Little difference...<p> I very rarely link to or quote other Internet based computer sources. But today I HAVE to do just that. </p><p></p><p>You all probably know Youtube.com and at least one of Youtube's over <a href="https://www.tubics.com/blog/number-of-youtube-channels" target="_blank">51 <b>million</b> channels</a>. As far as computer stuff goes <a href="https://www.youtube.com/c/LinusTechTips" target="_blank">Linus Tech Tips</a> (LTT for short) is one of the IMHO <b>very</b> good and reliable channels. They often are quite technical but then they additionally excel at commenting on general questions with a much broader appeal and relevance. Such a video from LTT with broad relevance today came to my attention and I believe you should watch <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bi_xedWzfqU&t=3s" target="_blank">this 10 minute video</a>.</p><p>Not only does it speak about what I tell my customers for many years, that is "DO NOT USE NORTON", anything from Norton! </p><p>This video tells the whole background about why Norton's offer to "mine" on your behalf for one of the new digital currencies seems to be IMHO at least suspicious or even <b>outright criminal.</b></p><p>I hope you'll enjoy the video.

</div><p style="margin: 10px 0px 10px 40px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;">As I wrote in my <a href="https://www.askwoody.com/2021/a-single-registry-line-enables-windows-11-without-tpm-2-0/"> October 18</a>
column, there are few, if any, compelling new features in Win11 for
most people, aside from cosmetic changes. The exception is if you have
an application that demands a particular TPM 2.0 form of encryption. All
US government agencies, for example, are required to use the 256-bit
SHA-2 algorithm that TPM 2.0 supports. (The older TPM 1.2 chip supports
the flawed 160-bit SHA-1 algorithm).</p><div style="margin-left: 40px; text-align: left;">
</div><p style="margin: 10px 0px 10px 40px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;">For everyone else, Windows
10 remains a stable and productive platform that will get updates for
at least the next four years. That’s plenty of time for you to decide
whether you really need Win11 — or you’d rather skip it until Windows 12
arrives.</p><div style="margin-left: 40px; text-align: left;">
</div><p style="margin: 10px 0px 10px 40px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;">For the moment, experts are recommending that most people stay on Win10. That includes reviewers from <a href="https://bri.li/211101d">PC World</a> (“You shouldn’t upgrade to Windows 11 yet”), <a href="https://bri.li/211101e">Forbes</a> (“Don’t rush to take that free upgrade”), <a href="https://bri.li/211101f">Tom’s Guide</a> (“I wouldn’t upgrade to Windows 11 yet”), and on and on.</p><div style="margin-left: 40px; text-align: left;">
</div><p style="margin: 10px 0px 10px 40px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;">For details on the 30-million machine study, see Lansweeper’s <a href="https://bri.li/211101g">summary</a>.</p><p style="text-align: left;">Did you get it? <b>Windows 11 is NOT a "must have" upgrade.</b></p><p style="text-align: left;"><b></b>With all the recent back and forth about this and considering Microsoft's history with these things <b>I definitely will stay away from Windows 11!</b> <b><br /></b></p><p style="text-align: left;">Should Microsoft ask you any questions about Windows 11 PLEASE read the question(s) again and make sure that you answer <b>NOT </b>to upgrade to Windows 11!<br /></p><p style="text-align: left;">Windows 10 is quite reliable and <b>will be supported until October 2024!</b></p><p style="text-align: left;">If you have your computer now for at lest two years it will by then be old enough to think about a new machine anyway.</p><p style="text-align: left;">Any other concerns or question(s)?

<p><span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS;">I apologize for harassing you with
unsolicited information about what I consider to be the
individually most important issue of the current times.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS;">I want to stress that <b>I am not</b> an

rats for large scale testing of an experimental concoction of
drugs that work in totally novel ways. <br /><br />Currently we are being

<div align="center" style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif; font-size: 36px; font-weight: bold;">Something to Consider</span></div>
<div align="center" style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif; font-size: 18px;">By E.P. Unum</span></div>
<div align="center" style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif; font-size: 18px;"> February 9, 2021 </span></div>
<div align="center" style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif; font-size: 18px;"> </span></div>
<div><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif; font-size: 18px;">Before reviewing this essay, you may find these numbers interesting:</span></div>
<div><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif; font-size: 18px;">As reported by the CDC ... here are the total number of US deaths by year and the change from the previous year</span></div>
<div><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif; font-size: 18px;"> </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #1d2228; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif; font-size: 18px;">> </span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif; font-size: 18px;">Year 2017 2,818,503 Americans died</span>
</div>
<div><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif; font-size: 18px;"> </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #1d2228; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif; font-size: 18px;">> </span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif; font-size: 18px;">Year 2018: 2,839,205 deaths (20,702 more than the previous year 2017)</span>
</div>
<div><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif; font-size: 18px;"> </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #1d2228; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif; font-size: 18px;">> </span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif; font-size: 18px;">Year 2019: 2,855,000 deaths (16,300 more than the previous year 2018)</span>
</div>
<div><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif; font-size: 18px;"> </span></div>
<div><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif; font-size: 18px;">> Year of the pandemic ...2020..,.there were 2,913,144 deaths (57,641 more than the previous year 2019)</span></div>
<div><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif; font-size: 18px;"> </span></div>
<div><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif; font-size: 18px;">Let
this sink in for a minute. There were zero deaths from Covid-19
reported during 2018 and 2019… and the jump from 2019 to 2020 was only
57,641? </span></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif; font-size: 18px;">But, We have been told COVID</span>-19<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif; font-size: 18px;"> is responsible for 440,000 + deaths. </span></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif; font-size: 18px;">Shouldn't the calendar year 2020 number be a hell of a lot higher? Hold that thought for a minute….</span></div>
<div><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif; font-size: 18px;"> </span></div>
<div><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif; font-size: 18px;">So the question now becomes: how many people died FROM COVID and how many died (of other causes) WITH COVID? </span></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif; font-size: 18px;">Perhaps
there is a more reasonable explanation such as the possibility that the
CDC is not finished reporting the final tabulations of the number of
deaths through 2020. That, of course, is a possibility, but this is
February 2021 and clearly, if the number of deaths was 440,000 higher
they surely did not all occur in November or December 2020, so why the
delay?</span></div>
<div><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif; font-size: 18px;"> </span></div>
<div><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif; font-size: 18px;">More importantly, let’s consider these possibilities:</span></div>
<div><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif; font-size: 18px;"> </span></div>
<div><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif; font-size: 18px;">Perhaps
the reporting of deaths by the media was intentionally misleading, a
very well-orchestrated plan intended to create fear and upheaval in the
middle of an election year and on the heels of an ill-advised failure to
remove a sitting President of the United States based on false
accusations. Or, perhaps Covid 19 was an unimaginable set of events that
just fell into place with the United States front and center. Let’s
dispense with this possibility straight away: Can you tell me another
nation with more reported deaths than the U.S?</span></div>
<div><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif; font-size: 18px;"> </span></div>
<div><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif; font-size: 18px;">Let’s consider for a moment the following sequence of facts:</span></div>
<div><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif; font-size: 18px;"> </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif; font-size: 18px;">Covid
started with messages from the CDC and the eminent and distinguished
Dr. Fauci of the NIH announcing in January 2020 to the media on TV and
on TV talk shows that the </span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif; font-size: 18px; font-style: italic;">“U.S. had nothing to worry about”</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif; font-size: 18px;"> and there was “</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif; font-size: 18px; font-style: italic;">no reason to wear masks”</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif; font-size: 18px;"> to telling us in late February and early March of 2020 that </span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif; font-size: 18px; font-style: italic;">“masks are a necessity” </span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif; font-size: 18px;">and</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif; font-size: 18px; font-style: italic;"> “we face a real pandemic</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif; font-size: 18px;">”</span>
</div>
<div><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif; font-size: 18px;"> </span></div>
<div><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif; font-size: 18px;">Enter
the media and social media platforms, democratic mayors, governors,
and, most importantly, democratic members of Congress who, every day,
24/7 in concert with the mainstream media, do the following:</span></div>
<div><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif; font-size: 18px;"> </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #1d2228; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif; font-size: 18px;">> </span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif; font-size: 18px;">Scare
people with a virus. Force them to wear masks and place them in
quarantine. Demand that voting in the national election be handled by
mail while allowing people to stand in line and shop at Home Depot,
Loews, Target, Walmart, Costco. Bed Bath & Beyond, and other
"BigBox" stores</span>
</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #1d2228; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif; font-size: 18px;">> </span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif; font-size: 18px;">Count
the number of deaths every second of every day, in every News Headline.
By the way, ninety-nine and six-tenths (99.6%) of the people who
contract the virus, recover. About one to two-tenths of one percent who
get the virus, die, and most all of them have other medical
problems. Did you catch that? Less than 1/2 of a percent die.</span>
</div>
<div><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif; font-size: 18px;"> </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #1d2228; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif; font-size: 18px;">> </span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif; font-size: 18px;">Closed
businesses yielded 35,000,000+ instantly unemployed. 100 years ago, in
the midst of the Spanish Flu Epidemic which killed over 50 million
people worldwide, businesses and schools were never shut down.</span>
</div>
<div><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif; font-size: 18px;"> </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #1d2228; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif; font-size: 18px;">> </span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif; font-size: 18px;">Remove
entertainment and prohibit recreation, closing parks, gyms, bars,
restaurants, sports. When sports are permitted, tell the limited number
of people who are present at the events or who are watching at home that
they should be wearing masks and refrain from cheering or shouting
because that “</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif; font-size: 18px; font-style: italic;">tends to spread the virus.</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif; font-size: 18px;">”</span>
</div>
<div><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif; font-size: 18px;"> </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #1d2228; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif; font-size: 18px;">> </span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif; font-size: 18px;">No dating. No touching. Isolate people. Dehumanize them.</span>
</div>
<div><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif; font-size: 18px;"> </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #1d2228; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif; font-size: 18px; font-weight: normal;">> </span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif; font-size: 18px;">Close Temples and Churches. Prohibit worship. Create a vacuum and let depression, anxiety, hopelessness, and desperation set in.</span>
</div>

schools from elementary through university, shut down all
extra-curricular activities, and implement virtual online learning with
no regard as to the impact this has on our children and how they learn,
and no regard for the need for them to interact and have human contact.</span>
</div>
<div><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif; font-size: 18px;"> </span></div>
<div>

hatred and civil unrest in the streets resulting in the looting of
businesses, injuries, and deaths to innocent bystanders and police
attempting to maintain order.</span>

the cries to defund the police, empty the prisons because of the virus,
arrest those you catch looting and causing damage, but, then
immediately release them without any bail, and continue to fill the
streets with criminals.</span>
</div>
<div><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif; font-size: 18px;"> </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #1d2228; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif; font-size: 18px; font-weight: normal;">> </span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif; font-size: 18px;">Allow
Antifa and Black Lives Matter to vandalize property as if they are
freedom fighters. Undermine the rule of law, condone riots, looting and
attack all law enforcement,…but tell the government to order police to
stand-down.</span>
</div>
<div><span style="color: #1d2228; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif; font-size: 18px;"> </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #1d2228; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif; font-size: 18px;">> </span><span style="color: #1d2228; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif; font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold;">Terminate
the Keystone XL Pipeline, restrict fracking and oil and gas exploration
thereby eliminating America’s Energy Independence which took us decades
to achieve, driving up costs to business and consumers, and immediately
putting tens of thousands of Americans on unemployment lines. Then,
abandon building the wall on the U.S. southern border which has
effectively controlled immigration and invited thousands of migrant
people from South America to assemble and illegally enter the United
States…all at a time when we have tens of millions unemployed and still
dealing with Covid.</span>
</div>
<div><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif; font-size: 18px;"> </span></div>
<div><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif; font-size: 18px;">So,
the acid-test question is this: Is it possible that we are all being
played by those who want to achieve power and destroy America? </span></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif; font-size: 18px;">This
is nothing new. We have had socialist and communist movements in our
country for many years…indeed, several decades. But the ones we have in
our midst today are insidious and have been the result of decades of
abdicating responsibility for our education system and ignorance of just
how Marxist and Communists develop footholds inside a nation. </span></div>
<div><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif; font-size: 18px;"> </span></div>
<div><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif; font-size: 18px;">No longer do we teach our children about American Exceptionalism and what America has meant to the world. </span></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif; font-size: 18px;">No longer do we focus on American achievements in science, medicine, technology, and engineering or the arts and literature. </span></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif; font-size: 18px;">Instead,
it seems all that we hear is how bad America is. We allow disgusting,
inflammatory research like the N.Y. Times endorsed </span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif; font-size: 18px; text-decoration: underline;">1619 Project</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif; font-size: 18px;">
to be installed as a mandatory curriculum in our elementary and high
schools, and professors at our universities to substitute factual
history with their personal flair for condemning America as an
imperialist nation which ignores the needs of the poor in favor of the
wealthy. They denigrate capitalism as the root of all evil and ignore
that capitalism has been the economic system that has created the
greatest individual and collective wealth and prosperity in the history
of the world. </span>
</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif; font-size: 18px;">They teach our students that socialism and communism is a preferable system because it espouses “</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif; font-size: 18px; font-style: italic;">equity for all”</span><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif; font-size: 18px;">,
but they never once mention that socialism has never worked in any
country that has tried it, and that the only people who have benefitted
from socialism are those at the top who achieved their wealth and power
on the backs of those who produced it.</span>
</div>
<div><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif; font-size: 18px;"> </span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif; font-size: 18px;">It
is important to reflect on these immutable facts: America is a nation
that was born just 245 years ago. We have been in existence for only 245
years, a pimple on the ass of an elephant to give some
perspective. There are nations on this planet who have been in existence
for several thousands of years, whose history dwarfs ours. Yet, in that
finite period of time, we have produced the single greatest system of
government based on principles of individual liberty and respect for,
trust, and belief in God, the greatest economy and wealth known to man,
the finest military in the world, and twice in the 20</span><sup style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 0;">th</sup><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif; font-size: 18px;">
century, we saved the world from the horrors of Fascism and the Nazi’s,
rebuilding 19 countries in Europe and the entire nation of Japan in
aftermath of the devastation of World War II.</span>
</div>
<div><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif; font-size: 18px;"> </span></div>
<div><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif; font-size: 18px;">I
submit to you that what has transpired throughout 2020 is how you
destroy a nation from within, and in very short order. It is a blueprint
for the destruction of America and all you need to do is a quick review
of the Executive Orders enacted by President Joe Biden to understand
how these are weakening our nation. President Biden did not develop
these edicts. It is my considered opinion that this is the work of
Barack Obama, Susan Rice, Bernie Sanders, John Kerry, George Soros, and
the cabal of power-hungry devotees of the Elite New World Order. </span></div>
<div><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif; font-size: 18px;"> </span></div>
<div><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif; font-size: 18px;">Will this diabolical plan work? I guess that depends on you and me.</span></div>

<span style="color: blue;">For many years now I have used the Canada based
company Instant Housecall and their program of the same name to give
remote support to my customers.<br /></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;">Since a few months I can not log in to that
service anymore, they do not accept my password and their password reset
mechanism does not solve the problem for me. So I looked for an
alternative and naturally for an alternative that would not entail cost
for my customers. And I have found a solution.</span><span style="color: blue;"><br />As of immediately (June 1st 2020) I use a new company and <b>their </b>program to give remote support. <br /><br />Their name is <a href="https://anydesk.com/en">Any Desk</a>. I install this program on all new computers and on any computer that I upgrade or work on directly<b>.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: blue;"><br />If you want (or need) remote support all my many existing customers currently have <b>only one option </b>and PLEASE <b>do this only when we speak with each other on the phone</b>!<b> </b><br />
</span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="color: blue;">Click <b><a href="https://download.anydesk.com/AnyDesk.exe">this link</a></b><b> to download AnyDesk.exe</b>.<br />
</span></li>
<li><span style="color: blue;">When the download has finished <b>open</b> your Downloads folder,</span></li>
<li><span style="color: blue;"><b>find</b> file AnyDesk.exe and </span></li>
<li><span style="color: blue;"><b>double click</b> this file name.</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="color: blue;">AnyDesk will open; here is what it will look like:</span><br />

I believe it is worth another one of the instances where I quote my email reply to the customer: <br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="color: #45818e;">Backup and Restore likely are for the non-technical home
computer user <b>the</b> most misunderstood area of handling a
computer. I have learned the hard way that discussing that over
the phone usually is fruitless, mostly because a non-technical
home computer user lacks basic background knowledge.</span> </blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="color: #45818e;">I am very reluctant to advise about that area without the
customer having a decent understanding of the terminology
involved. Additionally a solid understanding of the different
Pro and Cons of available technologies is requires. </span>

Re. SSDs: <br />
Whether you use an old fashioned <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_disk_drive" target="_blank">HDD</a> for backups or an SSD, you <b>need</b> a drive with USB<b> 3 </b>connection. USB 3 is <b>much</b> faster than USB 2. <br /><ul><li>
If your current computer does not have USB 3 then your next computer will for sure. </li><li>
Laptops can generally not be upgraded from USB 2 to USB 3. </li><li>
Desktop computers generally can be upgraded to USB 3 for reasonably low cost.</li></ul>
Re. Macrium Reflect: <br />
Even if you upgrade to the paid version of the program I want to remind you that I DO NOT get any kickbacks or any other hidden compensation!<br />

Well, that was it for today. Stay safe, computer and health wise.<br />

Here is my reply, verbatim and as I have saved it as a template:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="color: #3333ff;">Hi xxx,</span>
<br />
<span style="color: #3333ff;">Thanks for asking.</span><br />
<span style="color: #3333ff;">It may be best to look for a new computer
during sales events. For computers I recommend to look at <a href="https://www.newegg.com/">Newegg.com</a>
or <a href="https://www.amazon.com/">Amazon.com</a>.
Both definitely have a MUCH larger selection than any
brick-and-mortar store can possibly offer.</span><br />
<span style="color: #3333ff;">Any new computer IMHO should go through <a href="https://eikes-computer-stuff.blogspot.com/2011/06/clean-up-job.html">my
Set-Up job</a> to be safe and protected on the Internet and
to be free of unwanted, unneeded and sometimes outright
malicious programs.<br />
</span><br />
<span style="color: #3333ff;">Here are some of the important technical
details to currently look for:</span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="color: #3333ff;">8GB or more of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random-access_memory">RAM</a>
(main memory) <br />
</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #3333ff;">Windows 10 <b>Pro</b>fessional or

I have an Amazon account AND an Amazon Prime membership.<br />
I received an email and I want to show it in a screen shot:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghB3KOXArazsStSpunRFZWwDqjex6_EHl1YraC-nBp0KFZAU9UrKpZszWkaZJFj7ziYWDS38B_dQXT9gs1RaHnT2OuV2uf-50qNxDre2sgBzm2gJAkCUMbotg_CTw4bTS8LJ2Q4n4j8vc/s1600/SreenShot003.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="881" data-original-width="849" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghB3KOXArazsStSpunRFZWwDqjex6_EHl1YraC-nBp0KFZAU9UrKpZszWkaZJFj7ziYWDS38B_dQXT9gs1RaHnT2OuV2uf-50qNxDre2sgBzm2gJAkCUMbotg_CTw4bTS8LJ2Q4n4j8vc/s640/SreenShot003.png" width="616" /></a></div>
<br />
On first glance nothing really alarming, right?<br />
BUT:<br />
The sender email address (labeled From:) looks to me totally wacky and the Reply-To address (labeled To:) IMHO is equally unlikely.<br />
The warning bells in my mind started to ring loud and clear.<br />
<br />
My wife and I use the same Amazon account all the time and thus I know that the payment method is correct and that it works.<br />
<br />
Even saving the attached PDF document to my computer and then scanning it with Malwarebytes did not show any alarms or warnings.<br />
<br />
So I opened the file in my PDF reader to check it out in more detail.<br />
<br />
The PDF document contains a link and a BIG button to supposedly go to Amazon's account and payment method web page.<br />
<br />
BUT this is what the link and the button actually would have sent my web browser to:<br />
https://t.umblr.com/redirect?z=https%3A%2F%2Fam1zn-updtaeinfmtaonsupdtee-verifyconfimationss76757855.com%2F%3Fsigninn-&t=NmVmZTU1YjdlNTBkODkzYjc0NTg1NzM0MTI2YWNhNWJkOGNiZGRjZSxjYTVkNGQyNzY5ZjI4OGQ2OGFiZjQ2ZDJmOTg3NjZlMTZkNTI5M2Y3<br />
<br />
What a crazy nightmare - and for me a clear indicator that something was VERY WRONG!<br />
<br />
I went to Amazon.com and checked in my account settings and voila, my Prime membership is paid for until September and the payment information is correct.<br />
<br />
Naturally I will report this to Amazon.<br />
<br />
MY conclusion as far it concerns you? <br /><b> </b><br />
<b>Be super vigilant, </b>never trust an email <b>and do NOT be complacent!</b><br />
<br />
Yes, IMHO it is complacent to "just click" on the big button or the link in the PDF file rather than verifying the claim made in the PDF file independent of the email and it's attachment!<br />
<br />
Stay safe, stay vigilant and pay attention to the details!<br />

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">What should I get if I buy a new computer?</span></blockquote>
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">Here is verbatim the reply that I sent to all such requests if the question came via email:</span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="color: #3333ff;">Thanks for asking.</span><br />
<span style="color: #3333ff;"><br />It may be best to look for a new computer
during special sales events. <br /><br />For computers I recommend to look at <a href="https://www.newegg.com/">Newegg.com</a>
or <a href="https://www.amazon.com/">Amazon.com</a>.
Both definitely have a MUCH larger selection than any
brick-and-mortar store can possibly offer.</span><br />
<span style="color: #3333ff;"><br />Any new computer IMHO should go through <a href="https://eikes-computer-stuff.blogspot.com/2011/06/clean-up-job.html">my

to be free of unwanted, unneeded and sometimes outright

<br />
That exactly is what PuPs are. Now that formulation with "potentially" is a protection against frivolous law suits; every PuP does <i>something</i>, in the opinion of it's author definitely something positive and useful. The word <i>potential</i> protects everybody who has to or wants to name these programs from lawsuits.<br />
<br />
In my opinion EVERY PuP out there is outright malware and it is sad that existing laws and court decisions force us to use the word <i>potential</i> at all.<br />
<br />
I happened to run across a good article (IMHO at least) about PuPs. You can find it <a href="https://blog.emsisoft.com/en/22497/potentially-unwanted-programs-pups-what-you-need-to-know/?ref=offer000002" target="_blank">here</a>. Yes, it's three years old and I believe I have already linked to it in an earlier article. I hope you don't mind to get the suggestion to refresh your memory.<br />
<br />
The article I linked to in the previous paragraph refers to an even <a href="https://blog.emsisoft.com/en/12678/mind-the-pup-top-download-portals-to-avoid/" target="_blank">older article</a> about one of the major sources of PuPs on our computers, the so called Download Portals.<br />
IMHO a refresher about this might be recommended as well.<br />
<br />
Stay safe.<br />

All of us - well, almost all of us have been conditioned to accept the so called "End User License Agreement" (EULA) for next to everything. Sometimes we agree unknowingly just by turning a new gadget ON; my classical example for that is Windows 10 with it's 12,000 words long EULA. <br />
<br />
EVERY app on our phones,<br />
EVERY program ever installed on our computers,<br />
EVERY so called "smart" or "connected" TV in our living rooms,<br />
EVERY supposedly "intelligent" device that recognizes "Google Hello" or is "Alexa enabled",<br />
EVERY of the many useful things that require an Internet connection and an app on a smart phone<br />
and many more things too numerous to list here <b>can be used to spy on us</b>.<br />
<br />
Hard to believe? Please listen to <a href="https://www.ted.com/talks/finn_myrstad_how_tech_companies_deceive_you_into_giving_up_your_data_and_privacy?utm_source=newsletter_weekly_2018-11-03&utm_campaign=newsletter_weekly&utm_medium=email&utm_content=top_left_image#t-720539" target="_blank">this 12 minutes long TED talk</a>, maybe it will change your view.<br />

Updated 2018-12-17 to include ALL current versions of MS Windows! <br />
<br />
<b>Users of ALL versions of Windows: </b><br />
<br />
<b>Please DO NOT manually check for Updates any more, now and in the future!</b><br />
<b>Insufficiently or untested updates</b> have very recently caused many home computer systems to <b>break </b>and/or show <b>erratic behavior </b>or they have led to <b>file loss</b>!<br />
<br />
Microsoft
has quietly modified the technology hidden behind Windows Update. The
gist of it is that when you check manually for Updates your Windows operating system
will be given <b>all available but eventually insufficiently tested updates! </b><br />
<br />
As
a way of avoiding that to occur Microsoft has begun to check much more
thoroughly if every given update is fully compatible with the individual
computer's hardware. They give that update to a given computer only
when the previously mentioned checks and tests end positively.<br />
<br />
<b>But all this happens only in the course of the regular, automatic update process! </b><br />
<br />
<b>If you manually 'check for updates' your computer will get ALL available updates without these compatibility tests!</b><br />
<br />
You can find an interesting article about this general problem <a href="https://www.howtogeek.com/369144/dont-upgrade-to-the-latest-operating-systems-on-day-one/" target="_blank">here</a> at HowToGeek.com. This article talks about all major operating systems including iOS and Android for cell phones. But you will find Windows 10 and Microsoft mentioned many times. Just overlook everything that does not pertain to Windows. <b>Windows 8 and 7 are now treated the same way!</b> <br />
<br />
So again and to summarize:<br />
<br />
<b>P</b><b>lease DO NOT manually check for Updates any more, now and in the future!</b><br />
<br />
Stay safe!<br />

In quite a few articles on this blog I have referred to, quoted from or linked to one of the web sites I regularly draw information from; I am talking about <a href="https://www.techsupportalert.com/" target="_blank">Tech Support Alert</a> aka Gizmo's Freeware.<br />
<br />
Two days ago they published an article titled "<span style="font-size: small;"><a href="https://www.techsupportalert.com/content/windows-10-connects-these-websites-after-clean-installation.htm" target="_blank">Windows 10 connects to these websites after a clean installation</a>". Since many of my customers are not very technically minded let me quote some points that I consider to be the important details. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">IMHO it is, to say the least, misleading to use Microsoft's wording "telemetry" when our Windows 10 systems talk to Microsoft [MS] all the time without ever having asked our permission. They even don't ever tell us about the simple fact that they do that; you have to be a technology geek and read lots of very technical stuff to even become aware of what is going on. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">The article lists 20 web sites that Windows 10 connect to when you start a brand new Windows 10 system. All these sites collect technical information about our computers <b>and</b> about us. As a simple example: Why does MS want or need to know where I am? That is information I personally would only disclose to the police if they ever wanted or needed to know that.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Here is list from above mentioned article. I have added the bold typeface in Line 1. </span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-size: small;">Windows 10 connects to one <b>or more </b>websites in these categories:
</span><br />
<ul>
<li>
Cortana and Search</li>
<li>
Certificates</li>

All this can on slower Internet connections add significantly to the time it takes for the system to start up. I have experienced that quite often when a sluggish or outright slow system all of a sudden works with normal reaction times after all that got turned off.<br />
<br />
And to top it off, the program I use to turn off this talking back to MS is from a well reputed company and totally free.<br />

For many years I use PayPal; I just received this email:<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtqe7FXZKLNdz-ucaCM6CBDgMWoONBsKb46hGMrzustsJld-huP5sLdJmyC-fn1B4P-ImkeNzNwW0-w640M9VOo4EvBjCTg_WoCqoneSvgwbO7DzU6NzbArN0NcE5CXntRWo_xcRtAho4/s1600/ScreenShot014.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="754" data-original-width="697" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtqe7FXZKLNdz-ucaCM6CBDgMWoONBsKb46hGMrzustsJld-huP5sLdJmyC-fn1B4P-ImkeNzNwW0-w640M9VOo4EvBjCTg_WoCqoneSvgwbO7DzU6NzbArN0NcE5CXntRWo_xcRtAho4/s1600/ScreenShot014.png" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Something made me more suspicious than I usually am so I moved the cursor to the "Verify Your Account" button. And YES, that button translates to a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/URL_shortening" target="_blank">shortened link</a> - as you can see in the second red square.<br />
<br />
Why would a well reputed company like PayPal ever use a shortened link?<br />
<br />
I admit, the email looks convincing and even sort of professional.<br />
<br />
Before I hit the Delete button in my email program, I took above screen shot for this blog post.<br />
<br />
Stay safe!<br />

A scammer from India came up with a new twist of an old ruse.<br />
<br />
Look at this screen shot of the offending email as shown in my email program:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhElPN4U97CEXX9xoNj9cvoJPsqwR4RemsSADmdlAbcnpGFQrpacyAcKRBGb5MkbSfh14P2YnpZdfkEDOoCF7LkbXQGrsyrWzijztY-ITKWDD3himlQPDgzns0ieWh30yDa1imjDsldmF8/s1600/ScreenShot012.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="438" data-original-width="881" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhElPN4U97CEXX9xoNj9cvoJPsqwR4RemsSADmdlAbcnpGFQrpacyAcKRBGb5MkbSfh14P2YnpZdfkEDOoCF7LkbXQGrsyrWzijztY-ITKWDD3himlQPDgzns0ieWh30yDa1imjDsldmF8/s1600/ScreenShot012.png" /></a></div>
<br />
Btw. following references to the blue or red squares do in no way refer to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BattleBots" target="_blank">BattleBots</a>. 😉<br />
<br />
In the blue square we have the sender's email address. I believe that NO administrator in the whole wide world would ever use an AOL email account for his official business. Some criticism of AOL can be found <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AOL#Criticism" target="_blank">here</a>. <br />
<br />
In the first red square you see my cursor on the VERIFY NOW link and because of that you can see in the second red square the textual representation of what web page that link would actually send my browser to - if I were sufficiently un-attentive to click my mouse in that situation.<br />
<br />
The target web page is on a server in India at "managershub"! You don't see that? Learn how to read <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/URL" target="_blank">URL</a>s.<br />
<br />
And I don't even use what the scammer refers to as a "Web-mail system".<br />
<br />
To top it off there are <b>three</b> simple spelling errors or typos in the short text of the email; unprofessional to the hilt! <br />
<br />
Sum total: An old but time honored scam in a new dress - but not even a fancy dress.<br />
<br />
Again it comes down to the first of my <a href="https://eikes-computer-stuff.blogspot.com/2013/07/10-commandments-of-safe-computing.html" target="_blank">ten commandments for safe computing</a>:<br />

And again it is a customer's question that triggers me to write on this blog. The customer, thank you Steve H, asked simply "What is your opinion of Microsoft Edge vs Firefox?".<br />
<br />
Here is my reply: <br />
<br />
I strongly advise <b>against </b>using any web browser from Microsoft! <br />
<br />
I collected some articles for your enjoyment that can give you some background for my various reasons. The articles quotes are in no particular sequence.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.newegg.com/" target="_blank">Test Link</a><br />
<br />
<a href="https://betanews.com/2015/07/30/microsoft-edge-introduces-new-security-risks-in-windows-10/" target="_blank">Microsoft Edge introduces new security risks in Windows 10</a> https://betanews.com/2015/07/30/microsoft-edge-introduces-new-security-risks-in-windows-10/<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="https://www.tomsguide.com/us/edge-ie-flaw-no-fix,news-24565.html" target="_blank">IE, Edge Users at Risk from Serious Browser Security Flaw</a> </span>https://www.tomsguide.com/us/edge-ie-flaw-no-fix,news-24565.html<br />
<br />
<a href="https://betanews.com/2015/10/19/windows-10-users-ignore-microsoft-edge-for-a-reason/" target="_blank">Windows 10 users ignore Edge for a reason</a> https://betanews.com/2015/10/19/windows-10-users-ignore-microsoft-edge-for-a-reason/<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blog.trendmicro.com/trendlabs-security-intelligence/windows-10s-new-browser-microsoft-edge-improved-but-also-new-risks/" target="_blank">Windows 10's new browser Microsoft Edge: Improved but also new risks</a> https://blog.trendmicro.com/trendlabs-security-intelligence/windows-10s-new-browser-microsoft-edge-improved-but-also-new-risks/ <br />
<br />
Before you ask let me please preempt the question about Google Chrome vs. Firefox:<br />
<br />
So far the main argument for Chrome was "it is faster". That was and is a phony argument that shows a deplorable lack of knowledge by the people using it. I'll give you an example.<br />
<br />
Let's assume from the moment you click on a link to having the new web page in front of your eyes it takes all together 10 seconds.<br />
<br />
90% of that time is needed to get the many little files that comprise a web page from the server these files reside on to your computer. We and/or the web browser have <b>no way</b> to make that faster.<br />
<br />
The last 10% of the time is used by the web browser to "convert " the many little files into the picture we see; this process is called rendering. And that actually was where Chrome <b>was </b>faster.<br />
<br />
MS Edge, the new version of Firefox and others have closed and/or eliminated that speed gap.<br />
<br />
If Chrome were 30% faster in rendering the web page that would be only 0.3 seconds. Even in a direct A/B comparison we would not be able to experience that difference.<br />
<br />
Additionally: The Chrome web store, from where you'd download any <a href="https://www.howtogeek.com/169080/beginner-geek-everything-you-need-to-know-about-browser-extensions/">browser extension</a> you might want or need, has been plagued by <a href="https://blog.malwarebytes.com/threat-analysis/2016/01/rogue-google-chrome-extension-spies-on-you/">rogue extensions</a> (only one example here, there are many more!). You may find way too late that the extension you downloaded and installed was rogue.<br />
<br />
So for me it is clear:<br />
<br />
<b>No </b>to Google Chrome and ANY Microsoft browser; IMHO the only well supported alternative is Firefox. <br />
<br />
<br />
Stay safe.Eike Heinzehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05881355719827719615noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5500651434211027064.post-4398038388840557962018-02-01T12:52:00.000-06:002018-02-01T12:52:33.806-06:00FINALLY - Microsoft comes to (their?) senses<br />
FINALLY something IMHO long overdue is going to happen:<br /><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Microsoft will start to remove the worst of the bad ones! </div>
<br />
Please <a href="https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/microsoft/microsoft-drops-the-hammer-on-coercive-registry-cleaners-and-system-optimizers/?utm_source=howtogeek&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=newsletter" target="_blank">read the details here</a>.<br />
<br />
You don't need to call me if after March 1st. your "Optimizer program" has gone missing. I will wait and see what else they (Micro$oft) will declare "coercive" and then remove. <br />
<br />
Stay safe!<br />

Have you read about and eventually been concerned about these bugs?<br />
<br />
First and foremost: Please DO NOT confuse cloud storage of data with cloud computing; these are two very different animals. If you use cloud storage you and your data are NOT directly affected! And as far as I know these attacks are difficult to pull off in the
first place and I don't personally know anybody who actively uses cloud
computing. <br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.howtogeek.com/338269/a-huge-intel-security-hole-could-slow-down-your-pc-soon/" target="_blank">Here is a good and fairly easily to read article</a> that explains the details much better then I ever could.<br />
<br />
My short synopsis: If you are using a regular home computer I believe you are and most likely will remain safe. These bugs MIGHT affect companies that run their software, web sites, email systems and what not on Cloud Services like <a href="https://aws.amazon.com/" target="_blank">Amazon Web Services</a>, <a href="https://cloud.google.com/" target="_blank">Google Cloud Computing</a>, and/or <a href="https://azure.microsoft.com/" target="_blank">Microsoft Azure</a>.<br />
<br />
Don't get overly alarmed but <b>install updates as soon as they are available</b>,<b> </b>especially updates for the Windows Operating system and your web browser.<br />
<br />
Stay safe.<br />
<br />

Have you ever or are you sometimes watching a YouTube video or two?<br />
<br />
Have you ever or are you sometimes looking at something or even buying something on Amazon?<br />
<br />
If you can answer any of above questions with Yes then <b>you should read <a href="https://www.howtogeek.com/335615/the-amazon-vs.-google-feud-explained-and-how-it-affects-you/" target="_blank">this article</a>.</b><br />
<br />
It shows very clearly why I always say that, no matter what companies say, we, the paying customer, are a voiceless, powerless "necessary evil". <b>They just don't give a hoot about us.</b><br />
<br />
Their talk of "how important" their customers are and how they care for us and how important it is for them "to serve the customer" <b>is nothing but marketing hullabaloo</b> and all too often they just plainly lie to us.<br />
<br />
Never the less, I will stick with my Amazon Prime account and I will keep using Google's services.<br />
<br />
<b>For now at least.</b><br />

<br />
Likely every direct or indirect Yahoo user got this or an email similar to this:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">DO NOT CLICK on the RESET link! This email is a scam!</span><br />
<br />
As you can see my cursor was on the RESET link in the text when I took this screenshot.<br />
<br />
Please look at the red framed box in the left bottom corner. You can easily see that the link would take you to <b>helpdeskhomezone.com</b>, a web site that obviously has NOTHING AT ALL to do with Yahoo! It is your guess what might happen if you do click on it.<br />
<br />
Just the line where these crooks address me, "Dear ejkheinze@att.net" is another simple giveaway. No even vaguely reasonable company would address a customer like that!<br />
<br />
Again, check every link in emails in this way BEFORE you click!<br />
<br />
THINK TWICE and stay safe!<br />
