  1. Got a virus

    Statistically, more than half of the malicious websites out there on any given day are normally safe. So that's a serious shortcoming of the "common-sense browsing" mentality. For example, if AnandTech gets hax0red and it's on your NoScript whitelist...? Yeah. My suggestions are yonder...
  2. Antivirus for small business

    For general threat protection, I would look next to these: 1. eliminate unnecessary attack surface by uninstalling non-essential stuff. For example, if you don't need Java, make sure it's not installed. Likewise for media players and anything else. 2. Install Microsoft EMET and...
  3. AT Cycling Log - 100,000 miles done! Next stop ???

    +3 in the morning, +29 on the way home. http://app.strava.com/activities/129009543 I got a couple hills in this time. Total: 47,346
  4. AT Cycling Log - 100,000 miles done! Next stop ???

    +16 yesterday (a basic commute, then a grocery run), and +7 today. I had planned to go climb hills after work, but I ended up working late :| Total: 47,275
  5. AT Cycling Log - 100,000 miles done! Next stop ???

    We were short-staffed today _and_ the weather is finally looking nice, so I ended up working at the bike shop from about 8AM to 7PM straight through, with a couple stale Clif Bars and coffee for a lunch. At the end of the day, I gulped down a peanut-butter sandwich and set out on the rural...
  6. AT Cycling Log - 100,000 miles done! Next stop ???

    An Allez, I've got one of those :thumbsup: It doesn't get out as much as the commuter bikes do, but it's nice to have when I want to actually bring a gun to a gunfight :D On that theme, on Thursday I got out of work early and battled the rush-hour traffic to go to a group ride on the other...
  7. AT Cycling Log - 100,000 miles done! Next stop ???

    3 to work, 23 fast miles on the way home, and a 3-mile cooldown. The 23-miler was pretty fast, especially since I usually need a while just to get my legs warmed up: http://app.strava.com/activities/126132844 So that's +29 miles for Total: 46,594 I am doing well on my 40-day Strava...
  8. AT Cycling Log - 100,000 miles done! Next stop ???

    3 miles to work, 22 on the way home: http://app.strava.com/activities/125796946 Weather was decent, high 40s and fair sky. I hauled in work clothes and food for the week, then left the panniers at work. Total: 46375 Weather looks OK for the next couple days. I'm hoping to do some...
  9. AT Cycling Log - 100,000 miles done! Next stop ???

    The weather was decent today, mostly sunny and about 50F / 10C with some wind. I took my commuting mountain bike with just a trunk bag (no panniers = less air drag) and did a combined road and gravel ride: http://app.strava.com/activities/125046773 for +34 miles. I put a good effort into...
  10. AT Cycling Log - 100,000 miles done! Next stop ???

    It did rain, and stopped raining before I headed home. But it was after 9PM by then :( so I went the direct route home and had supper. So +7 miles of basic commuting. Total: 46,232
  11. AT Cycling Log - 100,000 miles done! Next stop ???

    I dragged myself out of bed at 6AM (not my type of thing) and did 21 miles on the way to work (not raining) and 26 miles on the way home (actually partly sunny, no rain). I didn't have a ton of energy on the way home; usually I eat a sandwich a couple hours before a 25-mile ride home, but I was...
  12. AT Cycling Log - 100,000 miles done! Next stop ???

    3 miles to work, and 25 on the way home: http://app.strava.com/activities/124278585 Legs are feeling a little weary, that was 3 training-effort rides in three days. Total: 46,163 The weather is supposed to be rainy for the next few days. Will my 20-miles-a-day Strava challenge...
  13. AT Cycling Log - 100,000 miles done! Next stop ???

    4 + 26 for today's commutes. Yesterday I did 3 + about 38 (accidentally paused the Garmin for a few miles) with some intense climbing efforts. So that is +71 for the last couple days. Legs are feeling it, I didn't get any real training in January or February. Total: 46127 I signed up...
  14. AT Cycling Log - 100,000 miles done! Next stop ???

    I did 3 + 26 miles on Tuesday, the first "real" ride I've done for a while ("unreal" riding being the basic 7mi/day commute, with a few longer shopping trips as needed). Wednesday and Thursday, 7mi each. So that's +43. The 26-miler showed me that my cycling fitness has slid badly on all...
  15. Software Restriction Policies in Windows 7 SP1?

    As a fact-finding step, make an extra Path Rule for MS Office's directory and set that to Unrestricted. While it's technically redundant (since the entire parent directory is Unrestricted), that may clear it up. I'm assuming you did create an Unrestricted Path Rule for the Program Files (x86)...
  16. Account hacking

    One possibility is that something you're reinstalling is Trojanized and contains the keylogger. Another possibility is a bootkit, which could survive conventional formatting and reinstallation of an OS, in which case I would use DBAN from dban.sourceforge.net as a better wiping method. While...
  17. Software Restriction Policies in Windows 7 SP1?

    With UAC enabled, even the Admin account doesn't wield Admin powers until you elevate something using a right-click > Run As Administrator. So SRP applies to all your Admin accounts just like to Standard User accounts, which actually is great since it provides a safety net when you're in your...
  18. Windows Server 2012 R2 Antivirus without additional install requirements

    I have ESET NOD32 on a Windows Home Server 2011, which is a variant of WS2008 R2. I don't think it needs any additional supporting software components; you could grab a trial version and see.
  19. How to prohibit internet use at certain times?

    Look into Microsoft's Family Safety: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29231
  20. Software Restriction Policies in Windows 7 SP1?

    I don't know exactly why your Notepad.exe result is doing that, but it shouldn't be taken as a sign that you're safe from exploits. Maybe using a non-Windows .EXE file would be a better test... here's an Adobe Reader installer: ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/11.x/11.0.06/en_US/...
  21. Software Restriction Policies in Windows 7 SP1?

    Half of the Catch-22 that makes SRP effective, is that you set aside the Admin powers. The simplest approach here is to 1. max out UAC to the "Always Notify" setting 2. create a new account that has the Administrator role 3. demote your existing daily-driver account down to a Standard...
  22. User account control is a pain the ass

    I recommend against disabling UAC. I've found very few people have researched what they're really doing by disabling it. Much more than just those yes/no prompts is riding on it.
  23. There's your problem, sir

    Haha, yikes! I can only wonder what would happen if you showed that system the EICAR test virus. Maybe it would deadlock.
  24. Bitlocker?

    If you go into Computer and right-click the other hard drive, there should be a Turn on Bitlocker option on its right-click menu. To view all the partitions on your main hard drive, try Disk Management (right-click Computer, choose Manage from the menu, and go down to Storage > Disk...
  25. Best Antivirus for 2014?

    Good question. Here is a VirusTotal scan of the .EXE file that was inside the .RAR file: https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/66a54a626a32f6db8fac51557b27905dc14311a8a3947ce020bccee22ae5db9d/analysis/1390927169/ and here is the scan of the .RAR file itself at the same time...
  26. Bitlocker?

    You should have no problem encrypting your additional drives, and your system probably has the necessary partitioning on your boot drive already. It doesn't look like your motherboard has a TPM or even a place to plug one in, so you'll need to change a Group Policy setting that lets you use a...
  27. Best Antivirus for 2014?

    I am currently re-testing the same virus sample every day at VirusTotal to see which antivirus products detect it. Two hours after I received the sample, the detection rate was 0 out of 50. It is now about five days old and the detection rate is up to 15/50 last I checked...
  28. Your preferred mechanical keyboard switch?

    Classic IBM Model M bucking-spring. I tried an MX Blue keyboard and couldn't get used to the low actuation force, so I went back to the IBM. Bonus: strong and heavy enough to use as a melee weapon when the zombie apocalypse happens. I'm estimating 5-6 pounds, and I have two of them, so I...
  29. Windows 8: Enable "Automatically get device drivers, apps, and info for new devices"?

    Yeah, that's right. It'll update various stuff that may end up on your system as part of another software install. Like right now I've got a couple variants of Microsft Visual C++ Redistributable that wouldn't get updates via Windows Update, but will be updated with the "Get updates for other...
  30. UEFI vs. Legacy Boot Mode - Installing Windows 8

    Installing in UEFI mode will also allow you the option of using Secure Boot, which prevents advanced malware known as bootkits from getting a persistent foothold on the system. For most ATers, the practical downside to enabling Secure Boot would be that they'd have to disarm Secure Boot if they...
  31. Windows 8: Enable "Automatically get device drivers, apps, and info for new devices"?

    It's a mixed bag. Windows Update got my Bluetooth adapter working after Asus's setup utility turned out to be a big FAIL. But I used to use a quad-monitor setup with two monitors mounted upside-down (for bezel reasons) and boy, was it ever fun when Windows Update decided that Now It Is...
  32. Any point to install Win 8.1 update over Win 8 with Stardock?

    No, the System Image backup routine fails because there's not enough free capacity on the System Recovery partition for a shadow-copy image to be created. This affects the system's System Image backup, Windows Home Server backup, and also seems to be the reason that the SR partition can't be...
  33. Any point to install Win 8.1 update over Win 8 with Stardock?

    Yes, it has some security improvements, such as defaulting to TLS 1.2, further tweaks to high-entropy ASLR, and a mitigation against some types of pass-the-hash attacks. And 3D-printer support! :D Downsides I have noticed so far: System Image backup is broken across all my systems...
  34. Security risks of running Office 2003 post-EOS?

    Last I checked, OpenOffice will saddle you with Java. Fortunately most of OpenOffice does not actually require Java to function, so I'd suggest just uninstalling Java immediately. As you probably know, Java's browser plug-in in particular has been a huge security liability.
  35. Security risks of running Office 2003 post-EOS?

    The text-styles panel... I'm guessing the reason it looks like that, is that people (with average eyesight, anyway) are fast at visually choosing the style they need, rather than having to rummage for it on a menu (although that option is right below, in the fly-out menus). I honestly don't...
  36. Cryptolocker

    Good point, I never noticed that! A program can change its CWD on the fly, so the location where the program ran from won't necessarily remain the CWD. But in the event that it didn't change it, it looks like they'd be synonymous. Given that some of my old software does stop working when...
  37. Security risks of running Office 2003 post-EOS?

    It must be the 404 Trojan ;) Well go to http://www.krebsonsecurity.com and go down to the Target: Small Business tag down the page on the right-hand side. Brian has quite a few such write-ups.
  38. Security risks of running Office 2003 post-EOS?

    I own a full Office 2007 myself, but based on my keeping up-to-date on the subject of security, I would be very reluctant to use it anymore. Office 2010 was a big leap forward in exploit mitigations. Understand the adversary. They're financially motivated professional software writers with...
  39. Cryptolocker

    I'll use Adobe Reader as an example. If Adobe Reader's executable file needs a .DLL file, then Windows will (by default) look for that .DLL file in the same folder that the executable file is in. Seems legit so far, right? The problem is that an attacker could arrange to put a legit copy of...
  40. Security risks of running Office 2003 post-EOS?

    Office 2010 and 2013 have substantial security upgrades over 2007. The first examples coming to mind are Protected View, DEP, and File Validation. More insights yonder: https://www.cert.org/blogs/certcc/2011/04/office_shootout_microsoft_offi.html On the original topic: yeah, just like...
