is not a chat software. This is for a school that needs to have a student hookup with a classroom. Of course, the school would like it to be "free" and currently uses netmeeting. (The student's home network won't...

    Raleigh and Pittsburgh

    Hi everyone... Can anyone here point me in the direction of reputable headhunters in Raleigh and Pittsburgh for the CIS field? Other than Monster, are there any sites out there that specialize in jobs in CIS for these areas? Many thanks!

    I am completely lost

    I know *how* to open a case and add parts, but I know nothing about how to choose what to put in there. I am looking to upgrade my system board, memory, and will probably need a new power supply for them. I would like to *try* to keep the total cost to $350 or less, but if its a system...

    problems with IP assignments

    I have a problem that none of the tech support people at any of the hardware I have can resolve. I am using a SMC Barricade 7004ABR router and have three pcs and one Sunrocket gizmo connected to it. The "gizmo" is plugged into the upload link since it doesn't work in front of the router...

    How much heat would 20 computers put out?

    I need to find specs on how much heat an average Apple, Gateway, and IBM computer puts out. I don't have specific models, so I would the most common model used for schools would do. This information is needed to get room temperature averages when multiple computers are in an enclosed area...

    Hi everyone, My daughter is in charge of purchasing a laser printer that will be used by the physics department at her school. It will be used for experiments, and their limit is $1,000 (total purchase price). Of course they?d prefer a lower purchase price. It must be a high resolution...

    help choosing an external enclosure (new member)

    I?m a new member with a small dilemma. (Go easy on me, as I?m not very tech savvy. :) ) My son asked me for an external hard drive for his upcoming birthday. A friend, who is a member here, suggested that I go the route of an external enclosure with an internal HD. I braved BF and got him...
