SuperDave Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 I wonder how many people fall for it.... Probably a lot, otherwise they wouldn't do it. Some people are so naive. Notice how general that email was, not mentioning my service provider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manderlyh Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Just a reminder... Pictures posted on the Internet are NOT public domain... http://www.trafford.com/FAQ/Copyright.aspx Which pictures can I use without permission? Without permission from the original photographer or copyright holder, only pictures that you have personally taken can be used without permission (unless a photo is "in the public domain" because the copyright has expired). If a picture is found in a book, newspaper or magazine, you cannot use the image without getting permission. Pictures and information found on the Internet are not "public domain." Most material found on the Internet is copyright protected. Additionally, photographers retain the rights to photographs they take, even if the picture is of you or a family member. You need to obtain permission from the photographer even if you purchased a print of the photograph. When in doubt, get permission or consult a legal professional.

silvermedalist Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Just got nailed with that scam virus that attempts to get you to buy virus removal programs. This time Im fighting it myself. I downloaded spy doctor and it got me where I can now navigate and i just turned the laptop off. I am hoping the little green icon is gone when I fire it up again. But if it isnt Ill use the other one they recommended on thebleepingpc.com I am wondering why my battery indicator is stuck on 12 percent all of a sudden and I can only power up using the ac chord? The laptop is not that old but I guess it could be the battery? Wondering if this virus could have an affect on that also? I wish someone would go after whoever is stealing credit card money on this scam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
