A 19GB Outlook .pst file. December 3, 2011
Posted by very in : Microsoft, Resources, Tech, Troubleshooting, Windows , add a commentI’ve been getting a lot of calls regarding unresponsive Microsoft Outlook. After a few troubleshooting, I found out two of the callers have a 19GB .pst file. So what I’m doing right now is archiving the folders based on the date.
After the archiving done, it is necessary to compact the current working folder. It will reduce the size of the .pst file.

Malware Alert: Cloud AV 2012 November 26, 2011
Posted by very in : Announcement, News, Resources, Security, Tech, Troubleshooting, Windows , add a commentOn Wednesday November 23rd, 2011; the day before Thanksgiving Day I received a call.
“Hey, just want to let you know I was using my computer and Cloud AV 2012 just installed itself.”
Yeah, that’s a Malware.
I was getting ready for my Thanksgiving trip, so I had to work on this malware problem later. Bleeping Computer has a great instructions on removing Cloud AV 2012.
I am documenting what I’m doing to remove Cloud AV 2012.
- I want to know if Combofix can completely remove Cloud AV 2012. I ran Combofix in Safe Mode with Networking. It took about 15 minutes for Combofix to find some malware and removing them, unfortunately it is not enough.
- The next step is to run Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware.
- I ran Spybot – Search and Destroy to clean up whatever part of malware it can find.
- I ran Combofix again, and it found a few leftover Cloud AV 2012 files.
- Reboot the computer a few times and so far I do not see any suspicious activities.
I’m going to put this computer on quarantine for a few days and see if Cloud AV 2012 is completely gone.

Posted by very in : Apple, Microsoft, News, Resources, Tech, Windows , add a commentWhen running windows on virtual machine is not enough, I fired up Boot Camp on the Mac mini to install Windows 7.
Previously I was running Windows in Parallels 7, unfortunately there are some hardware that wouldn’t interface correctly in the virtual machine.
