Dear Laura,
I am running two Windows XP PCs at home in a workgroup. Both are 2.5 GHZ Celeron with 760MB Ram. One is hosting two shared apps. One is database lookups and the other app is Web based. If I try to access this app from a non-hosting machine, it is very slow. What could be causing this?

Patch management is a shared burden, research finds
A new age of worms and malicious virus attacks has the patch management software market moving at a feverish pace, but new research from the Burton Group cautions that the patch is by no means a be-all, end-all "magic pill" for enterprise security. |

| Tip of the Week: |
| Administrators trying to come up with a proactive way to block spyware from infesting workstations often have to make difficult choices. Restricting the functionality of IE to prevent spyware from taking root can be cumbersome. Third-party programs require installation and maintenance to be useful. Switching to another browser doesn't always resolve the problem, either, as there are now breeds of spyware that operate
through Netscape/Mozilla as well. Check out this registry hack which solves the problem without IE changes. |
