  2. Computer gurus - attack!

    malwarebytes or vipre antivirus. also, if xp- run the restore utility... it'll make the system usable in regular mode (not safe mode)... It's located in c:\windows\system32

  5. Ripped-Paper Font

    I'm trying to recreate a logo, they want a font where the letters look like they have slightly jagged edges, like ripped paper... Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
  6. How to remove keyloggers

    www.vipreantivirus.com handles keyloggers (a variant of spyware), viruses and other forms of malware... all in one. also, uses a TON less CPU and RAM than it's competitors... it's all I'll ever use.
  7. Happy Birthday Bigdawg!!

    Happy Birthday!
  8. Always back up

    I agree with the first part, a rackable 2u with 4 1TB in RAID10 is the solution we chose, although it's overkill for most/all shops... but is relatively cheap. Like I said earlier, rsync from local storage to remote to have both local and remote storage, as it will cover nearly all scenarios...
  9. 6' x 8' Banner

    Seaming it may be a good option (we've done it before), but also consider outsourcing... We send our big banners out of house- frees up the machine for other work and provides a higher quality product.
  10. Always back up

    encrypt your usb drive and don't leave it out on the kitchen counter... problem solved. i'm not concerned about someone walking into a dc and taking the hardware, rather being on the same node as an idiot with easily-compromised software, or the server software itself being compromised. it...
  11. Always back up

    there's one way to find out... boot from the second drive. it may end up being a waste of 5 minutes, but could save you a few hours. online backup is a good option, but not as secure as having your own USB drive/server. data can be compromised easily, especially with cloud computing backup. i...
  12. Always back up

    I'm putting my money on a drive going bad... Journaled HFS is just about as stable as Ext3/4.
  13. Always back up

    ooh, for mac.... i do the same thing but also have a usb HD caddy with a 2.5" HD, have super duper running every week or so... might try that, would be much quicker (just change the boot drive in system preferences) a hard drive is a hard drive, same hardware as in any other computer
  14. Always back up

    www.clonezilla.org I don't reinstall, I reimage based on my last good backup. Did a restore for a client a few weeks ago with 160 GB in use, took 35 mins. My estimate is based on my HD usage, ymmv. To speed up your restores, use a multi-tiered approach to backup with a separate...
  15. Ink cost per Square Foot?

    This, and if you have Flexi 10 (possibly other programs as well) you can choose "Estimate" in production manager, it'll give you a good idea of what your ink costs are.
  16. Always back up

    Quick/Easy way is what we do... All files are replicated real-time to a server downtown with a brick level backup (clonezilla) that I update when major changes are made. Getting everything back to normal is a 15-20 minute deal. If you'd like to go a bit further and contain your own data at...
  17. Sudden, continual, unanswered Coroplast Quality Issues

    Never had a problem before, but this prompted me to check... I've got 10 sheets of 10mil that I just received, they're square and 48.5"x97.75". Better over than under...
