  • What is cryptapiqueue.exe, and how do I get rid of it?

    I found this in my start menu. Looks like it's been there about a month, and it is a real bugger.

    I Googled it and couldn't find a single thing.

    I opened the file location, and tried to delete it, then rename it to .old, but I got this message.

    "This action cannot be completed because the file is open in window explorer"

    So I went into safe mode, and likewise, couldn't delete it or rename it.

    I've ran Spybot and Malwarebyte on it, and nothing. If it is something new, I'm not surprised I didn't get a hit. I also tried running a anti-keylogger on it just to check, and nothing.

    I'm at a lose. I really don't want to leave it there, but it won't move. Can anyone tell me anything about it, or better, how to get rid of it. Or at least a website that has information on it?

  • MBA or certification?

    I've been in the IT field for 6 years. I've been designing database program and very happy with it. I have a BS in BA with a focus on MIS. I have been thinking about going back to school for my MBA, through I really don't want to get into management. I would like to get a Ph.D, at some point, and go into teaching in maybe 20 years. For the short term I have been considering a database certification. I have $5,000 a year to spend through my work, so I felt like I should be taking advantage of that.

    Any opinions?

  • 16 year old son dating (detailed)?

    Our son has been talking/texting/facebooking with a girl at church. They've been talking for about a year, but she wasn’t allowed to date until she is 16. Or at least that is what her mother told my wife. Even then it has to be chaperoned. They each turned 16 in June. He asked her if she liked movies, and she told him she loved movies. So my son stopped her dad after church and asked if he could take her to a movie with us. His dad told him no, that she isn't allowed to date until she is 20. Of course my son was heartbroken over it. He said he told her dad that he understood and he'd wait.

    What is awkward is my son is mildly mental retards. He had a 107.9 temp when he was five and we rushed him to the ER. You wouldn't realize it talking to him. He is more social adept then I am, as I'd never had the nerve to talk to a girl’s dad. But for school he cannot get above a third grade reading or math level. He did help the church last summer put on an addition. He just needs someone patient to explain to him. People at church know and understand him, as does this girl. He is very gentle and kind hearted. He said she liked him because he isn’t pushy like the other boys. I know I tried to teach him not to be ashamed of who he is, because it is what you do that really matters.

    My concern is I believe this girl’s dad doesn't want my son dating his daughter because, in the long term, if they stayed together, my son could never give her a good life. He won't be able to go to college, or graduate high school for that matter. And if that is his concern, I can sort of see it.

    My question is how to handle it with my son. Usually I am straight forward and honest and try to help him understand the situation and people. But affairs of the heart are different. The dad doesn't want his daughter dating my son, and adding four years to the dating restriction is a subtle way of doing that. My son took it literally, and I would hate to see him waiting for nothing. And I hate telling him why.

  • Of these three Disney Resorts: Grand Floridian, Polynesian, Contemporary, which would you choose, and why?

    I realize there are a lot of other very nice resorts on and off property, but we would like to stay on the monorail. In our case, we will be traveling with two adults and a seventeen year old and staying for a week.
