KIM are you using spyware

Latest scam is an email that looks as if it comes from Ebay. Says that you need to click on the link and at that time you go to a false ebay site. Where they ask for your user name and password. Any user name and password will work. This is to build you up to belive that this is the true ebays site. You ask your self how would they know my user name and password? They then ask for credit card information and mothers madin name, brith dates,and so on. if you are asked to by ebay for information use a false password to make sure they do know your correct password

There are many bad people out there. so please think twice.

Other helpful tip. If ads pops up on the screen. Do not click on the box to close it. don't vote who you think should be president and you are never the 1,000,000 vistor of a site. Use the mouse and in the task bar while hovering over the tab for that site click the right mouse button and then close the ie explorer that was open by the popup.

Saw your "ne" and thought I'd hollar back.

Much of our business is run across the 'net and so of course, we have to be as careful as we can about fire walling, fighting viruses and trying to keep the bad guys out.

At any given time, we have something like 21 machines running and we've got 4 dishes up on the roof to access the ‘net via broadband serving satellites.

Point being is that I've been noticing that for the past couple of years these links are getting slower and slower and slower.

So, I get mad the other day and call tech support, ranting and raving about all the money we're spending on this broadband service and how it is now dragging like common a telephone dial up connection. I further accuse them of “throttling” our links.

The tech very calmly and politely runs all the necessary tests and goes thru the usual checklist. Come to find out, the problem lies here within our offices and our triple layered fire-walling.

But, whadda gonna do? If they want in badly enough, I think that they can get in..... .

It’s the age we live in, I guess

I'm out here in Chadron and so far out that we have no choice other than the satellites due to our huge transfer volumes.

Fact is, we are so far out here, that they have to pump sunlight to us! :>)

I asked the local cable provider when we would have service to our area, and he told me, “Never”. :>)

Hoping you have a good day,

Allan

Never heard of that one. :>)

Look above your name in your post. Your dynamic IP address is there. It is just a way of tracking who is where and when they were there.

Happens all the time on the 'Net and from everywhere else in this world for that matter.

Make a phone call to anyone, anywhere from any phone. It is recorded. Send an email to anyone, anywhere. It is recorded. Walk into about any business anywhere. It is recorded.

I promise. :>)

Woke up in the middle of the night worring about an untruth I posted....Geeeeze! I'm gettin' bad.

It is the ISP's static IP address.

Groan :>(

I coulnd't remember the name of the outfit; but from what I understand, it keeps track of every electronic transmission in the world, not just us.

What's that they were talking about just a few short years ago? Big Brother? More like Big Father if ya ask me.

One of these days all individuals will probably be implanted with a tracking chip at birth. :>)
