The most recent version of Symantec Endpoint Protection (not Norton Antivirus) has a function that warns you if a file you downloaded with a certain MD5/SHA1 digest is known to be malicious, even if it doesn't contain a virus as-such. It does this by submitting the filename and the digest to …

in DOS
As to the previous comment about our vendor. The conversion route is the one our vendor advocates but its not a simple process. We have to recompile all our software and then modify some of it to fit in with the new environment. Also there is a lot of finding solutions to all the DOS workarounds …

Really, at this point you need to be talking to your software vendor, and asking for them to pick up their game. Workarounds are no good for mission-critical software. They can't be relied upon.

It is solid and stable, for sure. I had XP x64 on my Q6600 for ages back in the day. I guess the most noticeable improvement is that Win7 is a lot smoother with lots running than XP ever was, it's much clever-er about assigning one application's thread to CPU cores that share cache pools to improve …
