Microsoft Office 2007 SP2 Microsoft Office 2007 Suite Service Pack 2 (SP2)...
Old Original Article… Way way back in November 2008, I talked about the Microsoft Announcement that they would be giving away a free anti-virus client code-named Morrow. Well, it’s almost a year later, and Microsoft has been busy. On ~June 23rd, 2009 Microsoft announced the product name would be – Microsoft Security Essentials and released the product in Beta with free sign-up for anyone interested in trying out the Beta....
I first read about RockMelt in my newspaper. No, not in an RSS feed–in my dead tree version of the Pittsburgh Post Gazette, via an AP story announcing “Internet pioneer backs new way to surf.” The fact that I read about a new way to surf in the old media raised a flag for me. It meant either A) this revolution would be so freaking huge that the AP would be the one giving it heavy coverage (rather than say, TechCrunch or Arstechnica) or B) this was mainstream news targeted at a non-geeky mainstream audience....

1. Passwords and Protected Backups Locked Forever A backup is another copy of your data, by definition. To keep that data safe, especially when it’s online, you need a password. Preferably that password is unique, so you’re protected when databases get hacked. You might even have enabled two-factor authentication (2FA) (I have it set up on mine). Mistake #1: You’ve forgotten your password. Solution: Record your password and keep it in a safe place....

My screen snips below are from Windows XP and WinZip 11.1. However, the process should be the same for Vista and Winzip 10.x users as well. WinZip 9.0 was the first version of WinZip that began using AES 256 bit encryption, so 9.x users should also be able to take advantage of using WinZip as an encryption tool. So, let’s get right to it. 1. Navigate to the files or folder you wish to zip and encrypt....
What Is HTML? HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language. It defines the layout and structure of a web page using formatting “tags” inside of brackets made up of less than “<” and greater than “>” symbols. Every web page element includes a specific label that tells the browser how to format or structure that section of the page. Thus, an entire web page is simply a series of those elements....
