How do I download this show?
Hey O’Day,
Added an iTunes button under the “Find the show at the following” header on the sidebar.
I am not into Twitter/Facebook/similar, but I did like the Exif cleaning tool.
Some suggestions for next programs:
- Encryption software
- Email encryption
- Firewalls
MP3 is the best format for me, thank you.
Also I recently learned of a scam in my country, Ireland, that consists on calling the computer user on the phone (everyone got a computer nowadays) they tell him/her they call from Microsoft and a virus has been detected on their computer, then they give the user a website where to download a tool to clean the allegedly “infected” computer, under risk of losing all data if they don’t, etc…
On visiting the website they are asked for €20 to download the software.
I think that thanks to VoIP, ie cheap calls, and because most people now know about the email phishing scams, more and more scams will be done through the phone calls.
Hey Jon,
Email sent.
