Re: The Brand New Tech Thread... : Mon Sep 03, 2012 8:52 am  
Just got this email from Microsoft:

I've sent about 3 emails this weekend from this account, and it doesn't appear to be "locked or restricted" in any way, so is this just a phishing email?

Checked, it is, will leave this here as info for others

Simple answer, "yes of course it is" :-)

Any "reputable company" that sends out requests to verify accounts, passwords or other details is a phishing mail.

If you start off from that standpoint about any such email, then you won't go far wrong. Treat every "official" email with suspicion, and go from there.

Microsoft, hotmail, yahoo, google, ebay, apple, amazon, ups etc. will NEVER email you to ask you to verify ANY details in this way.

As a general rule when they genuinely send you an email, they will always address you using some specific personal details (like your name, surprisingly), or will include your postcode, the last few digits of your account number or similar information that is personal to you, but even if they do this, start off from a position of mistrust. If the email starts with "Dear Customer", then it's a fake.

Don't click on web addresses in email, instead enter the address manually (I always type the url for my online banking manually, even in preference to using a bookmark) as it's very easy to "spoof" a link in an email to make it look like it's going to the real site when really it may be taking you to a similar-looking fake site, like this: www.amazon.co.uk, which looks like it will take you to Amazon, but will actually take you to rlfans.

Re: The Brand New Tech Thread... : Thu Sep 20, 2012 7:47 am  
Can anyone help me get shut of the Babylon search engine please?

I downloaded (legally) a program yesterday and this bloody thing was embedded within it. I've managed to get rid of it from IE but FF is proving a little more difficult. I've lost the Babylon menu bar and seem to have also got shut of all Babylon-related files on my 'puter but at every re-start, the home page opens with babylon search.

I've tried all the suggestions found on google, including amending settings in FF 'about:config' but the damn thing keeps returning. Although it appears to be benign, it's not doing my bloody crust in. Any help appreciated.

Any recommendations on top notch hard drive erasing software? Prefer freeware. Needs to be XP compatible (been that long since I used Windows not sure if that's an issue these days?).

Anyone familiar with resetting Google Nexus 7 tablets? Lad in work has one and he's somehow put a password on it that he doesn't remember putting in. Every now and then it lets him on it via the face recognition that doesn't always come on on the lock screen. He's tried to usual "hold the power and the volume buttons", but when he gets to the screen with the little android lay on its side, it still says locked and won't allow him the chance to do anything.
