I have to agree with this. We have Webroot working in a 450 node environment. The updates for the console and client are completely seamless with notification in the event of application error. The rollout was done thru SMS.
Active scanning workd OK but the scheduled full pc scan is what catches the nasties.
I also tested the Lavasoft product and was no impressed. After running Ad-aware then spybot the webroot still picked up more. Something is to be said about a product that does not have a "free" version.
A: The bully that is picking on his will be sweeping the floors at his office in 10 year.
B: There are very attractive female geeks too.
C: Who gives a rats ass what other people think.

This has nothing to do with cost at all. Microsoft is up against the wall in the far east. China has already given Bill the finger and his crapped his pants. He just lost a potential 1 Billion copies of Windows XP sales.
If Thiland and then India is next there goes another Billion. I am sure India with it's large programming operations will still go with M$ but when they go home at night and fire up a Linux platform it is just less money for Mr. Gates.
This is Microsoft running scared from a group of region of people who will not bow to Microsoft's whims and use there OS because he said to.

They tried to diagnose my son with this in K grade. I immediately pulled him out of school and took him for a second option. Every doctor i took him to said " Jesus he is just 5 and may need more time to adjust ". Since then I put him into a Goddard school who is working with him in a Pre-K setting. He is adjusting well and the ADHD type behavior is subsiding. Drugs like Riddilin have also been found to increase the chances of suicide in children as well. I suggest taking him to a MD or a head shrinker for a second opinion. Schools today expect to roll out drones and nothing more. If a child wants to be a bit out of line or resistant to their teaching methods they immediately label them. They do not want children to be children anymore but adults at a early age.
All I have to say is that their are checks and balances in everything. Network administrators are there to do just that. Keep your network running in a smooth efficient manner.
That is the way I run ours anyways. Sometimes I do resist change but not to make life difficult. Sometimes there seems a unknown purpose for resistsnce but if some little code change or database table decides to make the entire network take a crap the developers are usually the first to point the finger and back away stating "I'm only the developer... He should have known this would happen"
The article while amusing to some just goes to show why Network Administrators exist.
As long as you do not upgrade the drive to Dynamic we use Ghost to image. Then use the Ghost Walked to change the unique SID's. We have rolled out over 500 PC's / Laptops this way.
I think any company that outsources their staff to foreign companies are traitors. This is not a bias against India and other countries. It is a bias against companies that this the bottom line is better than putting clothes on people's backs and food on families tables. The same people you are laying off are the ones that that got you to where you are today. You think you could get where you are if you would have started from the beginning with IT outsourced? You reap the rewards in your fat bonus and stock options for a job well done and they get the shaft. Eventually everyone will ship manufacturing to Mexico and IT to India. Guess what.. 60% of the American workforce will be out of a job and have no money to buy your products & services. I guess the Executives making 200K a year will not care until the money stops rolling in. I say outsource management to India and CFO's and CIO's to a think-tank pool in India for 10K a year to evaluate the yes no questions. You can get 5 excellent IT people for 1 lousy head shaker. Outsourcing is for shortsighted fools who look further than their own wallet.
Somone should really research this outsourcing and maintain a website of companies... I will never send anything DHL again. I am sure they have a great bottomline IT budget. They probably sleep well at night knowing that maybe 20 - 30 prople have no job now thanks to them.

These internat based companies, spammers, and anti-privacy web sites post nothing on their site aboiut how to get rid of their applications or combat them. The Whois is the only way I have been able to track these "people" to the source.
I had a recent runin with a with a application that hooked into IE. There was no way to find out how this application was driving IE. I did the un-install (logically) from add / remove. This of course failed. The popup continued adn the user Partner Attorney) gets extreamly frustrated. The software originators web site had nothing.. no phone.. no e-mail.. not fax.. NADA. Off to WHOIS i went... http://networksolutions.com Oops.. registered with http://registrar.com BOOYA!!!!
One quick phonecall and a lot of cusing later the applicaiton is quickly removed!
Without WHOIS this would have been a PC shipped back to another office to be re-imaged, setup, software loaded and shipped back.
I see how it CAN be abused but the information can be vital to the right person when there is no other means. Let WHOIS not become another way for non-legitimate people hide.

Linux is not for the novice use... Most power users who run Linux are a bit above the typical user. If this comes about I can see this as te death of a good operating system.
I played this in Beta for about 2 months... The servers constantly crashed and reloaded, the Login Interface was troublesome, and once actually playing it is not really that enjoyable. Since about 10 p.m. last night the server have been dead.. the Registration server had a "hardware failure" sometime last evening as well.. Why pay 14.99 a month for this service. I thin I will log back into Dark Age of Camelot and wait or housing lot prices drop to where i can afford them.

OK, so we prevent all evaporation... Then we have no clouds... no rain... a huge ocean and all land mass is a desert. Nice!
