I was recently asked a couple of Excel questions, one was about a filter that just stopped filtering data in a column about halfway through the spreadsheet, and the other was about a formula that stayed looking like a formula and didn't calculate anything.

I was having a weird file permissions issue with a network share on a Windows server. All the permissions for the file and folder looked good. I needed to look at the Share permissions though, which is a separate little management console.

This is a sub 4-minute summary of my more than 40-minute-long episode where I tracked down what was causing pages on a site to redirect to some other website, spoiler alert: it was a malicious script!

So there's this website where almost all the pages that you go to end up redirecting you to some other website that is trying to get some ad revenue.

Listen in if you want to hear about all the ways that I tried to see what was going on.
