Hey, I don't tell people what tools I use, where there's security involved.
It's like when people here ask what antivirus people use. That always looks to me like market research by hackers.

What does this have to do with security? You stated that you were being hassled to switch to Chrome from a browser that you described as "one of the most advanced browsers in the world". So why do you refuse to tell us which one it is?

Bloody good marketing by someone, probably the same guy who got Intel Inside stickers on a huge range of boxes.

Ah, but I don't, any more. Not for several months -- specifically because I got fed up of all the paid results and the nagging.
("Hey, you have to check out revision 2016.7255964628455 of our terms and conditions before continuing, then give us your phone number, credit card details, and mother's maiden name, so you can log in to google search safely and search the Internet! You must do this today!")
It's actual web-sites doing it. It's like the Nutscrape days, all over again ("You need Nutscrape 3.5 to view his site properly")
If a "normal" site pulls cr@p like that, I'll just piss of and view a different site (QED I don't use google search), but changing banks is a PITA.

But did it say 2016?

Amusingly, I did actually check at the time! Yes 2016.

Thought it might be a bit of creative selling using out of date offers.

I _think_ it might be them reducing the change of having to pay out by removing the claim from their site after the las date you can *buy* the product, rather the last date you can *claim*
Hoping I suppose that if they make it hard enough people will just give up.
Of course, they will by now have spent more than $100 in staff costs just dealing with me!
And I will never buy an HP product again. Personally or for my company.
I'd sell any HP shares if I were you

But did they specify 2016 in the Gregorian calendar?

It's because they care.
Just don't ask about what.

You should print off all the email exchanges and send them via recorded delivery to the local VP of Marketing.

Same thing happened to me but in case of Lenovo. The offer site was working but its not accepting the product code.
I knew lot of laptop manufactures reject offers if bought online in India. So i bought it from local showroom and they ensured that offer will be applicable on that laptop and i will get 3 years warranty. But while registration it does not work.
So showroom mangager called Lenovo sales manager and this has been escalated up to AVP of Lenovo of India. Lot of mails sent out and finally they made some backend changes to accept my Laptop product code. And then finally i got my Lenovo 3 year warranty offer.

HP haven't been any good for years, at least 20 to 30 by my reckoning. I really dont understand why people keep buying their crap, perhaps they're emulating the title of Stanley Kubrick's last film, Eyes Wide Shut.
And don't try telling me that their sales numbers means they are any good. Drop a turd on the footpath next to a sandwich and tell me which is the better food, based on the number of flies.
I first used their stuff in about 81 or 82 and it was great - top notch stuff back then. Even then, what I used was an older model, the $795, 1974 model HP-65 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[^]
Agillient CROs are the best thing to have been associated with them for a long time.

My VM running Windows 7 just went crazy.
A Svchost.exe started running some code which using SysInternals ProcExp I was able to determine was the nsisvc.dll. It was eating 50% of my processor on my VM which was terrible.
You can see a snapshot SysInternals, Regedit, etc which shows details here:
http://raddev.us/images/sysinternals/nissvc1.png[^]
Then I noticed that the places it was writing was into the URLCryptCache directory... What!?
What's going on?
http://raddev.us/images/sysinternals/nissvc2.png[^]
Seems kind of nefarious, doesn't it?
Anyone? Anyone?
Has anyone else seen this crazy behavior?
I shut it down and I'll restart to see if that starts running again.
EDIT
I restarted and the TrustedInstaller is running now. It's probably Nadella installing Win10 on my VM.
Thanks! 
EDIT 2
The svchost running that same nsisvc.dll is running at 50% again.
If it's Microsoft -- they really are a VIRUS. Resistance is futile!!!
If it's a virus, it might be Microsoft.
