Yet another Domain Scam!

Using the same dishonest approach as Domain Registry of Canada, these dirtbags send out a notice that it is 'time' to renew your domain name search engine submission.

At the very top, in BOLD CAPS are the words DOMAIN NOTICE. That's their company name apparently. I wonder why they picked it?

If you bother to read it, they do at least state that it is an offer, not an invoice, but they could not have made it look more like a Domain Name Renewal invoice if they tried and they include this stupid warning.

Failure to complete your Domain name search engine registration by the expiration date may result in cancellation of this offer making it difficult for your customers to locate you on the web

Your only option is to return by fax to 1-646-385-7542 and the unsubscribe is an wdsrv850@operamail - obviously a throwaway email address.

Here is the text of the message - if you see it, delete it.

Antivirus help

First off, if you don't use AVG Antivirus you need to ask yourself why not?

It is free for home use (on one computer) and the licensed versions are half the cost of the 'leading' vendors. I wonder if they are half the cost because they only use half the RAM or half the processing power? No matter, it is light weight and it is rock solid. I use it to clean systems 'protected' by Norton and others regularly.

Now if you're REALLY in a pickle because you simply could not resist clicking OK on that wonderfully thoughtful offer you received as you browsed the web there is still hope.

You need three tools, all are free and all are indispensible. Download them now, BEFORE you need them.

Malwarebytes is an absolutely indispensable tool for cleaning infected machines.

ComboFix - For seriously compromised systems. ComboFix runs a battery of tests and will clean just about anything. It has not failed me yet. Don't download the product at the top of the page - it is just an advertisment. Scroll down to the link named bleepingcomputer.com.

Dial-a-fix - a collection of known fixes which addresses issues with Windows Update, Microsoft Installer, and more.

Don't be scared. These are great tools used by pros everywhere.

Tired of Waiting for Adobe Acrobat?

With each release of Adobe Acrobat we wait longer and longer for it to actually start. Most of us will never dream of using the plugins and addons that they include so the wait is doubly annoying.

A quick Google search yielded several others sharing your pain. This one came up #1 and seems to have the answer.

http://jon.limedaley.com/plog/archives/2004/08/19/adobe-acrobat-slow-loading

The api files they talk about are typically at:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 8.0\Acrobat\plug_ins

Oh how I wish there were even just one programmer who worked on speed and efficiency rather than seeing how bloated they can make their package.

It's like my cell phone - they can keep the browser, texting, dayminder, calculator, games etc. if they could just make the damned thing ring when someone calls.

Outlook 2007 Grinding You Down?

I found this great link to help.
http://slipstick.com/outlook/ol2007/slow.htm#more

When I tried to run the Outlook Performance Update it said that it did not find the expected version of Office. Not sure what that's about, but I did find that renaming the extend.dat sped it up considerably.

Wouldn't it be great if a software company released a piece of software that actually used less memory, less processor and worked faster?!
