Not sure this a topic for here so let me know. I'm looking for a new phone and will either get the IPhone 4 or the Galexy something or other. Like the larger screen size on the Galexy but already own an iPod & iPad and they're hooked into iTunes and my outlook so my contacts and calendars sync. ...

You guys are having way too much fun with this. How bout a Sherman tank?

thewolfe

Nope, they were both on but ran one and then the other.

thewolfe

Nope - not going to pursue.

Progie to convert mov to avi, that's all folks! Got handbrake on one of my computers. Will see what she do.

Desktop Dell Inspiron 580, I5, 8GB - Speed up 23.49 Speed down 30.88
Laptop Dell Inspiron 1525, 2 duo, 3GB - Speed up 18.63 Speed down 38.01

Why would my "down" be faster on my laptop?

I also have a large password but thought I had a key logger on my computer that would mean the greatest password on the world would be useless.

Pretty sure the malwarebytes hit was a false positive. But how a file called "stolen data" ever got into my App Data folder,,,,,,,,,,,,

thewolfe

I can't forget my password because it's 123456............................... just kidding.

thewolfe

Any downside to using random passwords with a password manger like 1password or LastPass? My only concern would be never knowing what a particular password would be for a site in case I couldn't get to the password manager. But, most likely if I couldn't get to the password manager I couldn't get on...

Just found this in Program files in the Control Panel "cve-2012-1889"

Looks like a bad guy.

Thanks, I'm trying to get someone to read a combofix log for me to see if they see anything suspicious.

thewolfe

Thanks for the posts. I'm normally very careful but that one file MalewareBytes found freaked me out. "Stolen Data" is not the name of a file you want to find on your computer.

thewolfe

Is there a site or place I could go to look up some of my particular keys. Here's a few. Do they look like they have any pertinent info? {00020802-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} {00020813-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} {00020905-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} {EAB22AC0-30C1-11CF-A7EB-0000C05BAE0B} {00062F...

Malwarebytes found a file on my computer "AppData\Roaming\SAS7_000.DAT (Stolen Data) I removed the file and also looked at it. It had a bunch of registry keys {ooo2000-000-000-0000000000046} this is not exact. I'm using another computer to get info and have "unplugged" the computer fr...

I did get a screen when I went into the BIOS. But when I tried to use the disk it wouldn't run. So I think the OS was acting up and then the disks with were made are no good. I can see her data hooking the HD up to another computer. I think she would need to install a new OS and if she doesn't have ...

thewolfe

Don't know other than the computer wasn't running correctly so she started to re-install and that's when the re-install quit and it no longer would bootup.

thewolfe

I can see her HD and Windows files when I hook it up to another computer with my USB to SATA cable but no personal files and nothing under "User". Can I deduce that it might just be her OS that's gone south? I think she was in the middle of re-installing the OS when it went black on her. B...

thewolfe

How about a USB to SATA ?

thewolfe

Get a blank screen and according to my friend it had quit working and she was trying to re-install Windows with no joy. When I go into the BIOS into Diagnostics and hit Diagnose the "Test status" says No IDE Device. Most likely just the hard drive? Should I be able to see a Windows CD in t...

Thanks for the post Jeff250, that helps a bit.

And I don't use the same password for other sites....Lastpass is my friend.

thewolfe

Question is somewhat academic and there are times when searching on Google that the only hit that I'm interested in is a "questionable" site.

Thanks for the posts.

thewolfe

To use as a " sandbox" option. Safe way to open questionable website.

thewolfe

Is there a sandbox feature in Firefox? And if not, If I run Oracle virtual box and go to a website through Internet Explorer or Firefox, And I protected against viruses and malware?

thewolfe

How "bout dis? Scratched, drilled & bent.

thewolfe

Does that mean "money" and it works or "money" but it doesn't work?

thewolfe

I have a friend who want's to get his website and business better know (advertised) using SEO (Search engine optimization) and using Google +.......The company doing this would be http://www.supermedia.com/what-we-do/

Is this bull or can these company's really get your name out there?

thewolfe

I got an e-mail from LogMeIn that their free account was going to be limited to 10 clients and that they would take the first 10 in my account and the rest would not work any more. http://www.pcworld.com/article/2031000/ ... what-.html

thewolfe

Thanks for the posts.

thewolfe

I agree but since theses hd's belonged to friends that are trusting me to destroy their data I want to be sure.

How about a little sandpaper on the platters after removing them?

thewolfe

Taking platters out. Now ...bend them, scratch them, run a sander over them......What should I do........How far do I have to go?

thewolfe

OK! I'm taking my 23 hard drives apart and then ripping out the platters. How does that sound?

thewolfe

Thinking about drilling holes. One enough or.........

thewolfe

She is going to send me the mfg and model. She got it because the power is off and on a lot in her area.

thewolfe

A friend said that since she started using a UPS her computer starts up after an hour or more after shutting it down.

Is that possible?

thewolfe

Thanks for the info.

thewolfe

Still trying to determine what I should look for in the specs of the monitor to get a non-glossy screen.. Are LCD & LED both the same finish?

thewolfe

I'm going to buy a new monitor but need a mat type finish on the screen rather than a "shinny" screen.

What is the verbiage (description) of the screens?

thewolfe

Thanks for the posts.

thewolfe

My reg isn't corrupted but probably has a lot of leftovers after deleting programs although I use Revo Uninstaller that does a god job of getting the stragglers.

thewolfe

I use Ccleaner but not the Registry area. Normally don't like to mess with the registry although I can back it up and also do a "Restore point" to be safe. What say you?

Heard Steve Gibson (grc.com) talk about using it on the Security Now show with Leo Laporte.
