Orion NPM is designed for detecting network outages. It guides you through troubleshooting by indicating whether the root cause is a broken link, faulty equipment or resource overload. Because it produces network-centric views, it is intuitive to navigate, and as result you can see easily what's working and what's not.


Perhaps Orion's best feature is the way it suggests solutions. Moreover, if problems arise out of the blue, then you can configure Orion NPM 9.5 to notify members of your team what's changed and how to fix it.


If you are interested in testing a professional performance monitor on your network, then I recommend that you take advantage of Solarwinds' offer of a download a free trial of Orion NPM 9.5.

I don't think that should be there 😉
 
UAC has always seemed pointless to me, but maybe that's because I have (not-so-)common sense. Just by actually looking at what I'm installing and realizing that a website can't be, "scanning my computer for viruses," I haven't been infected by a virus in years. Litterally. Years.

And my anti-virus has only popped up a few times - and only when I was wary of the file(s) to begin with. Heck, I could uninstall my AV and just use one of the well-known online file scanners (I don't think I'm allowed to say name).

99.9% of malware can be blocked with common sense.

Don't stick your mouse pointer where you wouldn't stick your unmentionables. That bit of advise has kept my family clean for years.
 
I've been annoyed by the Windows 7 UAC for months now, and will turn it off once I get a full copy. There is no point whatsoever in asking me EVERY SINGLE TIME I open up CCleaner (and most other programs I use frequently) if I want to allow that program to make changes to my computer. If I've already said, "Yes", and the program hasn't changed, what is the point except to persistently annoy me, like that stupid paper clip used to in Word?

ZoneAlarm warns that a particular program is trying to access the internet, but only if the program has changed. Why can't Microsoft, with all its trillions of dollars of resources, figure out how to do this too?
 
Don't you guys just yearn for the days of Dr Thomas Pabst running this site with decent ground-breaking reveiews before these ad-centric piles of crappola became all the rage. Come back Dr Tom, all is forgiven.
