Every time I close Outlook, I get these damn notices from McAfee
identifying bo:heap and a buffer overflow message.
What can I do to rid myself of this?
Long ago Intel required dual 12v rails for power supplies in systems based on
that unmitigated disaster called "Prescott", the thought being that a dedicated
rail for CPU and another for peripherals would ensure clean power and push
manufacturers to beef up wattage.
Forward to today where we n
I stand corrected! The dual 12v rail did not come about because of a mandate
from Intel engineering - but rather from the one of many asinine EU standards
pushed out this decade:

Are you using Skype? Do you think it's safe?
I thought it was p2p and used your PC as a relay station every time it's on and
connected to the internet even when you are NOT using the phone
Just wondering... :)

No I'm not currently using skype but there are phones that do not require
the pc to be on, that use router either via wired or wireless.

I wouldn't put McAfee on my PC if they paid me to do so.

That's a ridiculous analogy, Gary. There are plenty who consider even
McAfee suitable to the task it purports to do.
Would I buy it? No...Do I wish my employer would get something else,
yes. Do I get to demand what they purchase? No.

You are totally correct. I've never seen such a crappy product that
has been crappy for such a long period of time but is still for
sale. I wish

Sounds like you're describing Windows Vista to me.
Nobody thinks Vista is great. :)

I use an SMC WSKP100 and a hacked fonera wireless router with DD-WRT when I
travel, so the local calls don't rack up a huge bill at the hotels.
The quality is low to average but it is generally usable. I use dect phones on
PBX-in-a-Flash (asterisk & freepbx) at home for general use. The SMC phon
I'd have to agree with Gary on this one. If you gave me a lifetime subscription
to McAfee, I would still never put it on any of my personal windows boxes. I've
had to fix so many boxes where mcafee was the primary problem, that I will
never use it again.

This is an interesting conversation. You guys are always jumping me

ITs are the ones who influence the selection of such software.
Obviously, IT pros are NOT of one opinion on what's good and what's not.

To be fair the enterprise version has seemed to be a different beast and has
for the most part, worked OK. Our corporate office used to use mcafee but my
dept boxes are built by me.

True for AV. For a span of 7 years, the king antivirus solution was Symantec's
