| | Written by Administrator | | Saturday, 14 May 2011 14:57 | From the PreyProject website: Prey lets you keep track of your phone or laptop at all times, and will help you find it if it ever gets lost or stolen. It's lightweight, open source software, and free for anyone to use. And it just works. There is a great story here about a Prey user tracking his stolen laptop across town from thousands of miles away. Essentially you install Prey and it runs with a low impact memory footprint (for Windows users - in the background for a logged in user) and checks periodically that a trigger URL (that you own) is still in place. If your laptop is lost or stolen, then remove the URL (say delete a blog post or any URL you control), Prey then uses this as a trigger to start reporting its (the laptops) position to you and can take pictures through the web cam. Hopefully, the information that is relayed back to you will enable you to recover the laptop. Pretty cool .... works on android phones too (an SMS triggers the reports) with an iPhone version under development. | | Last Updated on Saturday, 14 May 2011 15:28 | | | Written by ILIUM SOFTWARE | | Thursday, 27 May 2010 18:58 | 5 tips to protect yourself and a great security tool that makes it easy

Keep reading for some online safety tips, and to see why eWallet is the perfect security tool for following these simple steps. | | Last Updated on Thursday, 05 August 2010 19:52 | | Read more... | | Written by Software Reviewer | | Saturday, 05 December 2009 14:30 | Logging software is insidious malware. For example, even if you are scrupulous with your password management and the use of secure web sites, a text logger can undo all that hard work by tracking all the text you type.
Passwords can therefore be logged and potentially sent across the internet without your knowledge if you get this spyware on your system.
Many of the big name "internet security" suites a good at preventing known keylogging software from being installed on your computer, but if they miss one, they are usually not so good (if they even try at all) with stopping logging activities.
This is where a software utility liike Zemana AntiLogger comes into play ... | | Last Updated on Wednesday, 13 October 2010 11:50 | | Read more... | | | Written by Security Guru | | Friday, 08 August 2008 23:32 | Here's a novel approach to backing up some of your data ...

The Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer can check computers running Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows 7, Windows® Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, Windows Vista, Windows XP or Windows 2000. The scanning of computers for security updates with this tool requires "Windows Server Update Services", that means you must have administrator privileges for each computer you want to scan.
