As a result, your computer, whether at work or at home, still remains a primary target for cyber criminals. By following these simple steps, you can help secure your computer and protect it against most known attacks. 1. STARTING SECURE The first step to a secure computer is starting with a computer you can trust. If you purchased a new computer directly from a well-known vendor, then you should be able trust it and the pre-installed software. If you have purchased a used computer, then do not trust it. The used computer may have been accidentally (or intentionally) infected by the previous owner. Trying to secure a computer that is already infected does no good. The first step you should take after acquiring a used computer is reformat the hard drive and reinstall the operating system (be sure to ask someone you trust for help if you are not sure how to do this). 2. UPDATING The next step is updating your computer. Cyber attackers are always identifying new weaknesses in computers and their applications. When computer and software vendors learn about these new vulnerabilities, they develop and release fixes, called updates or patches, to fix the problem. When you purchase a new computer or reinstall the operating system, your computer is most likely already out of date. As such, the first step you want to take is connect to the Internet and update your computer's operating system.

The venue popularly hosts a host of live acts and music performances by upcoming bands and artists on a regular basis. Check website for more details on current and upcoming events. So I was new to Asheville and I am hearing about this place, The BOILER ROOM. They say the place is a bit new as well but I have been hearing lots of compliments about the place. I made a few researches first before checking it out and I found the above text and I thought it is good to share it to people too. As I continue on researching, I think I am getting fair votes regarding if the place is cool or not. I am a music lover so I guess I will be enjoying the place. And some says the place is really nice so what's not to try. Here comes the day that I tried hanging-out in The BOILER ROOM, and it was a lot of fun! The experience was a blast! I was there last May 31st, the guest bands were Live Music by Saint Famine Society, Mindshapefist and Polly Panic. Their music was like, the genre of music is hard rock/punk/experimental. This is Saint Famine Society's CD release show. Their music was really cool! I enjoyed the night so much! I couldn't find enough words to described the enjoyment we felt. Oh yeah we, I was with some friends who are actually fanatics of the same music genre like I do. We arrived at exactly 9pm. We went to the bar and wow boy the crowd here were very friendly, even the bartender who for sure was really tired was really accommodating. He smiles a lot which mak

Scams are all over Facebook. There are stories telling users that Facebook will end on a certain date, miracle diet pills, celebrity sex tapes, and other shady posts. With a little vigilance, though, users can make sure that they're not continuing the chain. Miranda Perry, staff writer for Scambook, spoke with AllFacebook about ways that people can make sure that they're not giving away information to scammers or spamming their friends' News Feeds with malicious links. Scambook is a complaint-resolution platform where customers can air their grievances and let others know about unscrupulous business practices and identity theft. The company also informs people of scams on social media, using its blog to write about the newest hoaxes that are going viral on Facebook. Perry shared with AllFacebook some ways that users can protect themselves (and their friends) from Facebook scams. Consider The Source One of the most common Facebook scams involves links that either infect computers with malware or automatically share content to users' Timelines. Perry said that by taking a couple of extra seconds to examine not only suspicious links, but the people who shared them, people can protect themselves. For instance, if a fitness buff friend shares a link showing how she's lost 30 pounds by using a weird old trick, or if a pastor shares a link purportedly showing Rihanna's sex tape, odds are extremely high that it's a scam. Perry said red flags should go up whenever someone shares something to Facebook that seems atypical of their nature. If users truly aren't sure, Perry recommends calling or contacting that person offline to see if their account has been compromised: The No. 1 step is just to look at the source and avoid clicking on links or sharing anything on Facebook that seems suspicious. For instance, if you know that your friend is a super-skinny athlete, they are probably not going to be telling you that they've just used weight loss pills. If t

John Abney Review: What to love and what not to love about THE BOILER ROOM Asheville John Abney Review We always come back to places we enjoy the most, to people we appreciate and the good vibe we take pleasure in. The place's layout is interesting, very unique and likeable. It is a very cool setting in downtown Asheville. Although they have a bit small stage yet still a decent size, they have a full PA and knowledgeable sound guys - not bad at all right? The BOILER ROOM is a good playing room for 5-6 people but you can be creative and fit more using different tiers and levels of playing space. The sound is perfect for the space. To top of it all and many outshines every aspect of good things about THE BOILER ROOM and the reason why patrons keep on coming back is the service. Every staff that works here are extremely nice and easy to talk to, very approachable and friendly. There are also downsides and to name a few let us start with the fact that this place is fairly a new venue and not many people are informed of the place. Another problem is that Scandals is playing thumping techno upstairs and it's really loud, their music is heard loudly in The BOILER ROOM. So what they do is they turn up their volume to compete with the noise upstairs. So the tendency is if you have quiet parts in your songs they will be overridden by the thump upstairs. And the consequence is this additional volume will make your ears bleed. Yes, this place is really cool and all but like I mentioned earlier there are the downsides and some were already stated. The thing is you likely won't make much on the door, no matter how many people come to your show. Plus the fact that they've been branded to book too many bands or bump bands for "proven locals" that doesn't really bring in many people and it's hit or miss. This is maybe because the place is quite new and not that popular yet. There are strange mixed crowd, which can actually be pretty cool for some.

Pretty insightful post.

Internet Reviews Abney Associates Blog Articles The US Federal Trade Commission has carried out a huge international crackdown on a number of "tech support" scams being run out of India which have conned people in the UK, US, Canada and elsewhere out of millions of pounds since 2008. As explained by the Guardian in 2010, the scams used "boiler room" tactics, dialling through phone books for English-speaking countries. People who answered the phone were told the call came from Microsoft or their internet service provider, and that the person's computer was "reporting viruses". The caller would then perform an unnecessary "fix" on the computer and charge the person for it - and sometimes sign them up to multi-year "support" contracts. The cost could run to hundreds of pounds. People in the US, UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand were targeted because they, like the people carrying out the scam, are English-speaking. The Guardian understands that the scam was worth millions of pounds a year to the organised gangs carrying it out. At the FTC's request in six cases, a federal district judge froze the US assets of 17 people and 14 companies that have been accused of taking part in the operations. The FTC has also shut down 80 internet domain names and 130 phone numbers used in the US to carry out the scams. The FTC is seeking an end to the scams, and repayments for people who were conned out of money. Though the FTC said it could not put a figure on how many people had been scammed, or how much they had lost, Microsoft - which has been working with the commission for the past two years to try to catch the criminals - provided data on more than a thousand people who had been scammed, whose losses averaged $875 each. Microsoft has repeatedly pointed out that it would not call people about any problems with their computers. In some cases, the scammers would try to sell antivirus software from reputable companies, and in some cases would install new copies of Windows
