    Cheap first PC for a kid

    Thanks for the different ideas, guys. A few questions answered - yes a monitor should fit in that price. - I'm probably not up for unlocking the Sempron. I've been out of the hardware scene for a few years now and am just looking for "simple and works" NoForgiveness's build looks...

    Cheap first PC for a kid

    I'm looking to get a first computer for my kid. He's about to start kindergarten (amazing how early they need computers) and I want him to have one for him and his little brother to grow up with. I'm even thinking about a cheap netbook or laptop, but I have a bias towards desktops. Any...

    First new build in four years, did I make any mistakes?

    I haven't been to MicroCenter in a year or two, but if they have a price that compares with NewEgg I don't mind shopping there at all. Why?

    First new build in four years, did I make any mistakes?

    Hey, old timer here who hasn't been on [H] in ages. I'm looking to build my first full system in ages and I'm out of the loop. I've given myself a crash course over the past few days, but I'm close to pulling the trigger. What did I miss? 1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming...

    Suggestions on enterprise IM monitoring?

    Here is the deal, I need to build a report on employees IM usage, how much is business versus personal is the primary question. I'm looking around for some sort of tool I can get to sniff and log IM's from a system which gets mirrored traffic from our proxy. Since this is short term until we...

    Nessus replacements?

    We run Nessus for internal vulnerability (CVE) scans and it works great, except the reporting leaves much to be desired. After every scan I have to spend a few days massaging the data down into a format that has a quick overview for executives plus the relevent information for the server team...

    OWA Authentication Issue

    Hmm...I think this is your problem. Your exchange domain is the external domain name (.com) and your logon names match the internal domain name (.org), so when a user types in [email protected] it is a valid email address but not a vaild logon. I know, I'm repeating what we already know, but...

    Using a router for extra ports?

    Or at least hope your switch admin isn't smart enough to have restricted a single MAC per port. I for one hate home switches being plugged into the network.

    OWA Authentication Issue

    Do you have a different internal domain name (company.net) versus external DNS name (company.com)?

    I caught a NASTY Trojan

    Here's the best way I've found to clean it up. format c: /y Nothing else you do is trustworthy. Oh, and that includes any secondary drives. And all remote shared folders that you computer had write access to.

    What gives, was I possibly hacked?

    It probably was a software issue and not a trojan or anything. Look through the event viewer for errors. Just to be sure, you may want to hook up a sniffer to see what sort of traffic you are leaking to the internet.

    What is a good web content filtering software package for a corporate environment?

    I've used both SurfControl and Websense on large corporate networks (>1000 users) and of the two I'd say Websense is far better. It does a great job of both protocol level and site level filtering. The only problem is the cost, but if you are serious about filter, it is the way to go.
