Use this checklist to make sure your email came from
 PayPal:

 Check the greeting:
 We always address you by your first and last name, or by
 the business
 name on your PayPal account.

 Check the link before you click:
 Before you click a link in an email, hover your cursor over
 the link and
 check the web address. If the web address doesn't start
 with

Online Banking Are You safe ?

When you access your bank account online you probably don't think that at that exact moment there may be a hacker, somewhere in the world, trying to steal your bank information and your money.


• Beware the Risks of Joint Bank Accounts
• A Cheat Sheet on Tipping Do's and Don'ts
• Learn Grocery Pricing Secrets and Save

Your bank offers secure online banking, so why should you worry, right?
Despite banks' efforts to protect accounts from the online crooks, hacker attacks remain a serious threat that cost Americans millions of dollars each year. The Internet Crime Complaint Center reported that Americans lost about $559 million to Internet thieves in 2009. That is more than twice the 2008 figure, when $268 million was stolen on the Internet, according to the center.

"Last year there were more online bank robberies than there were actual on-site bank robberies," says Sean Sullivan, a security adviser at F-Secure, an Internet security firm. "Banks have become very proactive in protecting accounts from hackers, but it's still quite a large problem. We see all types of new attempts every day."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Biggest Threat

Banking Trojans -- malicious code specifically designed for banking fraud -- are one of the biggest threats to consumers who bank online, Sullivan says. They are invisible and can steal multiple types of data, including passwords. Some more advanced types of Trojans can make fraudulent transfers and drain your account while you are logged on to the account online, he says.



Is Your Bank Safe?
The more questions and passwords you are asked to enter in order to log in to your account, the safer is your bank's website.

If your bank only asks you to enter a username and password to log in its website is not as secure as it should be, Sullivan says.

Some banks require customers to create a username, a site key name and use personalized pictures or symbols that appear during the login process. In addition, banks should ask customers to answer a security question before gaining access to their account.

"The more layers you have before you get to your account, the safer you are," Sullivan says.

Who's Liable?
In the event you become a victim of online theft, act quickly and know your rights. The general rule for consumer checking and savings accounts is the bank is liable for most of the damage, as long as you report the illicit transfer in a timely manner. But if you have a line of credit account or a business account, you need to be extra careful, because the bank will not always be obligated to pay for your loss.
"It is based on whether the customer's conduct with respect to security was reasonable," he says. In that case the court will ultimately determine who was more at fault for the breach -- the bank or the consumer.

Business Accounts
Business accounts are the most vulnerable to hacker attacks and the least protected by the law. Hackers are much more inclined to break into a six-figure business account than a consumer account with a few thousand dollars, Sullivan says.
"There are hundreds of cases of thefts of money from small business deposit accounts each year," Johnson says.
Business accounts are regulated by the Uniform Commercial Code, or UCC, which requires banks to maintain "commercial reasonable authentication security procedures," in any kind of wire transfer, he says.
"If the bank can show the breach was caused by something the customer did the bank is not liable," Johnson says.

California attorney Nada Alnajafi says most small businesses don't understand the risk they are taking when they use wire-transfer accounts.
"I don't think a lot of them understand they are taking almost full risk for any potential issues," she says.
She is representing a small Los Angeles business owner who lost $50,000 after a hacker committed a fraudulent transfer from his Bank of America account to a Croatian Bank. She filed a lawsuit on behalf of her client against Bank of America in February because the bank refused to take responsibility for the theft, she says.

Bank of America claims it is not liable for the illicit transfer. The lawsuit is pending.

How to Help Protect Your Account
• Don't access your account from a shared computer.
• Be certain your computer has anti-virus, firewall and anti-spyware programs, including security software with automatic updates.
• If you are using wireless service, check the settings on your computer to make sure the connection is encrypted. Don't connect to your account using a public network, like the ones you find at a coffee shop or at the airport.
• Review your statements regularly and carefully, and report any suspicious activity to your bank immediately.
• Use a strong password with letters and numbers combined. Don't use the same password for multiple accounts.
• Log out after every session.

Help your PC run faster, Vista and windows 7

1. Limit how many programs run at startup


There are a lot of programs that load automatically when you boot up your PC—which can really hamper performance. To manage these programs like a pro, learn how to get a comprehensive view of what's running:
Click the Start button , and type System Configuration in the search window. Select it from the list of results.

2. Select the Startup tab. The files set to run at startup are indicated with a check mark. You can uncheck nonessential programs—but make sure you only disable programs you're familiar with. When in doubt, leave it checked.
A clean machine is a fast machine.

1. Delete things like trial software
2. Anti-virus software that your not using or did not like. Get one that suits your needs.

How to do it.

1. Click the Start button and select Control Panel.


2. Underneath Programs, click Uninstall a program. (If you don't see this page, change the View by option in the top right-hand corner to Category.)

3. Select the program you want to delete and click Uninstall.


Make ReadyBoost your friend


It's all very well to advise you to close programs you're not using—but just because you're not using it now doesn't mean you won't be using it in 10 minutes. The answer is ReadyBoost, a super helpful feature that can use the extra space on a flash card or USB storage device to speed up your PC. Plug in a compatible storage device and click Speed up my system when you see the AutoPlay dialog box.


Restart often and clean your hard disk


The more you use your PC, the more applications you use and the more services you're running. Closing an application doesn't always close the service. That's why rebooting fixes so many problems; it clears out the memory. Restart at least once a week. Your best bet? Turn off your PC every night. Not only will you clear out your memory, but you'll save energy to boot.
You should also make a habit of cleaning your hard disk to remove temporary files, emptying the Recycle Bin, and getting rid of system files you don't need any more:

1. Click the Start button , and type Disk Cleanup in the search window. Select it from the list of results.

2. After the utility runs, you'll see how much disk space you can free up.

3. Click OK, and then click Delete Files.

PC Common Problems


Locating the problem


Is your PC showing an error message? If so, write down the exact number and wording of the error message, and search for it on the Microsoft Fix it Solution Center. In many cases, the Fix it center provides a "hot fix," which is an automated solution you can run on your PC with just one click!

Even if you don’t see an error message, you may be able to find the solution in the Fix it center, either by topic or by searching. Ask yourself if the problem is related to hardware, software, or the operating system (such as Windows 7, Windows XP, or Windows Vista). The following are some common indicators that can help you decide which is the right answer.

If you're uncertain, don't worry. Just start at the top by determining if your software is working, using the Software errors section that follows. If the issue persists, proceed to the Hardware trouble section and then to the System failure section.

You can also find really helpful information at Microsoft Answers, a forum where you can search, browse, and post questions and answers. Community members – including Microsoft employees – answer the questions posted there. If you'd like to search by individual program, try the Product Solution Center.

The lists on the right side of this page may also help you narrow down the type of trouble you are experiencing.

Software errors

If programs refuse to install, won't appear on your desktop, can't seem to run without freezing, don't load at a decent speed or function properly, or Internet access is unavailable, here's how to troubleshoot:

General issues




Confirm that your PC meets the software's minimum system requirements. If it doesn't, you'll be unable to run the program without upgrading your computer's hardware. Note that PCs which barely meet or just slightly exceed these minimums may run the software more slowly and can be less reliable. Windows 7 and Windows Vista users can reference the Windows Experience Index to quickly gauge their PC's general capabilities.



Check for compatibility with Windows 7 and Windows Vista.



Close open programs and windows that you're not currently using. These can eat up system memory and processing power, slowing your PC or preventing additional software from running. Try running the program again.

Check available hard drive space. Roughly 5 to 10 percent of your hard drive's total storage allotment should be left free to ensure optimum system performance in Windows 7 and Windows Vista, prevent crashes, and keep Windows running at top speed.

* Your system won't boot.
* No operating system is detected.
* The computer hangs during startup.
* Your PC is making strange noises.

msiexec.exe. What is it?

msiexec.exe. What is it?



diggMsiexec.exe is Windows® Installer.

This file is part of Windows Installer - Unicode. Msiexec.exe is developed by Microsoft Corporation. It is used to install new programs that use Windows Installer package files (MSI). It should only be running if you are running an installer. Msiexec is important for computer security and stability and should not be terminated. It’s a system and hidden file.


Msiexec.exe is usually located in the %PROGRAM_FILES% sub-folder and its usual size is 77,824 bytes.

If you are not installing anything, but msiexec is running, chances are it's a virus. Scan your computer with Malwarebytes  to make sure it's not infected.



The msiexec.exe process may also be running all the time if the Windows Installer service is set to Automatic by mistake. You'll need to change the service startup type to manual. We recommend doing that using
