Malware disables executable files, Program not found ETC

I hate spyware/virus programs that hook into windows shell. Although, I guess it benefits my bank account. I use a tool from norton/symantec to replace them in one fell swoop. Simply save the inf file to your desktop, right click and install. ALl you have to do now is get rid of the rest of the spyware. Or if your worst buy you have already told the customer that you need to format and backup data. $$$$$$$$$ In worst buy's case, the less you know the more money you make....

Who crashed me? Find out why windows is crashing

There is a free "home" version that deciphers the minidumps that windows creates when it detects a crash. I recommend this software for anyone trying to decipher what piece of hardware or driver software is causing the failure.

Google Voice Invite wanted

I do not know anyone who personally uses google voice. However, I keep searching eBay for a google voice account with my area code. I cannot afford to pay $250 for a brand new invite on eBay. I have this feeling that as soon as I pay for an invite, the google voice service will allow me to get an invite for free and my money will have gone to waste.

Anyone on the fence about buying an invite? I wish i had the right connections...

Http website debugging tool - Fiddler

Your ISP is blocking traffic. However, the ISP gurus are blaming your router, computer, or even the color of your hair. Who is at fault? The best way to tell is to run a tracert or debug it. The best tool I found is called fiddler. Has anyone found any other tools that work better?

Paypal Pitney Bowes Shipping First Class Mail

I use this link quite often to print shipping first class mail shipping labels from USPS. It also works with UPS. It is very convenient as paypal has my payment information already loaded in. I have to manually change the payment source to credit card as paypal tries to make it convenient to pay shipping charges with a CC.

My google mail will not open, Activex problems.

I had a customer complain that her email was not working. I checked out the email on my side of the world and everything was working great. Since it worked great for me, it must have been something wrong with her computer. I was right, when she logged into the webmail client it was throwing an error and sending her back to the sign in page.

" Gmail requires ActiveX controls to be enabled. Your browser seems to be IE and ActiveX seems to be disabled.”

I checked the settings in internet explorer. They all checked out. It turns out, a file needed to run activex in internet explorer was unregistered after the customer's last bout of spyware removal. msxml3.dll
To fix I simply:

Clicked the 'Start' button in Windows.
Selected 'Run.'
Entered 'regsvr32 msxml3.dll' in the 'Open:' field,
Clicked 'Ok'
