» Which anti-virus software would you recommend for me?
By Ben Joseph Zerpa | Published 03/30/2009 | Protect Your PC , Frequently Asked Questions , Technical Help | Unrated

I will recommend you to use McAfee VirusScan Plus 2009.

McAfee VirusScan Plus 2009 is a solid contender in the anti-virus market. Its ability to find and remove threats was definitely above par. It turned out to be one of the better products that we came across.

McAfee VirusScan Plus 2009 also shines in the area of providing extra perks to the user. This is evidenced by the file shredding utility as well as the personal firewall that comes with the program. Customer support, while not entirely comprehensive, does seem to be able to help with most any problems that may be encountered by the casual user. In this sense the service is fairly good, despite the inability to make phone contact right away.

Overall we found the software to function well. It removed the threats that it encountered and it provides a few extra perks as well. This together with adequate customer service can make this program a good choice for many users.

» Active Desktop Recovery Problems
By Ben Joseph Zerpa | Published 03/6/2009 | Technical Help | Unrated

Q. I've suddenly started having a problem with Active Desktop Recovery being shown every time I start my (Win XP Pro) machine. When I click "Restore my Active Desktop" I get the following error:

"An error has occured in a script on this page:

Line 65

Char 1

file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/My%20Name/Application%20Data/Microsoft/Internet%20Explorer/Desktop.htt"

Here is the solutions for this problem

1. Run regedit

2. Find this entry - HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftInternet ExplorerDesktopSafeModeComponents

3. Change the key value - DeskHtmlVersion REG_DWORD 0x00000110(272) to decimal zero

4. Close regedit log off and log back on.

This has worked for all our XP clients

Expert User

Heres a basic script to change the above registry setting

HKEY_CURRENT_USER = &H80000001
strComputer = "."
Set objReg = GetObject("winmgmts:\" & strComputer & " ootdefault:StdRegProv")
strKeyPath = "SoftwareMicrosoftInternet ExplorerDesktopSafeModeComponents"
strValue = "0"
ValueName = "DeskHtmlVersion"
objReg.SetDWORDValue HKEY_CURRENT_USER, strKeyPath, ValueName, strValue

Copy this to notepad and save as activedesktop.vbs, then run the file, logoff then log back in again

Hope this help, if not give me a call at 909-862-4141
