If they're running MSN Messenger you can always use the remote assistance feature. It has worked well for me in the past having to troubleshoot and diagnose friend & familys PC's. I guess the only catch there is they and you have to be running it as well. Not a solution if you're not running Windows and using that particular IM client.

Too late I'm already running 7 Ultimate x64 :/

red or blue pill... actually if it helps defend their systems then let them do it. As long as they aren't disconnecting me from the internet then fine.

I'm 31 going on 32, I've lost weight, but I guess if something that was life changing didn't happen to me I'd be fitting right in with that 35 years old and fat demographic I suppose.

After an article in MaximumPC magazine that reviewed several IM clients. I downloaded Digsby and when I went to install it I noticed all that crap they wanted to install so I canceled the installation and deleted the installer. I wasn't about to follow through after all that crap they wanted to install. Now I'm glad I didn't try it.

My Linksys never resets when my power goes down...

And it all begins with AT&T blocking 4chan

Lol I was thinking of the same thing. Good ol Fallout!

I agree we're not going to get rid of IE6 for a long time. Seems our IT department is very comfortable with it. Thank goodness for portable Firefox installs.

Well if it wasn't slashdotted...

I as well found the gamecube controller very functional, even without too many buttons you can hit a combo of X+A or Y+A very easily. And I do agree the SNES controller was very comfortable.

So far it's been running very well. I would presume that they should be able to make something that will protect their own operating system after all they did code it.

Keep in mind that we Canadians are taxed to death and pay taxes on almost everything just for this to work.
