Computing with Mister2: July 2009
http://mister2compute.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Random musings from the world of computing and computer security. Thursday, 16 July 2009. Have You Pre-Ordered Windows 7 Yet? Microsoft have allowed Windows 7 to be pre-ordered at a sizeable discount. Mayhem immediately ensued. Many suppliers have sold their pre-order quota by now. I waited for my favourite supplier, ebuyer. To offer the deal and promptly discovered it had sold up before I even got there. I eventually ordered from Currys online. I see that Comet. Tuesday, 7 July 2009. From Cedrick 'Nitch...

Computing with Mister2: Macrium Reflect
http://mister2compute.blogspot.com/2009/08/macrium-reflect.html
Random musings from the world of computing and computer security. Thursday, 13 August 2009. I was looking round for a decent disk imaging program and, on the recomendation of a fellow Microsoft MVP, I took a look at Macrium Reflect. Then I downloaded the free edition. What an eye opener! There is also the option to create a Linux-basd recovery disk should my system fail to boot, whereby I can restore the whole partition and quickly get back to work. Brilliant!

Computing with Mister2: The End for Windows 7 RC
http://mister2compute.blogspot.com/2010/02/end-for-windows-7-rc.html
Random musings from the world of computing and computer security. Wednesday, 3 February 2010. The End for Windows 7 RC. For anyone still running Windows 7 RC (Release Candidate), it's Make Your Mind Up time. From 1st March up to 1st June, Windows 7 RC will shut down every 2 hours. Apart from the risk of losing your work (no - it isn't saved prior to shutdown) it makes backing up and disk imaging rather tricky. So, will you revert to your old Vista or XP setup? Make your mind up - time is ticking!

Computing with Mister2: January 2009
http://mister2compute.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Random musings from the world of computing and computer security. Tuesday, 20 January 2009. Windows Security Update (Critical). This update is labelled Critical. B, also known as Downadup) can take over your system with Administrator rights, lock you out or bypass your passwords. Monday, 19 January 2009. The Windows 7 Beta download. Nice, and awful. And the standard 3-fingered salute (Ctrl Alt Del) brings up a menu allowing Task Manager to be started rather than starting it automatically. But most import...

Computing with Mister2: IE8 and Ask! Toolbar
http://mister2compute.blogspot.com/2009/08/ie8-and-ask-toolbar.html
Random musings from the world of computing and computer security. Friday, 28 August 2009. An unusual problem has recently surfaced for which IE8 has taken (incorrectly) the blame. The symptoms are that a system will run quite happily until the next reboot. Or rather the next non-reboot. The problem is that boot.ini file has been deleted. It turns out that a combination of the Ask! Toolbar and IE8 can cause this file to be deleted. From then on your system should boot normally every time. It will be a mix...

Computing with Mister2: May 2009
http://mister2compute.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Random musings from the world of computing and computer security. Sunday, 17 May 2009. Living with Windows 7. So I finally took the plunge and installed Windows 7 RC as the operating system on my main computer. The verdict? Obviously there are a lot of things to get used to, but overall it is very good. Taskbar previews of running programs. Aero snap-to when using 2 windows (brilliant! Ultra quick startup and shutdown. So overall I'm really pleased with it - Microsoft certainly have a winner here! It wil...

Computing with Mister2: BEWARE! Fake 'Microsoft Update'
http://mister2compute.blogspot.com/2009/08/beware-fake-microsoft-update.html
Random musings from the world of computing and computer security. Wednesday, 5 August 2009. The past couple of days I have been receiving email purporting to be from Microsoft regarding a critical update for Outlook and Outlook Express - KB910721. THIS IS A SCAM. Is actually a genuine Windows update to fix a problem with Outlook, but remember that Microsoft will NEVER alert users to updates via email. If you follow the link in the mesage you will download the trojan Troj/Spy-CU. View my complete profile.
