    Hotmail finally offering POP/IMAP access!

    Hotmail finally offering POP/IMAP access!

     

    ... and it's about bleeding time. Though this has been available via Outlook (courtesy of the Outlook Connector), this hasn't been viable for those either;

     

    1. Without Outlook

    2. Unwilling/unable to install the connector

    3. Unaware of the connector

    4. Wanting to access the accounts via script

     

    Now that they are offering this for all accounts without requiring this, it now means everyone and their dog can access their accounts via whichever program they choose, or if they so wish, via their own custom scripts/programs.

     

    Read more over at the FireTrust blog;

     

    http://www.firetrust.com/en/blog/chris/hot...and-imap-access

     

    For those wanting the quick low-down, the access details (courtesy of Chris at Firetrust) are;

    o POP server: pop3.live.com

    o POP server port: 995

    o POP SSL required? Yes

    o User name: Your Windows Live ID, for example yourname@hotmail.com

    o Password: The password you usually use to sign in to Hotmail or Windows Live

    o SMTP server: smtp.live.com

    o SMTP server port: 25

    o SMTP Authentication required? Yes (same as POP3 username and password)

    o SMTP SSL required? Yes

    What will they think of next?

    Swiss Army Knife gets a built-in MP3 player

     

    February 7, 2006 The Swiss Army Knife has been one of the most sought-after gadgets by technophiles for 115 years, and it?s pleasing to see that Victorinox is still updating and innovating. Not long ago it added USB memory to one of the variants and has now gone one step further. The new s.beat digital audio player is an all-in-one 4GB digital audio player and USB storage device incorporated into a full-metal Swiss Army Knife. Built with the same level of precision the Swiss are renowned for, the knife and MP3 comes with a lifetime warranty. Now go try to peel an apple with your MP3 player!

    antivirus software

    in Windows Security

    Posted

    I use avast! Free and Avira Antivirus on my old PIII because I could not get avast! to run on it.

     

    Malwarebytes MBAM is not an anti virus application but is a very good application to have.

     

    I would not have Norton nor McAfee even if they gave me a system to run either of them on.

     

    AVG has become a bit bloated and the forum for it is terrible and one of the reasons I switched to avast!

     

    Chose one and keep it updated at least daily.

    Top Internet Security Suites: Paying for Protection

    Using security software is more important than ever. Our tests of the latest all-in-one security suites show that good protection can shut down the nastiest viruses, spyware, and adware.

    In the early days of computer viruses, you could get by with careful surfing--and without antivirus protection. Now, crooks love nothing more than to discover a nasty zero-day security flaw for which there's no defense, and then to infiltrate otherwise benign and popular Web sites with hidden, malicious programming made to attack that security flaw. While relatively uncommon, such tactics can catch even the most careful surfer. Like it or not, you need security tools.

     

    Also, though Norton's detection rate is very good, it isn't the best: Avira's Premium Security Suite took top honors again this year in identifying both known and unknown malware. What's more, you'll have to pay for the best. At $70 for three PCs, Norton was the second-most-costly suite we tested;

    I would still have Malwarebytes MBAM as well.

    Secure File Deletion differences

    in CCleaner

    Posted

    I think that the Gutmann myth is so entrenched that it will not disappear voluntarily. The only way to remove it is for software vendors to stop including it as part of their products.

    I have been saying that about CCleaner ever since Secure Deletion offered more than Simple Overwrite (1 pass) :rolleyes:

    Well, at least "cabbagerolls" were one i didn't like. Don't know if i would like them now, probably not. I don't know if they are made outside of Finland? But other wise, i liked pretty much all foods.

    My firewall no longer works in my Virus program AVG

    Yo Kenny,

    I do want to go to Avast or Avir, should I first uninstall all traces of AVG before down loading another ? I had Avir for a short time and was going to go to it when all this happened and I was advised to remove it. In the time you are chaging programs how vunerable are you?

     

    I really enjoyed the video, i learned a lot and am on my way to get malwarebytes malware, it also recommends 2-3 malware programs, what do you think of spybot?

     

    Thank you so much

    While you are changing programs do not do any surfing nor open any emails.

     

    I thought you said you had AVG?

    You must totally un-install AVG and do a reboot or it will cause problems with the new anti virus.

     

    Spybot S&D has gone downhill and I do not use it any more.

     

    I use Malwareytes MBAM, Windows Defender and WinPatrol.
