Antivirus that won’t slow down your computer

Posted on July 7, 2012 by admin

I have been looking for a good antivirus program that will not slow down your computer. I finally found one – http://www.immunet.com. This FREE antivirus program is very lightweight and works well even on older PC’s without a lot of ram and CPU. It also bundles the tried and true Clam AV for the more traditional antivirus scans.

It is cloud based, and uses the power of its network to find malware that would go undetected with other antivirus solutions. They scan each file as it is placed on your system and send the hash to their servers in the cloud. The hash is compared against their database. This allows them to use file reputation to prevent viruses from slipping through encrypted and undetected.

Best of all, it is free!.

iSCSI target not bound after reboot. Server 2003

Posted on April 9, 2012 by admin

I wondered about this one for a while. Every time this certain 2003 server was rebooted, I had to manually bind the target. How annoying.

Today I found out why. Recently, I had converted the iSCSI disk to a windows “Dynamic Disk” so I could easily expand the disk later as needed. The disk stopped mounting automatically after that.

Unfortunately, some googling revealed that server 2003 does not support persistently bound iSCSI disks if the disk is a Dynamic Disk! It is supported in server 2008 but not server 2003. Just one more reason to upgrade.

Before you try anything else, just restart IIS. It worked for me. Of course, I tried a lot of other things because nobody mentioned this, and it was a production file server at a small business and I didn’t want to interrupt work.

ypbind – domain name not set

Posted on March 19, 2012 by admin

This one drove me bonkers. NIS refused to start with a cryptic “domain name not set”. Nothing seemed to fix it. I stumbled upon this:

/bin/nisdomainname yourdomain.com

That fixed it for me. Obviously substitude yourdomain.com for your real domain.

How to create an .ISO file using Mac OS X

Posted on February 4, 2012 by admin

You can create CD and DVD images using disk utility. However, those disk images are formatted using a MAC format that will not be recognizable in Windows, and requires special drivers in linux.

Fortunately you can work around this. First open disk utility and create a DVD or CD disk image. Drag your files into this disk that will appear on your desktop. “Eject” the disk when done, and open a terminal and type this command:

hdiutil makehybrid -iso -joliet -o myCD.iso myCD.cdr

I thought mac was supposed to be easy? I wonder why this isn’t built into disk utility?
