Schreibnet Technologies LLC provides tech support that we say is great, but don't take our word for it! I passed my first exam today and am now certified by Microsoft.:-)

Of the new applications in Vista, there are a couple of stand-outs. First is Internet Explorer 7. The most significant leap in IE technology is implemented in Protected Mode and the Mandatory Integrity Control (MIC). MIC is a security feature of Vista that carries the concept of least priviledge over to applications and processes. When IE7 is run in Protected Mode, it is assigned the Integrity

In today’s world, firewalls and data center security are as necessary as locks on doors and windows. Without some device or software to handle security between your computer and the internet, the Sans Institute’s Internet Storm Center reports that the computer will be under the control of a malicious coder in less than 20 minutes. That was in 2004. You can be sure it’s at least that fast

Vista came out a while ago now. When it first came out, there were issues, and they were primarily related to drivers. Drivers are the responsibility of the hardware vendors, not the operating system programmers. Secondary issues came into play with legacy custom software applications.Well, here we are in 2009. Vista service pack one has been out for some time now, and service pack two is about

Here is a piece detailing my methodology in dealing with users and network file space. I use NTFS permissions, which is a file security schema implemented in the NTFS file system from Microsoft.Some of the key rules of NTFS permissions: There are six standard rules for folders, five for files. These standard permissions control general aspects of file security. There are also 14 special

April 1 is the day for pranks and practical jokes. There is, however, a plot afoot that may or may not be quite a bit more troublesome than your average April Fool!The latest version of a worm out there called Conficker or Downadup, is sceduled to do something on 4/1/2009. What it's going to do is anyone's guess. It could be harmless, or not.Conficker is a very complex and sophisticated worm.

A couple of features stand out in my mind as great things in Windows Vista.First is Windows Defender. While technically not a Vista-only feature since Microsoft has released versions for XP and Server 2003, it made it’s debut on Vista, and is included as a part of Vista. The versions for XP and Server 2003 are available as a free download.Why Defender? Well, in the immortal words of Tony the

Remember the PC vs. Mac commercial that had Mac say "Hi PC" and a third guy in a Secret Service suit said to PC "Mac issued a greeting; accept or reject?" It went on and on, every step of the dialogue filtered through the security thug.It was a funny commercial, and it made a lot of sense if you were frustrated by that feature of windows.But if you understand what's going on in Vista with that

There are different kinds of file sharing. One is where computers on the same network agree to allow each other access to certain publicized resources via domain or workgroup membership and trust.Another kind of file sharing is what's commonly known as Peer to Peer File Sharing. First made popular by Napster, there are many variations on the theme, including Limewire, Kazaa, and others.In the

Do you have any data on your computer that is private? Any social security numbers? Tax returns? Medical histories? Customer accounts? Credit Card numbers? Sales pitches? New product details?Anything sensitive? Anything that could risk your identity if compromised? Anything that could cost your business or your customers if compromised.That's a pretty wide swath of data, and chances are

Hold Off!The little IT Birdies are chirping. The scuttlebut is that starting on or around June 1, if you buy a new PC with Windows Vista, you will be entitled to a free upgrade to Windows 7. This will be in effect until January 31, 2010, according to rumor.So if you can, hold off until this announcement is made official. You'll get free "Upgrade Assurance."

Schreibnet Technology LLC has provided a custom programming solution to Christ Lutheran Church in Cleveland to assure the church's administration of data continuity in case of disaster.The church uses a common membership management program that is feature rich in many areas, but the data backup function is quite plain. You are only allowed to backup the database to the root directory on locally

When XP came out, Microsoft began offering different "flavors" of the OS. There are Home, Professional, and Media Center editions. When Vista came out, this was made more complex and confusing to the end user. You have Home Basic, Home Premium, Business, and Ultimate. You couldn't just upgrade from Home Basic to Business either. It required a complete re-install.My question is "When I buy

Backups. You know you should do them. But for some reason, a lot of people don't.Think about your home PC. Think about all those pictures, tax documents, works of prose, customized settings, and all the stuff you have put on it. How much time would it take to get back all of your photographs? Impossible, right? What about that 2005 tax return when Uncle Sam is asking for "clarification?"
