Eset Nod32 Outlook 2013 glitch

I give up! I had a few clients in north county San Diego having Outlook 2013 problems. It all related to the Eset Outlook plug-ins. Outlook would crash on send. You can turn the plug-ins off, but they turn themselves back on after about a month. Solution, sadly, is to remove Eset, even just the basic Antivirus.

I tried 3 programs I found in an article. Outright- do not install a program called "Duplicate File Finder" by Auslogics. You WILL get junkware.

Of the programs I tried, I got mixed results on how it determined which should be the master folder. Probably works fine between only 2 folders, but I got unexpected and inconsistent results from 3 folders or more.

The winner is free software called VisiPics. It will actually allow you to pick which is the duplicate to move or remove. I've attached the worlds fastest tutorial on how to use it.

Activating Windows 8 on Retail PC Without a Product Key Sticker

In an attempt to further reduce piracy of Windows. Microsoft has allowed manufacturers to hard-code the Windows 8 product key into the motherboard. This is a non-traditional solution. No pseudo-intellectual musing from me on this topic today. Perhaps I will do a follow up on the implications for end users.

Here's how it is done.

1) Reload Windows 8 from certified Microsoft or Recovery disk

2) Download and run RWEverything 

3) Under the "Access" menu, select ACPI

4) Select the "MSDM" tab at the top of the results

5) The product key is displayed here at the bottom. 

6)Copy/Paste into Windows Activation Menu.
