thanks for the input buddy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
ye, spy ware is a real problem. so is netmeeting,these
idiots make a vpn tunnel to there computers at home, and
just take all our programs from the server. so we tryed
the roll back on reboot, like u said, BUT, games, games
have updates, and patches. so, when the computers roled
back, the patches were gone, makeing the user re download
the patches for there game. its the same deal-e-o with
windows updates. we use xp, (dont ask why, my boss is an
idiot.) for all the computers. so we had the xp bug haunt
us for days, cuzz we fixed the problem, but then windows
rolled back. so we tryed configureing wondos to only roll
back on certian things, but that caused our fire wall to f
up. we fixed it, but people still down load crap even if
they didnt want to. they get crap like spyware in worm
form from cookies, random viruses such as "card games" or
my fav, the one that makes your registary into a pink
clown when u go to access it. roll backs dont work. we
cant block cookies, if we did, we would be bankrupt. aND
SINCE ITS on a net work, one is all it takes. the smaller
programs, card games ect are a real pain. we have a fire
wall we bought from the gov't, but it makes gaming and
internet speed a drag. encryption is to high. so we use a
cicso modle that they dont even make anymore cuzz lyksys
baught em. anyways, any ideas about the small programs?
