My Deployment Project is creating a subform under C:\ProgramData and I can get my files installed there no problem...

My question is how do I configure networking and the firewall to allow the reverse ftp-data connection to come back from the ftp server to the vista computer? I tried disabling the firewall entirely by...

I'm using Vista but not sharing any folders at all on my unsecured wireless network. However, could a hacker in my apartment complex still access the hard drive's files if my admin password is blank (since I never set the admin pw up), or even just another way, even though I don't share any folders?

I use Avast and AdAware on my XP netbook, my wife's Vista laptop and my W7 notebook. PC Mag and PCworld give Avast top ratings. No mention of AdAware, although last year PC Mag said both were top picks. Both mags give Microsoft Security Essentials mediocre ratings. Consumer Reports gives Microsoft Security Essentials thumbs up, but what do they know compared to PC Mag or PCworld. I would...

I am working with a PC that has account and password issues so the user is blocked from accessing his files. I have tried Orphcrack on the system but it's not showing any passwords.
