I upgraded to the latest version 2014 yesterday (Acronis sent me an email coupon to upgrade for only $10). and it worked great on Win7-64. I took the backup file and restored it as a local VMware image, no problem.

The first step is to identify where this program is starting from. The easy place (not likely) would be in the start folder. More likely its in the registry though. Download CCleaner (free) and use the Tools/Startup option to identify where this is run from. You can disable it from within CCleaner and/or use Regedit (carefully) to remove the registry entry where it is located. Once it have been disabled and/or removed, run your favorite A/V and see if it detects anything else. More than likely, this is a malware program who's main executable got corrupted.

VPN is one method for sure, but depending on how often and how secure you need, there could be alternatives. For example, you could create an FTP site on your PC and access them across the Internet. There are also a number of remote-control type apps (commercially something like GoToMyPC) such as VNC that have remote file access as well. Another option is to create an Amazon account (or similar) and store the files you want to access "in the cloud" and access them that way. I use a $1.00 /month app called Jungle Disk (https://www.jungledisk.com/) that allows me to map a drive letter to my Amazon S3 account and access files as if they were local. Lots of options, but you have to decide how much you want to invest, how often you need access, and what level of security you need.

I have a special group created to allow user's access through our content filter appliance. Since 99% of the time, everyone should be a member of this group, I'd like any newly created users to automatically be part of this group and manually remove the 1% that shouldn't be. I can't seem to find any way to do this. Has anyone got a working solution? TIA
