Contractors employed via umbrella company Parasol Group are increasingly nervous about a multi-day outage of some IT systems used to process payroll, with several suspecting a security attack as the root cause.

A "massive" cyber attack on Ukraine caught the world's eye this morning as the country's foreign ministry said its website, among others, had been taken down by unidentified hackers.
The attack, which took place overnight, saw websites for the foreign ministry, ministerial cabinet, security and defence council, treasury and more being defaced with messages telling Ukrainians that personal data had been stolen and that they should "be afraid and expect the worst. Immediately the whole world thought of Russia; Vladimir Putin's armed forces invaded and occupied Crimea in and according to some is now eyeing up the remaining portion of the ex-Soviet nation.
Until recent unrest in Kazakhstan a very large Russian military presence had been noted in eastern Ukraine, seemingly poised to continue the invasion.

Worrying changes are afoot for e-comics vendor ComiXology as Amazon finally gets round to asserting copy control — meaning no more downloads of unprotected comics, even if you've paid for them.
It looks as if Amazon subsidiary Iconology Inc — which trades as ComiXology — is finally being subsumed, eight years after Bezos' behemoth bought the business. Back in , The Reg expressed concern that ComiXology's own dedicated comic-reading app might be replaced with the Kindle app, and that seems to be finally happening, at some as-yet unspecified time soon. Comixology's latest blog post says that changes are coming in "early Indian IT services giant HCL Technologies has quietly removed some of the controversial clauses from its HR policy revealed by The Reg last week, which required resigning employees to pay back bonuses.
According to the policy, employees who resign are responsible for paying back all the bonus they've received from their last appraisal cycle until their last working day LWD.
A company email detailed that the LWD would be taken as 31 March , so if a staff member leaves on 3rd March , the amount paid from 1st April through to 28th February would be recovered.

Mozilla initially talked of accepting donations via cryptocurrencies but swiftly backtracked, saying the policy would be paused and reviewed.
Anti-malware veteran Norton also came a little unstuck at the same time thanks to inbuilt crypto-mining tech. Microsoft's cloudy storage platform, OneDrive, is a handy solution for mixed fleets.
It happens no matter which of the hundred ways I have connected to the internet, it's not the ISP, It's not the wireless, it's got to be Vista. Anyone know how to fix? Thursday, April 19, PM. Thanks Ramon! I did the same on my new Dell machine and my connection is flying now.
It is ridiculous just how bloated McAfee's products are! Wednesday, April 25, PM. This is a "me too" post just to say thank you to the people on this thread. Thanks all. I did same thing with my Dell, 'slow internet' problem was completely resolved. Thanks for any ideas! Thursday, April 26, PM.
I'm also having slow internet. Mainly during downloads and playing battlefield 2 online. I use to download at kps, now 32 and lower. It's not right!! I use to have McAfee, I uninstalled it because that's what the Vista advisor told me to do.
So I'm still having slow internet download times and crazy lag. I'll try the turn off computer, router, modem, and turn them back on. Monday, April 30, AM. Hello there Tuesday, May 1, AM. Regards Dave. Friday, May 18, PM. Baker - MSFT 0. There are many reasons why slow internet problems can potentially occur, 3rd party products can often create problems as can many many other things.

Thursday, January 3, PM. Hi Guys, my problem is, at start, with Vista, my internet will work fine, but after few minutes.. Saturday, January 5, PM. I have exactly the same issue. Internet speed is fine for a minute or two then slows dramatically on my new Vista machine. My laptop which I am on now conncts fine wirelessly and hardwired to the router. Of course, it runs XP and not Vista.
Guess my next step is to remove the Cox Security Suite on that machine as someone above suggested. I already turned off the anti-phishing filter on both IE and through Cox. No change. Sunday, January 6, PM. I looked into the netsh command on my system last night. Come to find out, mine was already turned off. So I enabled and it was better last night. Not great, but it did improve.
I also upgraded the firmware on my wireless router, but that didn't appear to improve anything. I did find a router compatibility tool on the Microsoft site and ran that and everything came back as 'supported'. So, things have improved over what they were, but still not as quick as I think they should be.
At least it was useable last night. Monday, January 7, PM. I have a problem with the slow Internet too, very much like everyone else. I've never really noticed it 'til lately, but the Internet has been going really crappy slow. Whilst playing online games such as World of Warcraft I get lags or spikes.
Either way you want to put it. It lasts seconds which is enough to annoy anyone in any game or just browsing online! I don't have McAffee, but I have Norton instead. I've tried disabling the things as stated in previous posts, but to no avail. I have yet to try uninstalling the one Windows Update or all the Windows Update patches, though.

Friday, January 11, PM. Thursday, January 31, PM. Same problem on my brand new HP laptop. Thanks so much!!! Relying on the Norton and Windows defender security system with my router and all seems absolutely fine. Friday, February 1, PM. Tuesday, February 5, AM. Thursday, February 14, AM. Okay, I'll bite. Just what is this netsh workaround. I've done a search on the microsoft site, but have been unable to get a clear answer as to what command I need to input.
Saturday, February 23, PM. Saturday, April 12, AM. I have been using Windows Vista Ultimate on my brand new Toshiba A but the net seems to be way toooooo slow and stops responding. Even though my connection is supposed to be ideal but the lights on my router keep on blinking.
Please if anyone knows a solution please email me at dude. Saturday, April 19, AM. Hi all, I just got a new Dell machine on Vista Business and have intermittent cut outs of my internet connection i. Friday, May 30, AM. I run regular clean up of the hard drive but still can't manage the speeds of xp. Really wish I could help! Saturday, May 31, AM.
Don't know if you're still having the problem. My connection slowed to a crawl last night after installing Vista updates. After spending all day trying to figure how what was wrong with my DSL connection, I did two system restores. The first didn't work. The second, going back an additional day before the updates, has everything singing again. I'm ready for a Mac, too. Or Linux. Thursday, June 12, AM. Wednesday, June 25, PM. Thursday, October 9, PM. I've discovered something very interesting about this problem.
Specifically, all of a sudden, looking at the arp cache reveals that my server thinks that a printer is now the default gateway. Not the IP address mind you, just the arp entry.
Checking the arp entry, I found that it was a network printer elsewhere in the office. I turn that printer off, and life is good. It would appear that somehow the server is receiving what it believes to be a proxy arp from the printer on behalf of the default gateway.
Still working with Microsoft to find an answer to this. Will update if I get more information. Tuesday, May 19, PM. That did the trick.
I searched under 'turn off ipv6 vista' and got a step to step response. Now, my internet is screaming fast. Before, all websites would time out and it was very slow.
