Good morning listers, I have a system which needs rebuilt and I have access to an xp pro cd. What is the best way to install without sighted assistance? I want to reformat the drive and start over. Thanks Rick

avast4 home edition, submitting sample and possible root kit
by David Mehler 12 Dec '09

12 Dec '09

Hello, My first question is is anyone using avast4 home edition on their workstations? I am and about ten minutes ago i got a pop up indicating a hidden rootkit was discovered by huristic means, i quarantined it and there was a checkbox to submit the sample. I kept it checked and hit ok. I didn't get any feedback indicating the sample had been sent or form to fill out for contact. Second question is how can i be sure this thing went in? It might be a false positive i'm not sure. My machine has been periodically slow on the internet for the past day or so, but that's infrequent and now that i'm thinking about it it might be either something or overreaction. Finally, what does everyone use for workstations for detecting rootkits? Thanks. Dave.

Is it still a license violation to use NLight and VLight in a corperate setting? I'd be interested in playing with it, but don't want to upset people when I do.

Re: [Blind-sysadmins] Anyone tried out the XP virtual machine for Windows 7 with JFW/We?
by Ryan Shugart 11 Dec '09

Andrew: I've tried it with Window-eyes, and it works, but badly. It basically sets up an XP VM, and you RDP into that with a special client. The virtual synnthesizer doesn't work so speech is sluggish, and Window-eyes doesn't pass commands through properly either.

Hi, At work running Windows 7 X64. Looking at trying the compatibility pack for XP, which deploys an XP image on your Windows 7 box. Just wondering whether it supports the use of a screen reader (like JFW or WindowEyes)? Thanks.

Hello, Is anyone running OpenSuse 11.2 in either a virtual machine or on a physical box? If so, please contact me. I've got to use it to start a project and am finding it unmanageable. Thanks. Dave.
