Re: WTF? Fake AV

My experience has been varied on the issue. A basic Outlook install works fine without local admin. Things change when you start using Outlook add-ins. Some aren't as well behaved as others. On 4/28/2010 12:27 PM, Steven M. Caesare wrote: > I’ve supported email since Outlook eclipsed the “Exchan

Re: WTF? Fake AV

Office '97 absolutely had problems with the spell checker when you weren't local admin. There were permissions changes you could make to the registry keys to work around the issue. In my experience Office 2000 was the first version to fix that. On 4/28/2010 12:25 PM, Maglinger, Paul wrote: > Micr

RE: WTF? Fake AV

Microsoft Office used to have issues with spell check and some other tools unless you elevated the user to Power User. I believe it might have been Office 2000. I don't believe the issue exists anymore. From: Mayo, Bill [mailto:bem...@pittcountync.gov] Sent: Wednesday, April 28, 2010 12:2

RE: WTF? Fake AV

You know, the more I think about it, it may have been Outlook 97 with Windows 2000. Regardless, Windows 2000 was the first user OS using the NT security model, and the completely necessary email client that was then available would not work in a least-privileged mode, which was my intended point.

RE: WTF? Fake AV

Let's not out words in my mouth, OK? I'm not arguing that the Win7 security model is "so much better than the OS/X security model." My stance is that the conclusion that was stated: The Mac OS is superior to Win 7 from security model perspective based on virus infection numbers is flawed. I've

RE: WTF? Fake AV

I can no longer remember the details, and, as I tried to express, I'm sure there was a way to make it work. But, I am certain that it did not work in a default configuration. It is possible that it was an issue with Windows 2000, and not XP; too long ago to really remember. Bill Mayo _
