Today I was asked to install a purchased copy of Norton 360 premium on a clients new laptop. Great. I created a Norton account linked to his email and then verified the email.

The next step required me to register for renewal and also provide a credit card for future billing. What if I only wanted the software for the next year and did not want to enter a credit card or even worse have no credit card. Well according to Norton, this adding of a credit card and registering for automatic renewal is MANDATORY!!

Go figure. I paid for software but can’t use it unless I register with a cc. I called Norton to see if this could be bypassed. Nope!! After you register you then have to go back to your account and deactivate renewal but they probably still have your card details..

Not impressed.

This morning I received a call from a client asking why he received about a dozen spam emails today related primarily about Anti-virus subscriptions that had expired. Came from Norton and Mcafee as well as Telstra, and a variety of others. We flagged them as spam. Later this morning at a second client who is also with Bigpond had an almost identical set of spam emails. Deleted them.

Be careful not to be lured in.

2 years ago I was told about a request for computer equipment for the Bayside Woman's Shelter. I contacted the local Councillor Councillor Christina Curry and asked what they needed. Once I had an idea, I put together a complete system, including Desktop, Monitor, Speakers, We**am, keyboard, Mouse. I then arrange from Christina to come and collect the equipment as privacy of the shelter location was important....

A few weeks ago, a client of mine contacted me stating that their QNAP NAS had been attacked by a ransomware virus. The only saving grace was that they had taken a backup to an external USB drive a week earlier. Now to gain access to the QNAP NAS and reset the device, I took it to my office, put the device on a isolated network created by a standalone router, to prevent by office systems from potentially being impacted....

Many people have had their Facebook website hacked and a fake profile created which then sends out friend requests to your Facebook friends. Within Facebook , navigate to Settings and Privacy, and then click on Security and Login. On the right hand panel, scroll down to the section on Two-Factor Authentication. Here you can choose to use the authentication app or get a SMS 6 digit code sent to your mobile number when an attempt is made to login to your account from an unrecognized device. Add one of these options to better secure your account.
