My thoughts regarding backups have remained constant
Yes, backup software is important, but ultimately, not as important as restore software ...
There are different levels of backup. For example, what you are doing could be called data backup. You are manually creating a copy on an external...
I believe you may be hard pressed to find one that won't permit the backup location to be specified. Personally, I am using Paragon Drive Backup.
A service pack is usually no more than an aggregation of fixes. A program product like Office, Windows Update, Defender, or the like is managed on...
I have seen the Windows Security Center get "stuck" and not recognize changes. There is a simple way to reset it, though. 1. Go to Services...
I have no direct knowledge or experience with Comcast, so you might give them a call to see what they recommend. Most ISPs actually charge extra...
Usually just turning it off and then back on is insufficient; it needs to be off until the DHCP lease expires, which is usually a minimum of one...
In the last round of Windows Updates (or perhaps the one before that) Microsoft issued a fix to allow the add-on to be uninstalled. It does,...
Interesting. I just switched from ZAAV to OA Premium. Not running any AV at this time. :thumb:
I was under the impression that there was a difference between a true LUA (i.e.: not Admin) and an Admin account with UAC turned on?
In Vista, how do Run Safer and UAC compare and contrast?
All applications (non-OS), with the exception of a couple of specific utilities, run safer on my PC (which also has UAC on). OA is also set to Run...
Microsoft's Malicious Software Removal Tool
I ran a trial of OnlineArmor Premium for the past 30 days (3.5.0.14), bought it just yesterday (2 year license), and installed 3.5.0.27 today. I...
If you are running Vista the Windows Firewall works for both incoming and outgoing. Kind of a PITA to configure, though.
T'were it I planning this, and there were no impediments to the release, it would be Monday Afternoon, PDST. But then, I am just me, alas, and not...
I am actually somewhat surprised that there have been as many release candidates as there have been. I have been using 3.5 as my primary browser...
You may have just provided a textbook example of a rhetorical question, inadvertantly or not.
I looked at BetterPrivacy, but decided to simply include the locations in CCleaner.
This is from Firefox 3.5
I take a full backup before a service pack, so "backout" is simple; just a restore.
Interesting question. Probably the former.
And for the average (or below-average) computer user out there, this is probably a good strategy. Not everyone wants to tweak, be an expert, or...
Firefox 3 scans downloads, too, if a product to do so is installed, and did it before IE8. reference There is nothing wrong with a browser placing...
Separate names with a comma.
