Stuff like this is a moving target that takes three people and tens of thousands of dollars of very sophisticated equipment to protect our organization from such incursions. The worst part of it is that the authors will take one piece of malware or a virus/trojan, whatever, and make a minor tw

Regedit is still alive and well through Windows 7. I can't speak for Windows 8 or 10, as I haven't worked with either in depth. I did some work with Windows 8 when I was at the school district because we had to use it to manage Windows 2012 servers and their VMs. Dan > On Feb 4, 2015, at 6:

A bit late since you have fixed it, but is there not a means of telling Windows to go back to an earlier date in order to avoid issues like this that crop up? RB On 04/02/2015 4:10 PM, archer75--- via Mercedes wrote: The Korean malware, which had overloaded memory, blocked malwarebytes, and

Of all the times I've tried, I never got Windows to roll back using the native recovery utility. I'm not bashing, just relating my experience. I am a great believer in clean installs. Keep a clean image and good, regular backups, and when something like this occurs you just nuke and start fres

Curly, Not sure what problem you're having.  I've been running an HP2840 since Win98 to WinXP and now Win7.  It installs better under XP if you have the install disk which uses the web setup to install everything correctly (scanner, fax, etc.).  Sometimes the web setup runs into conflict w

Yeah, I got 4 8150s for $100. They got rid of them because there was no WIndwers 7 or 8 driver. We use 2 of em every day, Scrapped one, and have a spare. The HP SOHO stuff is crap. This one has a network plug, but never worked right on the network. ___
