This is on my desktop and I did not install it. I clicked on it and it says it monitors websites and keeps them from getting your information. Isn't this the same as other antispyware programs? I've been told that if a program is installed on your computer, it may be a virus planted it, so is this legimate or from a virus? Continue reading...

Sub-pixel Rendering and the CSS Object Model
by Guest ieblog- 0 replies
- 186 views
With Windows 8, you have an unprecedented choice of devices for browsing the Web, from large desktop screens to small slates. In order to accommodate this range of devices, the browser must be able to scale and layout the Web at many different screen sizes and dimensions. We've previously blogged about some of the features in IE that support these scenarios. Sub-pixel positioning (of text and layout) is one of the core platform technologies which enable Web pages to look beautiful and consistent at any scale. In this post, we describe changes made in IE10 to better support sub-pixel positioning through the CSS-OM. Web developers can build beautiful layouts through a…

Creating default domain user profiles from the local Default User profile
by Guest Rod Echols- 0 replies
- 100 views
The methods listed below have been verified in a non AD domain, so if you use Domain level GPOs you may need to do further testing to make sure that the local gpo settings listed below are not over written by the domain policies. Also, if there is a Default User.v2 share in your netlogon shares you may need to set the permissions to that folder to "deny all" so that the windows 7 client won't pull whatever profile is there. Non sysprep method (sysprep method follows) Make group policy changes (these are what causes win 7 to not look toward the server for a default profile) • Computer Config > Administrative Templates > System > User Profiles > o…

MHTML links break in IE8, works most of the time in IE9
by Guest FourierSeries- 0 replies
- 116 views
Hi, I've created some SSRS reports that have embedded hyperlinks, that link between the different reports. The SSRS reports are stored as MHTML files and opened in Internet Explorer. Now in IE8, I've noticed that occasionally that when I click on a link, it brings me to the page but doesn't load it. The URL is correct but the page is blank. Selecting the URL and pressing Enter will load it correctly, but the problem persists when you starting using the links again. I've observed that hovering over the link just before this bug occurs, IE adds something to the URL that causes this, it looks something like: MHTML:file://!x-usc: Normally the link looks like this, and the…
