hacking through shared internet connection? by M
I share an internet connection with some renters in my house. I want to know whether there's any chance that they could hack into my computer through our shared internet and see some of the websites I've accessed. I've sent confidential information online (i.e. credit card info) and I don't want them (or anyone) to be able to see that. I've got windows vista, and updated anti-virus and...

Blockage of Download by Mike
I get the message "Your current security setting do not permit you to download this file". It is a pdf file, a bulletin from a church. Why is it being blocked and how do I stop it from occurring. I get no option to override it.

Downloads disappearing; cannot save attachments. by JohnMcG
I had my wife's account set up as Administrator. I set it back to standard user. Since then, whenever we download a file through IE7, it seems to work (downloads to 100%), then the dialog disappears, and the file is not in the target location. It seems like it gets moved, since if I download to the Desktop, I see an icon, that then disappears. Restoring the account to Administrator did...

Can't click on bank login link by onemulligan
I am using Windows Vista Premium and IE7. I can no longer click on my banks login link. I have two other banks and can click on their login with no problem. After many hours I know it is not a IE7 problem but something in my computer. Has anyone heard of this happening and how to fix it? Also, can't connect to Quicken to download transactions and I think the two problems are connected. I...

Error 0x80501001 in by fairyreveries
Hi I wanted to know what the error 0x80501001 is and why is it when I go to remove something that Windows defender detects that I get this message with the following error. I then rescan (did that at least 3 times) like it suggested and yet it doesn't get rid of the file. Would quarentine be a better option that remove all? Please help!

Access to raw devices by Graham Wharton
Can anyone tell me how I can access raw devices in vista. Currently vista is stopping me doing legitimate work on my PC that I could do with ease under windows XP. The things I am trying to do is. Use syslinux to make a USB attached compact flash card bootable. Access the said USB stick through vmware as a raw physical disk.

Security Center weird behaviour by Moody Marco
Suddenly today Security Center on my Vista PC has started acting funny - it says "No antivirus software found" despite NOD32 being installed and up-to-date. It also says Windows Defender is turned off, but when I click Turn On, it says "checking for new definitions", then says "Definitions already up to date", but it remains saying "Turned off". If I open Windows Defender manually, it...

Disable the need for Signed Drivers on X64 Vista? by Bhozar
Is it possible to disable the need for Signed Drivers on the 64bit version of Vista? "bcdedit /set loadoptions DDISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS" no longer works, and F8 and selecting to disable it doesnt seem to work either as when I install VMWare Server the driver install still fails. So is there any way to disable the need for signed drivers just to install this software, or for good?
