    I am right or wrong to be alarmed at this tech support advice?

    cspillman. I guess that is true, I have no way to know if they were intentionally leaving off the more secure (but lengthier) solution of either using trusted sites or resetting the switch back to prompt/disable. I guess it is more of a quality issue than ethics and I hope to address that with...

    I am right or wrong to be alarmed at this tech support advice?

    dennisbbb - I don't think anything in my posts suggest I am laughing at them. Quite the opposite from laughter. I am alarmed at what they are offering up to their customers as solutions. This was an email support case, so I was not on the phone expecting an instant answer. It was 3 business...

    I am right or wrong to be alarmed at this tech support advice?

    That is what I did, but only because I knew their advice wasn't a good solution.

    I am right or wrong to be alarmed at this tech support advice?

    If I blindly followed the tech support's advice to enable unsigned ActiveX, I would never be prompted at ANY website. I think that is where I am having an issue with the advice they gave. They fixed their web portal's problem, but opened my computer up to other (possibly malicious) websites in...

    I am right or wrong to be alarmed at this tech support advice?

    I had difficulty accessing a tech support web portal for a product we use. They have updated the webportal for the maintenance agreement and I couldn't log on. I was getting an error about XP not being able to install certificate from "unknown publisher". I emailed their support and this is the...

    Team Player or not?

    Is Junior neglecting (or pushing aside) primary job duties in order to shine brighter in the administrator job functions? If that is the case, then Junior is not being a team player. If Junior is doing all those duties and still has time for more duties, then DrJavaJoe has a good idea - find...

    Should Employees Pay for Broken/Lost Equipment?

    We were in a similiar situation, having both phones and computers. We started comparing notes with other departments and the same folks that were breaking phones/computers, were losing dollies and wrecking vehicles. Were they careless or just didn't care? This awareness led to upper management...

    Historical reports

    Is it possible that the reports in the list are in a different "reports" folder than the one where you deleted files? When I upgraded to a new version, it created a second installation folder "Watchguard 7.21" folder. My new reports are in that folder, but my older reports are in the original...

    Public folder - shared contacts

    Double check that the shared folder properties has the "show as Outlook Address book" check marked by Right clicking the folder icon and choosing properties. If that is correctly marked, I would delete her profile and recreate and see if the problem is resolved.

    Two accounts within Outlook

    I have multiple exchange mailbox accounts, although they are all for the same company. When I reply, I have a FROM field and I choose the account I want shown as the sender of the message. The from field is not displayed in Outlook by default, but is available under the view menu. Maybe that...

    Looking to update GroupShield from 5.2 to 6.0.1

    It does detect the spam and sends it to either users junk folder or public junk folder. You can tweak the threshold for detection and the default filtering works. I have not added any custom policies or added any additional filters. Tech support says it will learn what is valid mail over time...

    Groupshield v60 License expired error & Update error ??

    I had the same problem, but get a different error. It says "Failed to start running task" when I try to run the update. I have a support case logged with mcafee. When I updated my virus scan 7 that runs on that server, it updated the groupshield dats. There is a help article on the mcafee...

    Looking to update GroupShield from 5.2 to 6.0.1

    I just went from 5.2 to 6 on Groupshield. The groupshield interface is very different. All the features are there, but different ways to get them configured. There is an upgrade guide on the website that you will want to look at prior to installing. I uninstalled 5.2 and then installed 6. After...
