Converting images to icon files

I recently needed to convert a .jpg image into an .ico file. There is a quick and easy method to do this using the following website:

Just browse to the image file on your local drive and the website will upload it, convert it, scan it for viruses and malware and provide you with a link to download the .ico file.

HOWTO: Install Symantec Corporate Edition with latest definitions

Take three files from the installation distribution.

Data1.cab
Symantec AntiVirus.msi
VDefHub.zip

go to Symantec, get the latest definitions

ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/antivirus_definitions/norton_antivirus/

Specifically look for a filename that ends in -i32.exe: 20091213-20-i32.exe

Note: Do not use xxxxxxxxv5i32.exe they will not work.

Extract the contents of the .exe (eg. using WinRAR), remove VIRSCAN.ZIP from and rename it to VDefHub.zip

replace the file in your installation folder.

Ok, you're all set. use this command, it installs silent, no reboot
"Symantec AntiVirus.msi /passive RUNLIVEUPDATE=0 REBOOT=REALLYSUPPRESS

Stop the Adobe Flash Player from checking for updates

An IT administrator is able to configure the Adobe Flash Player to prevent it from checking for updates on the internet. This is achieved using the mms.cfg file located in C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash (NOTE: you will need to manually create the file using Notepad).

Instructions on the configuration options can be found here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/167/16701594.html

Another link that may come in handy is the Flash Player Settings Manager found here:
