BIG BAD WOLF: dont forget about the registry

• EasyCleaner : cleans up files and registry
• RegClean: cleans up the registry (tool from microsoft itself, scans 'deeper' than EasyCleaner

I went to a computer security seminar not too long ago, where they listed the most recent big "data thefts" - and in all but 1 case, it was a security issue with just someone "walking out" with the data - no one actually "breaking in" and stealing the data.

(point being that the physical security / access logs of employees looking at data should be as important as outside-world access security)

chessmec: Sounds like espionage to me!

BIG BAD WOLF:

( Link to Yahoo-Article )

Gamsin said she did not know how the virus-like computer script that captured customer data got into CardSystems' network, which MasterCard said was infiltrated by an "unauthorized individual." Neither company would elaborate.

LOL! "Infiltrated by an "unauthorized individual"

oh well google ...
attitude and performance divert yet a lot ... ...
reminds me that yahoo won a search engine contest by length lately ... ~*~

Yahoo! News Story

came noonish, over my security ticker and took me
hours to verify ... but ARD confirmed - it will be part of
the evening news ... sorry. - again, only us-residents are inflicted ... ~*~

danoschek: You have a link with the story? I found e.g. at SecurityFocus nothing about that.

danoschek: Glad I hav eno master card here!

I prefer to use cash! (That's besides the point that we actually don't have credit cards here in Iran!)

danoschek: wow

Due to a major exploit of a security leak
14 million mastercard users in the states
are possibly vulnerable. contact your service. ~*~

Bob's easy way to remove problems from computer...

1.) Unplug the CPU (that's the "box").
2.) Very carefully carry it to your car.
3.) Drive at a speed way below the posted limit.
4.) Arrive at the tallest building in your city, state, country, planet, etc.
5.) Take CPU to the top floor.
6.) Toss out open window.
7.) Go to best buy, frys, circuit city, etc.
8.) Buy a new one!

Problem solved!!!!!

BIG BAD WOLF: I have been working on some "tips" on how to clean up a PC

In such a case the way is simple: Setting the PC new and rebuild data from backup.

If you have spyware your PC is not trustworthy any more. You cannot exactly kow what came additional with spyware ...

I have been working on some "tips" on how to clean up a PC and such, and thought I would share it with everyone on here.

Hrqls: I don't know what you have where you live but here in the US, I have the blackberry 7520 with Nextel. It has full GPS, it's bluetooth, it's a full PDA, and it's even a cell phone lol. The price isn't bad either....

Hrqls: there will be an open and a business service ...

~*~

fra: i thought about a pda as well .. but as you said the battery life isnt that good .. and its a bit more expensive (ok it offers more, but not something which is a big advantage to me :))

i will be searching the internet a bit more today, glad that you didnt have to pay for the use of the gps data :) ... do you really need a clear view to the sky ? that could be a problem in the forests of costa rica :(
i hoped from this review that i could use it well in a forest .. but i now see he writes the leaves werent out .. i dont know how much the 'timber' did block

Hrqls: I used european version of Garmin in Czech. I think (but I'm not sure) that only difference between USA and EU version is set of maps provided with ...

//how was the battery life ?
You can use rechargeable batteries ...

//your link says it can store maps in its 1mb //memory, how accurate are those maps ?
Sorry, I dont remember, please ask Garmin or map provider ...

// are there only maps from the usa or from other //countries as well ?
I'm sure that there are many maps providers ...

//i plan to buy it soon and play a bit with it //over here (in car, on bike, and walking in the //dunes/forest
There is only one problem ... You need direct view to the sky ... so in deep forest :)

//do you have to pay a monthly fee to be able to //use the gps data ?
No.


second possibility: to use pda with GPS modul and buy accurate maps but the battery life of PDA isn't good ...

danoschek: *nod* i have read some more about galileo .. but i dont expect it to be available for private persons like me within the next 5 years

it always states that the use of galileo is free, while you have to pay for the use of gps ... how will i be paying for the use of gps when i buy something like the geko 201 ? will i have to pay a monthly fee ?

and nothing might be received anymore, if an arab gets noisy indigestion.
gps gives a flying stuff on what civilians thing to be fun ... ~*~

Summertop: waas is a network of ground stations of which the coordinates are known exactly, those ground stations are used to calculate a correction on the gps data (due to atmospheric noise, slightly movement of the satelites, etc.) .. the ground stations are in the usa .. the waas signal cant be received everywhere .. and even if it can be received outside the usa i am not sure the correction is correct for other coordinates ... so waas is nice .. but not something i would select the device for (without waas the accuracy is about 15 meters, with waas about 3 meters)

i had a look at some of the exercizes .. fun :)
the geko 201 also has some gps games on it .. can be fun to play with :)

i am not sure about the maps ... i think i would like it and it would definetly be a pro .. i wont be able to use it in costa rica i think .. but i would be able to use it on other trips for sure . so for the moment i dont need it .. but its definetly a big pro (if it doesnt raise the price too much :))

i read a dutch review who said it worked nice for him .. so it works outside the usa as well *phew* :) .. i read some more reviews and it seems the battery life is slightly less than the 12 hours which garmin claims .. can you switch batteries without losing data ?

what were you experiences with the device you used ? (which brand, type, what area, what occasion ? ;))

fra: where did you use it ? did you also use it outside the usa ?

how was the battery life ? i will be walking for 1 day, then i maybe can recharge it but i am not sure, then 1 day walking around that location, than 1 day walking back .. so i would prefer to be able to keep it running for 3 days (which i fear is impossible) but at least for 1 day walking (about 9 hours)

your link says it can store maps in its 1mb memory, how accurate are those maps ? are there only maps from the usa or from other countries as well ?

i plan to buy it soon and play a bit with it over here (in car, on bike, and walking in the dunes/forest

do you have to pay a monthly fee to be able to use the gps data ?

loser systems will try price dumping a while yet - well, good luck that they
won't get intelligence of WMDs in mid-america ... then civilians can't rely
anymore on gps functions - as italians had to experience during bosnia war ... ~*~

Hrqls, I would spend the money to make sure you get the features you want. Such as downloadable maps. Also, get one before you need it so you can have the time to learn how to use it. You can go to http://www.geocaching.com for some fun exercizes to help you learn how to use it.

I've only used one once. When it says it is for the US market only and uses the WAAS...does it only work in the US. Isn't the WAAS a US based network?

Hrqls: Garmin is good :)
I played with something as this one is

for me it would be important not to use it
and wait for the european galileo system ...
which is better and won't charge before help ... ~*~

has anyone ever used a like the one in this link ?

what are the important features to watch for ?

i will be going to costa rica next month, including a 3 day walk by foot, and would love to track my path with such a device (mainly for reference when i am back home :))

any tips ?

Fencer: I can see the characters just fine Fencer.. :)

Fencer: I hoped too the bug would hide in character coding somehow ...
can't reproduce it and still wait for answer from bulgary using korean ... :P
this link to a similar problem is the last breeze of my brainstorm then ~*~

Fencer: same here: when I look at what IE selected, it's UTF-8. same as for firefox. the characters look right. my version displays: 6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2_gdr.050301-1519. maybe w wrong UTF-8 version, or one that doesn't have all it needs?

rabbitoid: It's set to utf-8 by default and there is no option of Bengali or anything similar to it.

Fencer: have you tried to manually force the issue by using the submenu "character coding"?

danoschek: Thanks, there are many useful information. However, it still doesn't solve my problem because they say "go to Internet Options / Fonts and select the font for your language script" but when I select Bengali on that panel, no fonts are provided to choose from although I have them installed on my computer.

http://www.hedgehog-review.com/accent/intro.php

checked it with both Firefox and IE and they both looked identical.....all ?????????????

chessmec: Yes, everything's up to date (XP SP2). I must have some strange settings somewhere. It can be a problem with the Czech version of IE which I use.

Don't know what to tell ya. Shows up fine in IE for me (although finding IE was hard for me, I kinda buried it)

Fencer: I started my notebook for work for you ... this is the only Windoof PC I have. So, XP SP2:
- IE 6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2_grd.050301-1519 shows me the bengali fonts
- Firefox shows me the bengali fonts

at my linux pc(suse 9.2) i see all fonts too

system up to date?

I am just experimenting with Indian languages and I've got a problem - when I try to display this page in Firefox, it works great and I can see all Bengali characters. However, Internet Explorer shows only question marks or little squares.
I think the problem is in a missing font in the Internet Explorer because I am sure I have this font installed on my computer (when I open a Wordpad, I can write in Bengali). Is there a way how to "install" the fonts to the IE?

Universal Eyes: With norton and beta 1 and adware i''ve been able to find the viruses and worms

eh? how do you got them? in work i am admin of 66 windows systems since 4 years - no virus, n worm ... nothing since there. why?
1) strictly always update the OS
2) Using strictly and strong policies (mails and so on)
3) Using NON-IE-Browsers. At the begin it was netscape, now firefox
4) Using an updated antivirus - i recommend antivir.
5) using a combination of a general firewall and personnal firewall (i recommend kerio=
6) prohibiting using danger ports
...

but of course, the most problems are because people are clicking at everything ...

danoschek:With norton and beta 1 and adware i''ve been able to find the viruses and worms,and even there computer name and ips come up so there are in bigger trouble then they think,3 agents to take them down,i've been offered a job at microsoft,to do tracking.
Noton is not that good because,on the scanning it comes up with possible browser hijacker,which i already know the browsers been hijacked already,if they were really good it would have came up with a definate.

you may google up 'hijackthis' - the program was already mentioned
earlier and was coded to repair browsers taken over by twilight sites.
at the moment main threats are rootkit virii and team-trojans coming up ... ~*~

resources and not worth the instructions paperback.
microsoft haha antispyware from the world's most professional spies,
you must be kidding ... use freeware programs that do the job as well. ~*~
