Cleaning an infected Windows 7 PC

Mon, 2010-02-22 22:38 — blairkenn
After work this evening, a family friend has presented me with a challenge. The challenge, that I have chosen to accept, is to clean and disinfect a brand new Toshiba Satellite L45 with Windows 7 operating system.  Once again, I continue to be floored at the rampant use of administrator rights and only relying upon UAC for protection within Windows. Anyway, here is how I tackled it.  Since the symptoms are recurring after a restart, it is either a bootsector issue or part of the Windows startup sequence.

Canon MP560 Printer

Sat, 2010-02-06 22:33 — blairkenn

 My wife and I were trying to print wedding invitations this afternoon, and discovered that our 1.5 year old HP DJ4160 had decided to stop feeding paper properly.  It is most likely a worn roller.  Anyway, we went out and bought a new printer.  After scanning the selection, we noticed that it is actually difficult to find a home printer without a scanner built in at the big box electronic stores.

Upgraded ESXi 3.5 to vSphere ESXi 4

Tue, 2009-12-29 22:20 — blairkenn

 I upgraded my VMware ESXi 3.5 host this afternoon to VMware vSphere ESXi 4.  The process went smoothly.  I am sure that if I had take the time to read release note or some form of technical documentation, thing may have not been as unnerving.  For instance, the VMFS datastores were not added in when the upgraded host came up.  Not a big deal, and only caused a few moments of angst.  Everything was fine, and a simple add storage operation brought all of my VMs back to life.

 

All in all, a very good experience.
