Quoting the classic flic GungHo ...I don't get, I don't see it..... not one
iota.
Well, certainly life as we know it would not be recognizable without them...
yet as one who is not quite a techno boob, or techphob but equally I am of
the generation where we don't necessarily need or want to know about the
labor.... just give us the baby..
To this end, I cannot understand a few things as I have just now lost my
server virginity, made more unpleasant by doing the cutover from the age old
peer network right about when a ghost seems to have assumed control over my
machine, and naturally has spread to the other strung together stations.
There is so much and at so many times, in different places that it is
literally impossible to ID or isolate / shred ALL the hooks and triggers, and
repeaters, or shadows, or hiddens that have went deep deep, and after much
consult, many hours, a ton of wasted dollars, I either get viewed as an open
book, rather an open wallet, to be told and sold anything and everything OR
As shocking as it is... I get more IT pretenders with no greater insight
than I can and have sought and found on my own in books and chats.
Initial ?'s begin with services and or devices, local and remote becoming
compromised via infections by malicious stuff. I have seen more and more with
my PC and system retooling efforts. IE: Tunneling Psudo Interfaces, msi, ini,
dll and exe files, and many notepad hidden files with .exe for an extension?.
also files with dual extewnsions, as in ____.dll.exe or .msi.exe? In device
manager... for example, while i have one or two NIC adapters showing, when
asking to see all devises, hidden ones too.... Ive seem so many.. 20 or more,
all are enabled and cover UDP, TCP, IPV6, NET, PPPoE... isatap??, and perhaps
the same root, as in WANMiniPort, followd by the ext above. Also, when
seeking settings for screwing the security down tighter, I see features that
are clearly helpful, yet they are greyed over, not accessible, as are some
others that I can and do click on, only to be told I do not have access
privledges, and must see my Admin... well I am the only one who would have,
or could have done anything this complex, this ugly, and this far reaching.
It actually restores anything I can actually try to or briefly succeed at
uninstalling or deleting. Most alarming is that from GeekSquad to independent
IT pros with sterling reputations, all the way up to the particular machines
maker i DID GET improved, but short of compete, and not by a tiny bit, more
like half way, half assed... Ive expressed by issues so many times to so many
different people, with no cemented finish in site.... I am lost, dejected,
exhausted, aggrivated and truely do not know what 2 do, where to go, what to
anticipate.... no one to count on for guidance or perspective... I am not a
stupid man, and I cant imagine I am the ONLY dude wrestling with this./...
Chime in if you can be so kind.
