Windows Intermittent Internet Connection

I seem to have fixed it by connecting through our extension router, so I'd guess the problem has something to do with the main router. It's a modern laptop using a standard built-in slot adapter, however, I think I'm good now, as long as I've got Internet working.

Windows Intermittent Internet Connection

I'm guessing Tweaking's All in One or Complete Internet Repair did that, but I tried it anyway and no change.

Windows Intermittent Internet Connection

I've recently been having problems with my laptop and my home network, and my normal troubleshooting techniques can't seem to crack this one. Here's the facts that are leaving me confused: 1. Windows 7 x64 on my laptop is having difficulties connecting to my wifi. 2. The wifi is a basic home...

Insight: Did Conficker help sabotage Iran's nuke program?

I wouldn't be surprised if the reverse-engineered concept for Conficker was utilized in creating Stuxnet, if an exploit works there's certainly nothing to stop it from being reused. Saying that Conficker was used to get Stuxnet in is like saying Yahoo's search engine was used to make Google...

Why do I need to change my password

Well, since most companies have a fairly fast password changing system, all you'd need to do if you were locked out by a hacker is call up your IT group and get it changed, locking out the hacker again in the process. I think it's a bit silly, especially considering most companies have...

"Win 7 Security 2012"- very nasty, questions

I wouldn't be surprised, email attachment viruses still work, even when email providers require the virus to be zipped in odd formats, somehow people manage to shoot themselves in the foot, even though you've got them tied to a chair across the room from the gun.

"Win 7 Security 2012"- very nasty, questions

Certainly, but Java always asks permission before being run(unless you've marked the publisher as trusted), unlike Flash, so by using Chrome you essentially get the same effect with Java as you would using NoScript in Firefox.

Stuxnet

Kernel Mode drivers would likely be your chipset-related drivers, video drivers(they need good performance), while user mode are more simplistic ones, like sound drivers, NIC drivers, USB devices, etc. One thing to note is that typically BSODs are caused by kernal-mode drivers, because they...

403 forbidden message

Do you have port 80 forwarded to your NAS in your router's settings? Otherwise you shouldn't be able to access it from outside your local network, if this wasn't the case, any NAS plugged into your network would be accessable to the outside world (at least the password screen would be).

"Win 7 Security 2012"- very nasty, questions

While updating your third-party browsing software is certainly the best way of lowering your chances of catching these viruses, there is still a significant time period between fresh exploits being found in the software and updates being released to fix them. Because of this, sandboxing is truly...

Stuxnet

A kernel driver differs from a user driver in that it is given significantly more access to the system's memory than a typical user-mode driver. Typically drivers are put in user-mode and given less direct access to memory(they must go through several layers of the OS to access memory), however...

Test Viruses for Download

Me and my boss at work spent about two hours the other day trying to infect a virtual machine with no AV, minimal updates, and running Win7. After running through plenty of random torrents with cracks for games not released yet, doing everything from IE8, with all security settings set on their...

Computer doesn't look for OS on startup, won't boot

Unplug it until you're on, then reconnect it and change your other monitor to be #1, that, or resolve anything that requires user input up until it figures out both monitors.

how to create zfs

Hi, I know it may sound like a good idea, but my work kept all of their data in the ZFS, and even with a RAID6, our servers went down, and now we're finding it horribly difficult to recover any data. We even have Oracle themselves down here trying to help recover the data. Basically, it has...

Advice Requested - Gigabyte UD3R Won't Power On

Is there no LED on the board? Depending on the fan types you have, they should spin regardless of whether or not the CPU is working, I would just RMA the board, bad CPUs are much more rare, and it sounds unlikely.

SATA drive to IDE

From personal experience I've found SATA to IDE converters to be less than reliable, similar to how USB to PS/2 converters sometimes glitch up. However, for $8, I'd say it's worth a shot, it certainly won't be capable of going 6.0 Gbps, but if you're just using a standard HDD, not some high...

Comp won't fire up after new RAM installed

According to your mobo's memory specs, the RAM you purchased isn't listed as compatible, your best bet that I can think of is trying to mix the RAM, and then your mobo just MIGHT slow the other stick to match the older one, but most likely you're going to be unable to use that RAM with your...

Windows 7 Spanned Volumes and hot-swapping

Your actual request isn't theoretically possible, should the drives truly be spanned, pulling any single drive would essentially pull whatever data is on that drive from your system, some sort of data duplication must occur in order to achieve a sort of hot swappable array. Assuming the drives...
