Any new rootkits in the last two days
by David Mehler 15 Jun '14

Hello, I have a question, is there any kind of new rootkit or malware released in the last day or so? It effects win7/8 boxes administrator account, what was described to me, the box gets slow, and was shut down. This is win7, was shut down cold then restarted a few minutes later. The user attempted to log in as administrator. Now what makes me suspect rootkit is that the admin password was entered, the system said invalid password, the owner did a login attempt so many times that the admin account locked out. The system was forcefully shutdown, and brought back up. This time administrator logged in successfully, but it went in to what was called a temporary account like a guest account, and stays there. Files are only accessible by the computer icon via start menu. Programs do not work such as word. I'm really thinking rootkit. An AVG antivirus scan was run as was a disk cleanup, both came up with nothing. Any ideas? Thanks. Dave.

also does nvda have to be installed on the remote computer for this to work Sent from my iPhone > On Jun 13, 2014, at 9:35 AM, Barry Toner <Barry.Toner(a)clanmil.org.uk> wrote: > > Hi, > > I posted a couple of weeks ago regarding this. > > Quit your local screen reader, then this free's up the numpad and the other SR keystrokes. > > To get back into local ctrl, alt t for local lock screen, alt t for task manager, then Win Key m to get you onto yoru desktop. Next fire up your screen reader by hitting WinKey plus r, and in my case type NVDA, and thump return. Careful when alt tabbing not to get stuck back in TV.

Hello Katherine I am trying to get our IT security people here to give me access to a SharePoint server in another department. One of those port/firewall things. I am hoping that I will be able to use Windows Explorer to get at the files on the SharePoint server. I am told it is much easier than the web interface.

I and a couple of friends of mine use Sharepoint 2013 for document management and general communications on the front page of the site. I was given the honor of setting up SP, but I ended up having to give the task to my more sighted friend because too much of it was either inaccessible or viewable but nonactive with NVDA. (and I do not know how to use the PS modules for SP.) Even parts of the site itself seem inaccessible with NVDA or any other screen reader for that matter. What are your suggestions for using SP with screen readers?

teamviewer and passing keystrokes to remote side
by Brian Moore 13 Jun '14

HI all. Considering giving up rim in favour of team viewer for remote controling computers. Rim is expensive and has some pretty serious issues if the remote end has another screen reader running, particularly jaws. However, I have a few questions. 1. how do I pass screen reader key strokes to the remote side. typically, this will be nvda key strokes. I must be missing something because even when I execute nvda commands in the remote window, they are acted upon locally. 2. I can not figure out how to end a session with a keyboard. Does anyone do this regularly? if so, wouldn't mind chatting via skype or something and actually experimenting a bit to get this right. thanks for any ideas. Brian. -- Contact me on skype: brian.moore follow me on twitter: http://www.twitter.com/bmoore123
