Hey everyone,

I am doing a bit of research on centralized antivirus solutions for ~10 unit networks with active directory servers.

I am finding it real difficult to find any kind of reviews on the various products out there and was hoping my fellow LJ's could share their opinions and experiences.

I've been testing AVG's network based packages, but I am finding their licensing confusing as well as their install processess.

So I went to look into the granddaddy Symantec and started reading up on their small office AntiVirus 10 groupware packages.

According to the marketing material, it seems ideal for these kind of networks, central installation, licenses based on # of users, client software comes with main package, etc.

But thats all marketing info. Has anyone used this software before? Symantec doesn't provide trials of it.

Hi you guys, hope you're all well. :)

I've got a slight problem that I can't seem to fix by myself. googling hasn't gotten me anywhere, nor has the AIM help site thing.


I upgraded AIM this afternoon, and when I got home tonight, I kept getting kicked/reconnected about every 10 minutes. I ran adscans, spyscans, virus scans, nothing came up. Ran HijackThis, and here's the log, hopefully one of you would be so kind as to tell me what to get rid of, if anything.



Thanks for your time! :)

I cannot check Gmail. When I try to get to the Gmail.com page, Firefox says "The connection was refused while trying to contact www.google.com . But I can get onto Google just fine, I can't get to Gmail. And I can't log onto Google Talk, either.

I can get onto LJ just fine. I can get on AIM. I just can't check my Gmail.

I was online last night and it worked fine, then my sister got online [which is something I say a lot because it's always after she's on that something goes wrong] and she couldn't get to Yahoo Mail because Norton Internet Security launched the Parental Controls and blocked Yahoo, saying "Norton Antivirus blocked the page http://mail.yahoo.com" or something like that. So I went around and reset the accounts to allow Yahoo Mail and it was fine, so I thought. But when I got back on, I couldn't access Gmail. I cleared my cache, cookies, passwords, history, and rebooted. I ran MSCONFIG and set my startup to run all the programs it ran when I bought the computer, because I'd set it yesterday to not run anything it didn't need to. I thought that would make it better, but I didn't notice a change at all. I tried using IE, Mozilla, and Netscape after that. They all said "The connection was refused while trying to contact www.google.com" except for IE which pulled up a "This page could not be displayed" page.

When I got online this morning, my DSL box said that everything was connected and running, but Firefox would not load anything, AIM would not connect, and Google Talk still wasn't working. I restarted again and tried Firefox again and still no Gmail. LJ is fine, AIM is fine, GTalk is still not working.

Scratch that, GTalk just started working right now and told me I have 7 emails. I tried to check them through a link GTalk, but it said "The page you requested is invalid."

I'm completely stumped. I just bought this computer, a Compaq at Circuit City [I don't remember the model, but it was $374 which was all I had enough for] two weeks ago and have had problems with it since I bought it. I have an old eMachines that ran Win95 when I bought it, and even though it was on the fritz all the time, it is running better than this computer is, but it's not connected to the internet, so that might be what's making it go faster.

Does anyone have any idea what could be blocking me from using Gmail?

[Edit: It is now working, after trying for an hour. I've always had a problem on this computer with it not starting Gmail when I first connect. Is that a normal problem or is there any way to fix it?]

The history:
Several months back I was looking for a certain model for a certain hair-do for a friend. I clicked around many different Web sites and links and whatnot. All of a sudden, while on a page, I started getting bombarded with pop-ups. Normally pop up blockers work for me. Then, even if not online (well, technically, having DSL means always being connected, but...) like if I'm in, say, Word, I get pop-ups! I told a co-worker, who has a lot more experience than I, and she said to run Norton, Anti-Spy, delete cookies, empty trash and restart. She said deleting my cookies every night would fix it. Wrongola. It helps a little, but not totally. When I ran Norton, there was a file it said was bad, and then it couldn't delete it. I recently noticed the toolbar on Internet Explorer is not something I put there. I had downloaded the Yahoo toolbar for the Anti-Spy thing, and it's totally gone! I downloaded it again. Gone again after restarting. So last night when Norton ran, it found the file again, and I caught trojan.elitebar or something along those lines...and isn't there a trojan virus??

So, am I totally screwed? Or is there a way to fix me?

Just a tip for windows users installing the new iTunes 5. Upon installing your computer might reboot itself automatically, uninstall your previous version of iTunes, and make it so that your music files can't be accessed. Before some of you chew me out, lots of people are experiencing the same things and are expressing their rage on the Apple discussion boards. A solution to the problem is turning off your anti-virus/spyware software before installing and everything should be fine.

Hi everyone,

I'm a total newbie, and I have a question about web counters/trackers. Is there any web counter software (particularly something free) that you would recommend? My boss wants something that will track not just individual hits, but individual users (who may or may not have repeat visits), repeat visits, etc. I've done a search on Google and found quite a few free ones, but I want to be sure there isn't a hidden cost to them (pop-ups, viruses, whatever).

Something free is best, but if you know of a company that sells a really good counter/tracker, I'd be happy to hear about that too.

And as a last resort, is it difficult for somebody who knows web design (not me!) to come up with one on their own?

I'm afraid this may be an elementary question; so I apologize in advance if it is, or if it's been discussed before (please provide the link!), or appears in a community FAQ (I couldn't find one -- if it exists, please let me know).

I am looking for a Free or Cost Effective Network Monitoring package. It can run on either Windows 2000 Server or FreeBSD/Linux preferred. Right now I love the fact that if there is a virus outbreak or my firewall is compromised, or we have a “spyware/greyware” problem I get an email stating this right to my Treo. I would love for something to monitor services on various servers or even if the servers are up and running. Internally we have apache, samba and DNS. Externally I need to monitor FTP, Apache, DNS, Sendmail. These neverreally fail but would like to keep an eye on them, and actually if the server itself has a problem and goes down. We also have a 2K server running various applications here my concern is if the server is really up more or less.

So I unplugged a perfectly fine computer from home and brought it to my school... plugged it into all the lines that my old computer was plugged into. For some odd reason this computer from home is skipping. Whenever I have a lot of programs open and/or when I'm near or at 100% of CPU usage under ctrl-alt-del, my computer just freezes for a split second. IT is ESPECIALLY annoying because I have music on 24/7 and it skips like a mofo... I know it's not because of the low RAM because only 4 days ago when I was using this computer at home, it was running BEAUTIFULLY. So what is the reason? Is it the different power cord? Did something fall out of the computer during the move? Do I have a virus? I would appreciate ANY help! Thanks in advance!

My AVG has a scheduled scan to run at 8am every morning, it did that today and ding'ed to let me know that I had a virus. There was a trojan horse Dropper.Generic.AGX in C:/Program Files/AIM/backup/uninstall.exe —i deleted the .exe (I can just re-dl AIM again if I need the uninstaller) and just wanted to know if a.) i definately got rid of the infection and b) if anyone knew of what the virus is. ive googled, came up dry, and this is rather odd since I never get virus'. not since the sasser when I installed back in June.


any help is appreciated.



eta; ive noticed notepad.exe is running slow, when that program never does. its too small to run slow. in any case, ive noticed that for two days and figured it'd stop once i stopped downloading a torrent. never did stop lagging. dont know if that has anything to do with it.
