Any recommendations for business email (desktop client)?

I am looking for a new desktop client for my business email. I don't mind paying as long as it is good. I'm looking for multiple inboxes and secure/encrypted communications among other things. Any recommendations? Thanks!

Does anyone use a seperate host for email and their site?

I was a good Anandtech student and selected one vendor for my registrar and another for hosting. The host has turned out to be a nightmare, and I'm looking for another (considering StableHost.com). After this latest go-round, I wonder if I should separate my email and website in case another...

Has anyone used Sucuri?

Thank you both. I will sign-up for Securi once I get a new site up. This mess started when I had to be moved from my initial server to another due to email issues. (I use Arvixe for hosting and Domain.com for registrar.) It seems the hack occurred with the move, but I can't prove it. The...

Has anyone used Sucuri?

My WordPress site was hacked and used for spoofing/phishing despite following all of the rules for "secure" passwords. I need to clean up the mess. One thing I'm considering is Sucuri. Any opinions? If you have any ideas on clean-up, I'd appreciate them as well. Thanks.

Hi John, Thanks for the reply. Yes, I have WPA2 and cable. I've been clean booting that PC since I deleted the "devices," but I'm more concerned with how they got there. This morning I looked on a second PC and found that my network is now listed as a media server. Details are...

Safety when using public wifi

Hi everyone, I want to upgrade my security. Currently I'm running Kaspersky, using LastPass with Yubikey, and have the LAN locked and not broadcasting. I also have a non-admin user ID setup for times when I'm not on my own network. I am considering adding desktop/disc encryption and...

Tablets with built-in cell/wifi

I am the designated finder for a tablet for someone who has never even used a computer. They are retired, have no internet, and never will. (No cell to tether to, either.) They live in a good reception area. Usage would be books, games (light i.e. crosswords), and Skype. The obvious...

Win 2008 Server & EC2 Cloud problem

I can see the shares. The C is not shared (cannot get this to change), but public, a folder named shared (setup by me), and a few others are. The problem is that a couple programs (custom, installed onto the cloud while under admin) want users to save data under their directories. Its...

Win 2008 Server & EC2 Cloud problem

Thanks for the reply. I forgot to say that all errors say users (admins) do not have rights to save/write to a directory (under c:). Saving to desktop worked. Some files default to saving to subs under the c, so I don't get why this is an issue here. It never was anywhere else, even on...

Anyplace to buy a Galaxy SII that won't cost an arm & leg?

Evident, Where did you purchase your battery? I can't help but wonder what's in the phone that's making these batteries die. My charger came w/the phone, so I'm guessing it should be the orig. I watched them open the box, but hey, anything's possible.

Anyplace to buy a Galaxy SII that won't cost an arm & leg?

I will definitely give Samsung a call. They'll probably tell me that I'm out of warranty (expired late Nov), but in all honesty, the second time I called AT&T about the problem, they should have replaced the phone. Maybe that argument will hold water w/them, especially since I own other...

Anyplace to buy a Galaxy SII that won't cost an arm & leg?

Well, my coveted phone is on the fritz. Rather than giving me a new one while under warranty (thanks, AT&T), they replaced the battery for a second time. I'm now six weeks out and its doing the same thing - shutting down. They're telling me that I have three choices: 1. Pay $199.00 for a...

How often does your smartphone reboot itself on it's own?

Larry, I have a GSII on AT&T and had the same problem. Their tech support said that some of the apps running in the background will cause the phone to do that occasionally when they update. Some of them I added, some were stock, so I logged out of mine and only sign in when I want to use...

If so, how do you like it? Is there anything comparable/better out there? I like the idea of an auto-reply to texts when I'm driving, but I've read mixed reviews about DriveMode and wonder if its worth downloading. Thanks in advance for any/all replies. AG

I've not read anything about why they left out an optional HSPA+/LTE feature on the Nexus 10. Does anyone know why this is, or was it purely to keep the cost down?

Smart Devices for those with Disabilities

That's fantastic! I am very close to a special young guy who attends school via robot because he's pretty sick. He's the first in his state to do so and was, I think, second in the country. Technology for those who have disabilities has truly come a long way.

Check your apps for AP Mobile (Associated Press). A lot of people have problems with that updating constantly. I'm on AT&T, and it came preloaded with my SGSII. I can't uninstall it, and force stop only works for a short time before I have to manually go in and do it again. Also check for...

Need guidance with cell choices

Thanks for the replies and suggestions so far. The one thing I like about AT&T and TMobile is the ability to take the chip from one phone and place it in an unlocked one of my choice. I hate that Verizon and Sprint don't allow this, unless something has changed with their systems.

Buffalo v Asus v Netgear Router (or something completely different?)

Beginner, You bring up a good point. I didn't think to mention that the PCs that are dropping are wired into the current router, which is why I believe the box is the culprit. I do have wireless needs, and I was trying to get away with not having to buy two routers. Thanks!
