A great Spam program for Outlook

If you are at your wits end like many of you are in San Diego.  This plugin for Outlook works pretty well.  The free version does one inbox and the premium does multiple email inbox's.

Windows 7 Fails to Boot - "autochk program not found, skipping autocheck"

I ran into this issue when cloning a hard drive to solid state recently. This can be caused when cloning a drive with an EFI Windows Boot partition. 

Fixing the issue requires booting into the Windows Diagnostic and Repair menu (DaRT). From there, open a command prompt and type in "regedit" to modify the registry of the cloned Windows install. 

Navigate to HKLM\System\MountedDevices and rename the entire MountedDevices directory. This will cause Windows to reload these entries and your drive should boot into Windows.

2 Google and Microsoft won't call you!

Many of our clients in San Diego report that they have been getting calls from Google or Microsoft.  Sometimes it's unsolicited and sometimes it's the result of a search for tech support and the bad guys post a fake number.  Bottom line, getting Google on the phone is a near impossibility and Microsoft also won't give you tech support for free.  If you wind up with a nice lady like this picture, it's not her and she's not nice! Hang up!
