Scary Pop Ups on the Web

Yesterday while reading an article on the web, a Pop Up window appeared with a "Warning" telling me my computer had been infected and to click "Continue" for further information. It looked like a Microsoft Windows announcement, so I thought it was part of the new Windows 7 protection we've all heard about and I clicked on it.

Big Mistake!

It took me to another window that showed a scan of my computer and as it scanned, it added line after line of

Passwords - Time to take another look?

I recently read an article discussing weak passwords and how it was allowing easy access to their accounts by attackers. For instance, users of a RockYou most commonly used the password "123456". And 50% of all people use slang, dictionary words or common keyboard letters such as "qwerty".

It made me think about my passwords and I went back to review the Forum article about passwords
"Set and remember better passwords"

Nevada's first state park is a geologic wonder with red rock that has been carved and etched by the elements for millions of years resulting in some of nature's more fascinating sculptures and spectacular vi… Continue

How to get organized - It's simple

While looking over some of last year's blogs I noticed a theme where my entries revolved around holidays. So instead of "New Year's Resolutions 2010" I am titling this blog "How to get organized - It's simple".

We are all soooo busy these days, it seems like we don't have time for anything or anyone extra. I recall reading in "Agency Sales" magazine 2 years ago that the average U.S. worker wastes 2 hours a week trying to find stuff. And that's just work. How much time do you waste looking for s… Continue
