  • One other thing. If you currently have an issue and you can't get another AV tool to work correctly, Avast used to have a standalone app called Stinger but it looks like it's a McAfee product now. It's another cleaner application and you have to download the latest version to get the most up to date definition files. But,…
  • If you absolutely need to have a 3rd part AV provider then I recommend 1.) Avast - good overall, non-intrusive, doesn't skimp on the free side 2.) AVG - good overall, some nice features are only available on the pay side 3.) BitDefender - mostly for it's scrubbing capabilities, better features have to be paid for Have a…
  • UGH! So much to unpack here! Professional Information Security consultant here. 27 years of experience. First off, this is completely incorrect. You should stop talking out your aft regions as you clearly have no idea what you are talking about about. I will agree that for free, AVG is decent enough but, there's no real…
  • No fun at all. I had that fun and the sewer line was orangeburg pipe, satan's own plumbing. It was also over 9 feet down and the backhoe couldn't dig effectively at that depth so they had to jump in the hole and finish the trench by hand. Had to dig up the whole lawn because the pipe was collapsing from just the inspection…
  • Since Monsanto got bought by Bayer and then sued out the wazoo, the farmers markets around me have been producing some of my past faves again. It was hard to find Silver Queen corn in Jersey for a while. You'd get what was supposed to be Silver Queen but it was a mix of yellow and white corn on the same cob and the whole…

  • Ah, Boat International has some better shots of the underside and large sections of hull missing. They struck something. https://www.boatinternational.com/yachts/news/no-fuel-pollution-lovebug-yacht-capsizes-sinks-chesapeake-bay-maryland-usa And here's the specs on The Lovebug…
  • Isn't the West River spot where all the fancy "yacht harbors" and "yacht clubs" are? West River is pretty far up the bay, about 2/3rds of the way to Baltimore from the mouth and getting into the brackish waters. It gets real shallow in many areas. Like, no more than waist high and tides affect water level drastically. Once…
  • Also, Polk did surpass the dB and the DX as well as the MOMO with the SR Series. That was just an amazing set of speakers all around. Nothing in car audio from Polk has come anywhere close to the SR Series since. Honestly, not much in general car audio from any manufacturer holds a candle to the SR Series.

  • Holy necro'ed thread, Batman! 21 years old! It can buy me a beer!

  • Something interesting for y'all to ponder. There was an event in 2010 called "The DAT 5958 Update" that then McAfee foisted on the general public. It was bad. Essentially a bad virus definition file from McAfee labeled the scvhost.exe file as a threat and caused the McAfee AV software to remove it on any systems running…
  • Hmmm...that seems like a botched image deployment on initial setup or, they have an improperly configured security group that you're in. I'm not going to try and fix it from here. Your IT team needs to figure out what the deal is but in all honesty, it's still a fresh system and you will have to move everything over again…
  • You're not going to get an actual SafeMode from WindowsPE. WindowsPE can fix the same stuff that you can in SafeMode but it doesn't need to be in SafeMode to do it. BUT If you don't have the account permissions to do what you need to do, you won't see the options on that screen. Given the response from your IT weenies,…
  • That's because of where your PE recovery utilities sit in the boot process. You can get to safe mode but not until the PE recovery utility is up. It's actually not a utility but a small, encapsulated OS that starts certain Windows processes to be able to mimic a Safe Mode or a WRE but you're not actually in the Safe Mode,…
  • Isilon is a brand name for a type of on-premises SAN (Storage Area Network) system that is sold by the EMC corporation. If you're running Isilon equipment, you're not using a cloud service or you are running your own cloud service. EMC is wholly owned by Dell now, BTW. I know there are cloud infrastructure services managed…
  • Well, it would since you're not using Azure anymore. As long as you are managing your own OneDrive and Sharepoint installations and not relying on Microsoft to do it, you're unaffected if you didn't push any updates yet. Hopefully somebody shuts off your updates until this is all resolved. Thing about this all is, though,…
  • The UK Government...the news is being cheeky about it. The UK Government is down, hard. Parliamentary offices are completely offline, several social services offices are significantly impacted, I don't know about any military infrastructure but that tracks as I don't have a need to know and the NIS systems are having…
  • Wellllll.....about that. Azure services are also impacted by an unrelated change to configurations that is affecting infrastructure Azure-wide and while recovery is in progress, the magnitude of the change is affecting progress expediency. So your MS Suite stuff may have some hiccups in accessing Sharepoint repositories.…
  • Depends, are you near an office? If you're not, that's going to be difficult. Makes things like CD-ROM drives and Floppy Disk drives seem not so stupid 'cause if you can get to the system BIOS page, you can change the boot device and get to the system that way so you can delete the driver and sys files that are causing the…

  • It should, it's a SIM card, the tech doesn't change. I know the set up for the new stuff is different, though, 'cause T-mobile is trying to keep people from putting the hot spots in RVs and not paying the RV unit charges so you may need to get on the horn with them and have them activate it for your new unit on their end.
  • We modified our Novak speed controls to get rid of reverse and used it to charge a capacitor. Novak even started making big azz heat syncs for them because people were doing this and frying them, literally. Adding the capacitor and jumping the reverse would give you this extra punch at the beginning of the race and if you…
  • I had a bunch of Tyco stuff when I was a kid and they were a blast but then a friend showed up to a Scout meeting with a Team Associated RC-10 buggy and I wanted one of them badly. But the RC-10T I wanted was, like, $600 to get the kit and the stuff needed to run it and I didn't have that being a ripe age of 12. So I saved…
  • I want to share my garage(s) but, it's 2400 total square feet and a complete shambles full of old Fords, tools scattered about with various projects in different stages of completion, a backhoe and lots of spiders. So it's not all pretty and organized like everyone else's here but at least I don't have to worry about…
  • He moved? He did all that work and moved as soon as it was done? Why?
  • OK, those AppliancePartsPros guys are awesome. We have a Maytag overhead microwave. It was a year old and it stopped turning on. I was on Reddit looking at some of the posts about my microwave and didn't find much. So I signed up for an account and posted my question thinking I was going to need a really expensive part…
  • I don't like the front loaders unless I'm going commercial like Speed Queen. Sid's annoying with it but it's good advice. Expensive advice but good advice nonetheless. Even still, we got a Whirlpool Cabrio set when they first came out. Top loader washer, front loader dryer and the washer and dryer are HUGE! They'll swallow…
