Allway Sync removal
Allway Sync is a (sort of) free program to synchronize the files on two hard drives. It, however; has a limit to it's free version. When doing a backup of your computer, the entire C drive, the software complains that you are synchronizing too many files to be for private use.So using it to schedule file synchronization is useless. There is no information on how many is too many. Just the iTunes directory should be plenty of many.So, I wanted to uninstall the product, but it kept complaining it...

MacBook Air and Airprint; serious wireless connection issues
MacBook Air and iPhone have serious WiFi connection issues when using Airprint. Both seem to work fine surfing the internet and getting email, but when you need to print, the printer just doesn't seem to be there. The MacBook Air can see the printer, but nothing ever comes out. It just sits and spins and spins. Some solutions that people try is to restart the printer. I have connected regular PCs to the wireless printer as well and they seem to work fine (but they aren't using Airprint). But the...

chrome.dll: W32.Virut.Gen.D-148
Clamwin is reportingchrome.dll: W32.Virut.Gen.D-148 andchrome.7z:W32.Virut.Gen.D-148as virus' when they are not. Please see this link as it seems these two files keep going in and out. I monitor several PCs and find it way to frustrating to go in and filter this false positive out on every PC. But I get a report from each of PC that it has this virus which is quite annoying. It seems that the database admins for Clamwin are making an effort to fix this, but it still keeps appearing almost daily....

IE8 displays pages in mobile mode
We had one IE 8 browser that refused to show certain web sites in anything other than mobile mode. When the same site was tested against every other IE 8 browser in the office, the page showed fine. I found one site that suggested it might be the Creative Software Autoupdate program, which when uninstalled fixed the problem. The PC we had this problem on didn't have Creative Software Autoupdate or any Creative devices / software installed.Another site suggested that the headers might be overlong....

QooBox and BackEnv Permission denied
Couldn't delete BackEnv folder from inside the QooBox file, which I understand is created by Combofix.I found several posts which suggests using some other application to delete the folder, but I found it was a simple windows security issue. Here's what I did:1. Right-click on BackEnv, select properties2. Select security Tab (won't work in home versions, but if you have the pro version OS and that tab is missing, change your folder options and clear Use Simple File Sharing under the View tab).3....

MIPSpace Email Market Service IP Block listing
Well, I finally had my first run in with MIPSpace. Needless to say it was very annoying. You can find their web site at http://www.mipspace.com. Their motto is that users have the right to block everything (Actually, it's Why can't users just say NO?) The problem with a user being able to add IP addresses to a public database that will block access to email from that IP for everyone else who uses the service is simply wrong. Of course, they will argue, based on their motto, that I am wrong and...

AsteriskNOW Install - 10 Second disconnect extension to extension
I discovered more important information on the proper network setup. I was getting disconnected on calls to voice mail, attempting to record greetings, echo test or just calling another extension. I believed it was caused by one of the upgrades to FreePBX or Asterisk addons. I ended up installing AsteriskNOW 3 times before I found the problem.1. VERBOSE settings in CLI will not give the error. I also discovered that the extra v's you see after the -r sets the level of verbosity. The default is...

AsteriskNOW Install - Network
One thing to note. Changes to the OS don't take effect immediately. I'm sure there is a command to run that will install the changes, but I'm not a Linux guru. Namely, the IP address assigned to the network card. It doesn't register until after a reboot.When I first setup my AsteriskNOW PBX server, I used an internal network address. However, when it came time to install the SIP trunks, that setup proved to be impossible to work with. My router is behind several routers, so port forwarding was...

BC.Exploit.CVE_2011_3412 clamwin (false positive???)
Got several virus alerts from Clamwin in several old .xls files. Looking up the info, it appears that this was a false positive last year. See this post:http://forums.clamwin.com/viewtopic.php?t=3396. Did a little research and this particular file seems to be imbedded in publisher files and emailed to victims per NIST: (http://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/vuln/detail?vulnId=CVE-2011-3412). Not sure if the code executes in an excel file or not, but Clamwin is finding code that it believes to be this virus....
