There is a new piece of malware making the rounds that hides or deleted your Start Menu icons/shortcuts. The program folders in the All Programs button are still there, but they show up as Empty. I really didn’t want to manually restore each one, and I couldn’t definitively figure out if those shortcuts are saved […]
I don’t know why this happened (although registry corruption is my guess), but a user of mine lost the ability to open EXE files, so when I went to fix that using Doug Knox’s EXE fix, it wouldn’t allow me to open the REG file either. Since I couldn’t open EXE files, I couldn’t open […]
I just replaced my computer and installed QuickBooks Pro 2011 on the new computer. I moved my data files and checked to make sure that the automatic/recurring credit card billing information was there — and it was. However, I looked yesterday and found it is all gone!! I went through this before and don’t want […]
I was working on a Windows Vista laptop that was infected and all the user files were hidden. This is my third computer with similar symptoms this week… After running MalwareBytes’ Antimalware, some things just didn’t “feel” right and Windows Update wouldn’t work, with this error: Error 80072EFE.

I searched and couldn’t find good instructions on how to move the dictionary over, so here […]

My best answer has been to leave the document open until printing is complete and it seems to prevent the problem, but […]
I ran into a situation where the LiveUpdate component wasn’t working properly for Symantec Endpoint Protection. It is a long story, but it was mainly because the newest version of LiveUpdate was uninstalled. If you need to reinstall LiveUpdate without reinstalling the whole product, you can find links here: http://www.symantec.com/techsupp/home_homeoffice/products/lu/lu/files.html It has LiveUpdate 3.3 for […]
I’ve gotten a report of a new mailing with similar characteristics as other letters I’ve covered here (click here), but it doesn’t look to be exactly the same sales pitch; unless the same folks are adopting sales tactics of a different group. One key to this mailing is that there is nothing concrete to search […]
I was working on setting up 10 HP Compaq nc6400 laptops and one would not allow the wireless button to light up in blue. The driver was installed, but it didn’t show any networks in range.veroxybd.com My fix was to press F10 as soon as I turned on the computer, went the the System Configuration […]
