AVG is one of the better Anti-virus' out there, but recently, some fishy things have been happening.First we start seeing AVG search pages taking over our browser's search pages. I don't think that's AVG, but it's very fishy.A new item just came to me in email today and after tracing the headers, it was a valid email from AVG.Here's the email: AVG Technologies AVG keeps you protected! Your AVG Anti-Virus license will be automatically...

I have not had a chance to do any trunk to trunk PBX connecting before. A client wanted setup his Allworx 6x and had previously had it setup with POTS lines. He had ordered POTS lines to get the same config as he had in a previous office but that order didn't come through. I suggested we try getting him setup using SIP instead of the POTS lines.I was unfamiliar with Allworx and tried to find a way to reconfigure the IP phones that came with the system, but quickly found out that wouldn't work....

Mozilla Thunderbird has a lot of self contained settings and pays no attention the changes in it's environment. Since installing it, I've had the default program to open an attachment to be an issue. Windows knew what program to use, but Thunderbird didn't (of course, this is because the user opened the attachment and picked what they thought was the right program, Mozilla grabbed that one and that's the way it stayed until I figured out how to undo it).This time is was the default printer. Same...

I had an issue connecting my copfilter to gmail's folders in an effort to setup bayes scoring. Initially, the problem was with the need for a secure connection. Previous to V2, we could not use SSL. After upgrading to V2, I was still having issues connecting.I was able to connect with these settings: IMAP server:imap.gmail.com:993 Require SSL:Yes User name: your Gmail account name The account name is what precedes @gmail.com in your Gmail address. If your Gmail address is nospam@gmail.com,...

I submitted a request to Peachtree support about what appears to be an obvious programming oversight. I'm posting to see if perhaps I over looked something. My question is about Credit Memo's in Peachtree 2012 Complete Accounting. Here is the original question: When I'm in the report customization in Peachtree. The money field Money applied to credit memo is always empty. No matter if there is a...

This post is for PostgreSQLI had a field in a database that consisted of city and state in the same field. It's a lot easier to create a single field out of two fields than it is constantly have to split that field up. For example, If you have a field called city and a field called state, you could easily make a citystate field that could be represented thusly: city+', '+state. The other way around requires finding the comma, removing the leading space, handling the exception that there is no...

Acer is also making laptops with no hard drive activity indicator lights. I guess this is the new wave of laptops. Maybe the manufactures think that no one looks at those lights, but we really do. If the laptop isn't working properly, all the indicators we can get help.

I also noted on this laptop, that Caps Lock and Num Lock flash an image up on the screen when it's depressed. This is not very useful when the screen isn't working or we're troubleshooting. 

Recently in all version of AVG from 2011 and up, I have found a recent pop up that has very very tiny options to ignore the pop up and continue. If you delay or accept, it replaces your search page in Chrome and in IE. I believe it also replaces Firefox too. This is annoying, both the pop up and the replacement, but recently, on a PC that never had AVG on it and no pop up, I suddenly found the AVG search engine had replaced mysearch page, it also replaced my home page which I noticed right away....

Just an observation. I believe I saw this in the paid edition also, but when AVG updates, the entire PC seems to freeze. This is just a download and patch to their databases. I cannot imagine what it is that it's doing that would cause such a problem, except that the program is not sharing the CPU which is just plain bad programming.
