OMG. How can these crackers be in charge. Blatantly trying to take away our rights as they continue to destroy Australia. Read and take action while you still can, because if this bill passes, you won't be able to speak up about anything ever again.

Wow, just wow! About the worst catastrophe that can happen has happened. A bug in antivirus software is causing computers around the world to bluescreen and continuously reboot.
If you have CrowdStriike (a leading antivirus product) on your computers then you are in for it.

Initial thoughts on this one make it a nightmare for IT to remedy.
As the computers can't log into Windows, they aren't 'online' so pushing a patch to update and fix the issue is not possible.
Rebooting in safe mode may be difficult for many corporate users, as Bitlocker Drive encryption will want a decryption key, and the user account likely won't have the administrative access required to fix the issue....

Nasty nasty.

If you've got your antivirus from IN2Tech then you're OK - we use Sentinel One, a competitor to CrowdStrike, so you can relax.

Why artificial intelligence is needed in your security arsenal.

In today’s interconnected digital landscape, cybersecurity is more critical than ever.
As cyber threats continue to evolve, traditional antivirus solutions are no longer sufficient to protect against sophisticated attacks.
Enter Artificial Intelligence (AI), a game-changer in the fight against malware, ransomware, and other malicious activities.

The last thing anyone wants is for some clown to break into their computer!

Quick fixes for serious issues!
I turned my system on at 7am this morning yet the computer tells me its been on for 20 hours. We get calls for assistance each day where Outlook isn't opening or similar, and the client has already rebooted but when we check the uptime it says its been on for many days. Doing a forced restart is the fix (a lot of the time) and here is how you do it...

First, close all your applications (documents/outlook/web browsers etc)
Now, press the Windows Key and the 'R' key to launch the RUN window.
Type: shutdown -r -f -t 01
Click the OK button.
This send a command to Shutdown the computer and restart (-r) with a force closure of all services (-f) in 1 second (-t 01).

When the computer comes back up, if you hit CNTRL+Shift+Esc and select the performance tab, your Up time should now be around the 2 minute mark.

So a quick command to force a restart can save you a lot of time and frustration if odd things are happening.

We are seeing some odd things happening with Office 365 licences causing a failure to send or receive emails this week.

What we've found is that in the Apps section of the licensing, the Exchange Online (Plan 1) component is not selected. This is for the mailbox part of the subscription and is why emails are failing to be sent/received. Ticking the Exchange Online (Plan 1) box and saving the change restores access. Note that the mailbox has to be activated in the backend and this will take anywhere from 3 minutes to 40 minutes.

Cause is unknown and appears random with a single user of a domain being affected whilst others are fine.

If your email is with us, just call the office and we'll sort it out
