Warning – Fake Microsoft messages

I’ve been receiving emails for a couple of weeks, purportedly coming from Microsoft, telling me I needed to click on a link in order to verify my account as they were changing the terms and conditions of service. Being security conscious, I’d always carefully scrutinised the message headers and noted that they DIDN’T emanate from Microsoft, so realised they were a scam – phishing emails.
Yesterday however, I received an email which seemed completely genuine, so I clicked on the link. I was taken to a website with the Microsoft logo and login. Having put in my username and password, I was shown an error message – ‘The site is currently unavailable, please try later’.
Within a couple of hours, I had an alert from Microsoft that my account had been logged into from Rumania.
I’ve changed the password and enabled dual-factor authentication so should be secure again, but this is a warning to all, particularly if you have Outlook/Hotmail/Microsoft accounts, but the same presumably applies to Gmail etc: do not click on any link asking you to change your password, unless you know your account has been compromised.
I’m now kicking myself for my gullibility!

CUDECA Appeal for Cards

Many thanks to all the people who have donated their used Christmas cards.  We got a wonderful response.  Keep them coming as our volunteers are sitting with scissors glueand sparkle in hand waiting to begin for next year.

We still have Calendars for sale at 3 euros each for this year.  They are very good value.

Thank you for helping to Put Life into Days for very ill people.

Regards, Mary Lynch. Nerja CUDECA shop.

Services Available The Ultimate Windows Maintenence Service

DoctorLaptop’s Jan&Feb 2016 Special

This service goes much deeper that the typical Clean and Tuneup.

Using professional strength tools I will clear system of all malware, adware and unnecessary old system files, optimize performance and networking, check for and correct hard disk and System errors, update all programs and drivers, and install 2 browser protection add-on. Price 50 euros (reg. 75 euros). These are the tools I use on every “Ultimate” cleanup on Windows machines.

ESET OnLine, Malwarebytes, Ccleaner-Pro, RogueKiller and RKill, Little Reg Cleaner, Junkware Removal Tool, ADWCleaner, Hitman Pro, HiJackThis, ComboFix, ASC-Pro, GiveMePower, IObit Uninstaller Tool, Ghostery, AdBlock+, NetAdapter, TDSSKiller, SpinRite and Scannow.

Units with hardware problems, that won’t start-up properly or showing serious Error Messages need a repair, not this maintenance. Please do a backup of your data before bringing in your computer for this service because any infected data or data/programs damaged by malware will be removed. If you have no backup and want me to do a full system image backup for you bring an external hard disk to store it on. You can buy a 1 Tb backup drive for about 70 euros at any shop selling computer accessories. I will add a small data transfer charge depending on how data you have. Due to the numerous, lengthy system scans involved the job needs to be done at my lab and takes 2 to 3 days.

Services Available – Solar Panels . Responses to David

(1)

David –  More information is needed on which to base any advice. What rating are the solar panels, is the controller MPPT or other, what type of inverter are you using, what size are the batteries, etc.  I would be prepared to give you any advice I can, I run my own solar installation, on a personal basis – email me, TonyB,  on: dgm0113 (at) theberrys (dot) org

(2)

David asks about solar power.

when we bought our house in 1994, we inherited 1 panel and 1 12v car battery – we added a panel and new batteries, and managed for many years with just this – with gas appliances for water heating/fridge etc. This time of year was always a struggle as the days are still too short. We didn’t have the luxury of LED bulbs then, as they simply weren’t around! It sounds like you are using more power than you are generating. Do you have any gauges/meters so you know exactly what you are producing each day? Are the panels dusty if you live near a track? this can cut down the input dramatically. Are the batteries in good enough condition that they are holding their charge?

When we eventually had access to mains power, we kept the solar system as well,  and 2 years ago upgraded it so that the house is all 220 volt, but all power comes from the batteries, with mains just being used very occasionally to charge them if they don’t cope. Our system was put in by Robert and Roger of Competa Solar Sundays, and we are more than satisfied with it. Robert has unfortunately retired, but Roger the electrician is still working (competaroger at yahoo dot co dot uk), and may be able to help

Hope this helps – if David wants to get in touch directly with me for advice, please do so
