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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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

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...

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...

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...

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)...
