With the recent publicity of the conficker (well, I’ve started to call it something else but I won’t go there) virus people have been asking me “why do people write computer viruses?” Well, there isn’t a one size fits all answer to that. It’s like asking someone in high school why do they play [...]

Another pseudo-virus (a pop-up that warns your system has a virus. When you click oK it installs a script that flags a virus (when it isn’t) and redirects your browser to their website so you can pay them to “remove” the virus) going around - Malware Defender 2009.

It seems that there is a huger harvesting of domains going on right now and a company called “DomainNotice” is sending out email.  Plain and simple - this is a scam.
They offer to keep your site indexed by “search engine” (what, they don’t even know Google?) and if you do not pay them $75 for [...]

For example, I checked the local wireless networks my other computer could see.  There were a total of 9 (including my own).  Out of those 9, 2 were secured networks (including my own).  Out [...]

After some research, I’ve discovered how to clean the system without reloading windows [...]

The other day the morning show I listen to was discussing parents “snooping” on their children. Honestly, I think parents should be very involved in their children’s’ lives.
No, I am not going to sit here and preach on how to be a parent, I’m not even one (well, no human children) but I am [...]

Many companies today don’t realize the importance and value of a good domain which is too bad for them (and good for many web developers).  The price of a domain’s renewal fee today is roughly $10 a year.  $10 a year for an address that can be easily remembered by many people but the initial [...]
