We just had a customer bring in a computer that wasn’t able to load any websites using Google Chrome. He was getting the “Aw Snap” error everytime he tried to load a web page. I almost gave up when I noticed he had a program called WinASO Registry Optimizer on his Desktop.
WinASO Doesn't Play Nice With Google
The customer ran the registry optimizer right before the problem started. It was just by chance that I saw the time stamp on the registry backup. I did a restore within the WinASO program and rebooted the computer. The “Aw Snap” error was gone. Apparently WinASO doesn’t play nicely with Google Chrome.

Recently I’ve had the opportunity to use MailProtector in a production environment. I’ve got to admit it does block spam, NDR attacks, and viruses. It has a beautiful user interface and useful support documents. What it doesn’t have is 24 hour support. Which I’m not accustomed to any SaaS not having after hours support. A lot of my clients were using Appriver SecureTide when I arrived at Redmagnet. Appriver SecureTide backs their service with 24/7 support. Sure Appriver’s user interface is ugly, but I will take support over looks any day of the week.
Overall, I’m happy with the amount of spam that MailProtector blocks, but I’m not happy with the support options. You may think I’m going a little overboard about not having 24/7 support, but in the past I’ve needed help at 4:55pm and I could not get anyone to answer the phone. Hell, I’ve called MailProtector before to ask a sales question and no one answered the phone. Either way, email is heavily relied on more and more everyday and I don’t want to be the guy who gets the call late at night when email goes awry…
