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....

Joomla 2.5.1 Still no PostgreSQL option available
I've been checking the Joomla multi database support ever since an article came out in Jan 2012. This is one example: http://www.itweb.co.za/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=50936:Joomla-gets-database,-search-supportSo, I went to the Joomla web site and installed it on my PHP server with PostgreSQL extensions installed. I checked all the requirements and pgsql and pdo_pgsql show as registered in php_info(). But PostgreSQL does not show as an option for database install. I posted...

AsteriskNOW Install
Just recently installed AsteriskNOW 1.7.1 32-bit ISO Image http://www.asterisk.org/downloads. This is my first installation and was done as a test while I'm investigating options for a client request. I should keep better notes, but my style of investigation leaves little for education for others. However, I will try to document what I've found so far.I originally found Asterisk on sourceForge.com while looking for telephony solutions. When I downloaded the ISO image, I had no idea I was also...
