If you’ve been watching TV, you’re probably already aware of one of the biggest seeming annoyances of Windows Vista. Security alerts. The newest PC and Mac ads illustrate the challenges poetically. I find it somewhat challenging that the biggest complaint about Microsoft’s operating system has always been stability and security, they fix many problems in […]
I received an e-mail yesterday from the Microsot OneCare Beta team letting me know the beta program would be ending at the end of February and I would need to uninstall and purchase a full version of the software.
We wanted to give you advance notice that the (v1.5) beta will be coming to a close […]
How many computers do you have in your home? How many purely personal computers that you keep separated from your work/business systems?
I’m just getting started along these lines. We have a desktop, a very old laptop, and 3 very old desktops. Then I have my work laptop. I’m working on getting the three old desktops […]
I’ve come across another wish item for IE7 or browsers in general.
If I’ve added a website to my “Favorites”, why isn’t it automatically trusted? Maybe not even automatically, but when I add it maybe I’m prompted to also “Trust” this site. Why should i have to add sites to two separate places if I use […]

Looks like I’m not the only one. If you’re experiencing this problem you can go to this site and get some details on what others are experiencing and what they’re doing to remove the infection.
It seems to occur […]

Microsoft Corp. has made its Sender ID framework for email authentication license free.
As of Monday, the technology is available through the software maker’s Open Specification Promise, which […]
Looks like the Black Hat community has a black-eye to go along with their hats.
Claimed security hole in Firefox “just a joke”
It’s probably not a healthy thing for me, but I kind of wish it wasn’t true. I really do think that if Apple and Firefox had half the market share Microsoft did with Windows […]
Fellow b5′er Mary Ford writes about the black hat community finding an “unpatchable” hole in Firefox’s implementation of some javascript along with 30 more vulnerabilities. Since this is the all-so-popular Firefox, this means it’s impacting Windows, Apple and Linux OS’s.
The flaw is specific to Firefox’s implementation of JavaScript, a 10-year-old scripting language widely used on […]
As an FYI, I’m having a great time today trying to figure out how to successfully get our new SBS 2003 machine setup. If you didn’t catch the tone in the plain fonts on your screen, there’s tons of sarcasm marinating around my words right now.

I’ve been a very happy user of the OneCare beta for quite awhile now. I received an e-mail two weeks ago letting me know it was time to renew my beta if I was still interested. The e-mail provided a verification code and a link to renew my subscription.
I followed the instructions provided and received […]
