The ultimate guide to scareware protection

The ultimate guide to scareware protection

The characteristics of scareware - pattern recognition for a scam

Due to the fact that the scareware campaigns maintained by partners in the affiliate network use a standard template distributed to all of them, scareware sites all share a very common set of deceptive advertising practices, which can easily help you spot them before making a purchase.

For instance, the majority of scareware sites attempt to build more authenticity into their propositions by using “non-clickable” icons of reputable technology web sites and performance evaluating services, such as PC Magazine Editors’ Choice award, Microsoft Certified Partner, ICSA Labs Certified, Westcoast Labs Certified, Certified by Softpedia, CNET Editors’ Choice, as well as ZDNet Reviews — the real ZDNet Reviews are unaware of the scareware’s existence.

Taking Names: White House Collecting Data On Web Users - Video Added

Thu, 17 Sep 2009 07:21:49 GMT

clipped by: merrie
clipper's remarks: Defenders of the White House actions said the Presidential Records Act requires that the administration gather the information and that it was justified in taking the additional step of asking a private contractor to “crawl and archive” all such material. Nicholas Shapiro, a White House spokesman, declined to say when the practice began or how much the new contract would cost.

In a June 5, 2008, article in PC Magazine, Mr. Obama said, “The open information platforms of the 21st century can also tempt institutions to violate the privacy of citizens. We need sensible safeguards that protect privacy in this dynamic new world.”

The National Legal and Policy Center, a government ethics watchdog, said archiving the sites would have a “chilling effect” on Web site users who might wish to leave comments critical of the administration.

Ken Boehm, a lawyer and chairman of the center, also disputed that the presidential records law applies, because the comments
are pasted onto . . .

Washington Times:

The White House is collecting and storing comments and videos placed on its social-networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter and YouTube without notifying or asking the consent of the site users, a failure that appears to run counter to President Obama’s promise of a transparent government and his pledge to protect privacy on the Internet.

Marc Rotenberg, president of the Electronic Privacy Information Center, said the White House signaled that it would insist on open dealings with Internet users and, in fact, should feel obliged to disclose that it is collecting such information.

“The White House has not been adequately transparent, particularly on how it makes use of new social media techniques, such as this example,” he said.

Susan Cooper, a spokeswoman for National Archives and Records Administration, said the presidential records law applies to “social media” and to public comments “received by the president or immediate staff.”

A womans's rage

PC Magazine’s 2007 editors’ choice for best web mail-award-winning letter.

I have been a loyal user of your ‘Always’ maxi pads for over 20 years and I appreciate many of their features. Why, without the Leak Guard Core or Dry-Weave absorbency, I’d probably never go horseback riding or salsa dancing, and I’d certainly steer clear of running up and down the beach in tight, white shorts. But my favourite feature has to be your revolutionary Flexi-Wings. Kudos on being the only company smart enough to realize how crucial it is that maxi pads be aerodynamic. I can’t tell you how safe and secure I feel each month knowing there’s a little F-16 in my pants.

Sir, please inform your Accounting Department that, effective immediately, there will be an $8 drop in monthly profits, for I have chosen to take my maxi-pad business elsewhere. And though I will certainly miss your Flexi-Wings, I will not for one minute miss your brand of condescending bullshit. And that’s a promise I will keep. Always.

Pagan police allowed religous holidays off work

clipper's remarks: more: "It involves chanting, music, meditation, reading passages and for pagans the practices are seen to have the same power as prayer does for Christians. Most pagans practice some kind of conservation work as well to give something back to the planet."

Hertfordshire Police allows Pc Pardy the eight pagan holidays off each year, including Hallowe'en, which signifies the Pagan new year, and the summer solstice in June.

The days are deducted from his annual leave but because of his religion the days off are set in stone.

Clip Source: www.telegraph.co.uk

It follows the setting up of a Pagan Police Association to represent officers who worship nature and believe in many gods.

Pc Andy Pardy, a leading Pagan officer from Hertfordshire Police, met with Home Office officials this week to push for more recognition for pagan officers.

The neighbourhood beat manager, who has been an officer for the past seven years, is a heathen which means he worships Norse gods, including the hammer-wielding Thor, the one-eyed Odin and Freyr, the god of fertility.

Pc Pardy told Police Review magazine: "Paganism is not the new age, tree hugging fad that some people think it is. It is not the clandestine, horrible, evil thing that people think it is. A lot of people think it is about dancing naked around a fire but the rituals are not like that.

Another nice review of Amplify

Mon, 08 Jun 2009 16:47:53 GMT

clipped by: egoldstein
clipper's remarks: We haven't been seeking out the reviews, but nice to see Amplify getting noticed. I clipped this paragraph because it speaks to one of the reasons we created Amplify as a separate service from Clipmarks. We really didn't want to disturb the user experience or community on Clipmarks.com, but we wanted a way to better support Twitter and Facebook users as well as groups. We felt the best way to do this would be to create Amplify as a separate service from Clipmarks, but giving Clipmarks users the option to sync the two.

Clip Source: www.appscout.com

In a way, Amplify is what I had hoped Clipmarks would be: in addition to giving you an easy way to take entire clippings of the Web that you can return to and review later, the service allows you to share those interesting tidbits with the world. This way you give other people a way to interact with you, comment on your clippings, and see what you're reading on the Web that you think is interesting and worth sharing. Since Amplify allows you to hook into your Twitter or Facebook account, the service doesn't have to compete with those networks for attention and can compliment them instead.

I was able to defeat the Toshiba engineers and now I love my Satellite.. (

anyways, go to: http://www.passmark.com/download/index.htm they have a keyboard testing utility that will allow you to find the scancodes for any keys.

Thanks to everyone here.. I hated the placement of the home key where a delete key should have been. ) Also found at utility software for trading keys from PC magazine at: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,4149,771064,00.asp It worked quickly to swap the home and delete keys.

Don't be fooled by fake download sites

We've discussed the pernicious rogue malware program Antivirus XP

(or Antivirus XP 2009 or Antivirus2010...) before, including methods for removing the darn thing from an infected computer. Well, it seems that the malware continues to plague users in a new, annoying manner.

Antivirus2010 is now adding entries to users' HOSTS file, so that if they try to navigate to CNET, Download.com, PC Magazine, or other technology sites, they'll actually be redirected to fake versions of those sites. You can see a screenshot

of the fake Download.com page for Antivirus2010 at Bleeping Computer

Learn more about this latest scam by the purveyors or Antivirus XP and how you can protect your machine against it with a full report from Seth Rosenblatt
