Well I’m now seeing the trend in Driver Cleaner products becoming all the rage. Buy software to remove old drivers. In the past I’ve never had issues trying to upgrade drivers UNLESS I changed manufacturer. Like if I went from ATI to nVidia or vice versa, I’d have problems. Today when I do this I don’t see the same problems, just uninstall the old and install the new.

Well I finally have the site migrated over. I can honestly say the testing was the hardest part, several weeks fiddling with problems on the test server, and when we went live, only one minor hiccup which I’m glad to say Tim from Hostpapa reminded us…check file permissions. Doh!
Now that this is done this comes with good news and bad news. First the good news.

I saw this comment today on a malware site and I normally read them to see how folks troll malware sites looking for blame.
Folks, malware is your problem, not anyone elses. I am constantly reminded how people fail to understand that its their actions and choices that cause the infections, and today social engineering is a big reason.
Even malware experts are not immune from falling victim to their tricks. Its been like this for years and outside of the increase in targetted attacks,
its still the #1 reason.

If you had an opportunity to view your local newspapers job classifieds this weekend you may well find an ad like this one. 
It looks like a highly sincere advertisement seeking folks who would like an opportunity like this. They obviously are seeking to appeal to anyone interested in a highly flexible and possibly rewarding (getting paid to shop) opportunity. The site seems to indicate a 4-12 hour work week on average and you are considered part time. This is all cool. However, what isn’t so cool is the lack of ANY security features for the sites ‘job application’ forms.
In my eyes this is very troublesome that anyone would submit this much personal information without any measures at encrypting the data to the site. And it wants a LOT of data from you.

Are you one of the folks who has an Google email account? They are not hard to find, and very easy to get and many folks find it very handy. But for most Windows users, trying to adopt a webmail-like email such as GMAIL in place of typical clients like Outlook Express can have some problems.
Enter Google Notify. Its a great little tool that simply monitors calls to email and redirects them to your Gmail account. No more clicking on email links on web pages and getting outlook express popping up. Now the request generates a gmail compose message and seems to work very well. It will also tell you when you have new mail!
What if it doesn’t work?
