Time Warner New Trial Offering for Business Class Internet

Posted at 4:32:37 PM in Vendors (12)

I just got a call from Time Warner Cable internetfor business. They called and offered a new trial deployment which would give me the highest speed internet they offer business (15mbps x2mbps ) for a fraction of the cost: $131.00 a month for a 3 year term. What a deal. I'm paying $199 for 8x1 which is 2 tiers below that the max speed. That confused the customer rep who finally broke down and asked me if I was ever at a different address from where my office is... (I can't use the actual addresses...

Allway Sync removal

Posted at 10:53:53 AM in Recovery (35)

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

Posted at 5:04:52 PM in Recovery (35)

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

Posted at 5:41:40 PM in Recovery (35)

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....
