AFP Virus Removal

For anyone dealing with an AFP virus which is going around – try this:

Download and burn this to a CD and/or onto a USB: http://www.malwarebytes.org/

If using a usb, ensure that the legacy USB mode is turned on in the BIOS to allow the system to read a USB –NOTE : USB 3 ports may not work with this.

Boot the machine into safe mode and then put the usb / cd in the drive and run the program

See if this fixes the issue

Apparently this is a pretty easy virus to get rid of, but one that’s causing headaches for a lot of AV companies.

Make sure you FORMAT ANY USB DRIVES after using in an infected machine

Adding Network Printers via DOS and Batch File

Adding Network Printers via DOS and Batch File

pretty easy this one.

if the network printer is shared, the command you need is:

start \\servername\printershare

this can be used in batch files as well.

note: if you use the unc path, dos will probably complain in a batch file that the UNC was used and not a mapped dive letter. If you are having troubles with this then just use a net use command to map the drive first.
