I’m sorry that doesn’t work at all for a Medion windows 7. Any other suggestions? Something to run to look for software conflicts maybe. Thank. Cheers. :)

I use my pc to type documents and go to a cybercafe once in a while to send emails. Is there an antivirus software that I can download in the cybercafe to my thumbdrive and install in my pc? I’ve tried downloading AVG and Zonealarm but the cybercafe computer will not allow me to save the download into my thumbdrive. Hope you can get back to me soon. Thanks.

Then I format the disks, check them for bad sectors and use Winimage to rewrite the image files back to refresh them.

]]> Comment on Have You Checked Out the Password Meter? by Chris Parker http://askthegeek.kennyhart.com/have-you-checked-out-the-password-meter/#comment-393 Chris Parker Tue, 24 May 2011 17:16:41 +0000 http://askthegeek.kennyhart.com/index.php/2009/09/01/have-you-checked-out-the-password-meter/#comment-393 I noticed a problem with your password meter page. The row for repeat characters says the formula is “-(n(n-1))”, when in fact you calculate it as “-(n*n)”, and worse yet, you display it as “-n”. For example, use a string I found on another page: “hello123##KHG”. You’ll see that the page gives a score of 77, but if you add up the scores in the columns you get 107. And if the displayed formula is correct, the real score should be 83.

Thanks for the meter though – I’m writing a Java version for internal use, and took the liberty of following your formula. And I’m crediting the page in the API documentation :) .

The linux is missing for some reason.

Does anyone know of currently available bootable thumb drive for virus scanning, malware bootable utility?
