Office 2010 32 bit or 64 bit.

Microsoft`s final release of Office 2010 is due next month.  Most users with 64 bit machines will dive straight in and choose to install the 64 bit version.  Before doing so, read the following Microsoft recommendations.


The recommendations for which edition of Office 2010 to install are as follows:
  • If users in your organization depend on existing extensions to Office, such as ActiveX controls, third-party add-ins, in-house solutions built on previous versions of Office, or 32-bit versions of programs that interface directly with Office, we recommend that you install 32-bit Office 2010 (the default installation) on computers that are running both 32-bit and 64-bit supported Windows operating systems.

  • If some users in your organization are Excel expert users who work with Excel spreadsheets that are larger than 2 gigabytes (GB), they can install the 64-bit edition of Office 2010. In addition, if you have in-house solution developers, we recommend that those developers have access to the 64-bit edition of Office 2010 so that they can test and update your in-house solutions on the 64-bit edition of Office 2010.

Off topic.......configuring the zmodo ZP-IBi-13W camera to work with Blue Iris Software.

You will need to find the cameras wireless ip address.   If possible set this statically by connecting to the cameras IP address using internet explorer.   .. http://ip-of-camera.. .   Note it does not work with Firefox of chrome. Once working you need to install Blue Iris Software on a machine which can contact the cameras.   Usually this will be sitting on the same network but it will work over a router network providing   the required ports are allowed Blue Iris Installation Load up the Blue Iris Software and Add a new camer

Apple MAC Fake Virus Alert

Similar to the windows fake AV alerts, MAC users have now been targeted with a fake AV scam. After visiting an infected site, the software scans the users hard disk and reports on viruses found. Users are then given the opportunity to purchase remedial AV software, thus parting with credit card information. The trick here is that is can masqurade as the legitimate MAC Defender application making the users less suspicious about the warnings. Apple Mac users have been adviced to disable a setting in the Safari browser that allows "safe" files to be automatically installed. Full details on removing and preventing this malware can be found here. Apple MAC Malware Removal

Evolution

I've just spent some time out watching my favourite comedy movies, the original Pink Panther films. Made over 30 years ago, these films relied on primitive effects which in my opinion made the visual jokes even better. What strikes me is the lack of technology available back in those days. No "real" computers, offices with computerless desks and everything but fancy televisions being the focal point of furnished rooms. I am old enough to remember the days without computers and the thrill of the ZX-81 computer being released, and no google to find out the answer to just about anything. So what am I going on about here.....? Well, in essence it is all about the evolving threats, how we must be open minded and keep up with what is happening around us. Security back in those days was limited to the necessity of keeping information locked up in a secure filing cabinet in a guarded room. A basic security strategy, but one which could be regarded as effective under the c
