  4. If there are no lights on the PC that are "On" and you have shut down the PC, you can unplug it. Store it in a place where there are no excessive temperature swings and where the temperature and humidity are kept relatively the same over the time it takes to replace the spindle hard disk with a Solid State disk.

  6. @sophie707 For an anti malware company to know about malware means they will detect it. Think about it! Also, don't get caught up on individual "well publicized" malware. One must think about computer security and malware protection in an overarching holistic view. If you have situational awareness, understand the threat landscape, take precaution, install anti malware, and take other active measures the you don't have to think about individual "well publicized" malware. You are protecting yourself from ALL malware. Remember that the weakest link in the malware protection chain is the Human. All the software in the world won't protect oneself if they don't practice Safe Hex or easily fall prey to Social Engineering ploys and tactics.
  7. @Vladimireth This is purely a scam and they send those emails out en masse hoping one or two bite at the bait. Just delete the email and then change your email password to a new Strong Password just to make sure. Additionally, you can enter your email address(es) in the following site and it will check to see if that email address was part of a known breach. This is how the passwords are most often obtained and used in this ploy. https://haveibeenpwned.com/ Please reference: ----------------- US FBI PSA - Extortionists Increasingly Using Recipients' Personal Information To Intimidate Victims US FTC Consumer Information - How to avoid a Bitcoin blackmail scam Bitcoin - Bitcoin Abuse Database BleepingComputer - Beware of Extortion Scams Stating They Have Video of You on Adult Sites Malwarebytes' Blog - Sextortion emails: They’re probably not watching you Malwarebytes' Blog - Warning: Victims' faces placed on explicit images in sextortion scam Malwarebytes Forum sample thread - Got strange threating email.

  8. @nukecad we think alike in energy saving methods. Don't forget incandescent bulbs. I've replaced all but the oven bulb (interior temperature gets too for for them) including the Microwave and Refrigerator. Look at the Watts per Lumen ratio and the colour temperature expressed in degrees kelvin. For the bathroom I prefer 5000 Deg K but for regular lighting 2500~3500 Deg K bulbs which has a colour temperature closer to that of familiar incandescent filaments. For example I had a foyer chandelier that used 4 x 25W candelabra based incandescent bulbs for a total of 100W. I replaced them with 0.5W candelabra based LEDs for a total of 2W. A kitchen chandelier uses 3 x 40W candelabra based incandescent bulbs for a total of 120W. I replaced them with 3.5W candelabra based LEDs for a total of 10.5W. The upfront cost of LEDs is more but you consume less power and the upside is that LEDs generate less heat. Incandescent bulbs are wasteful in the fact that most of their wattage consumption is wasted in heat generation. So that 3.5W LED (instead of 40W) will also not create heat inside the Fridge as well as all the other bulbs that don't generate a lot of heat that has to be then compensated by air conditioning in the summer months. I use cold water for most laundry cycles. Unfortunately, I prefer my water heater to actually put out Hot Water so it is set to ~130 Deg F so insulating around the water heater helps to hold the heat in the tank. Many talk about instant, tankless, hot water heaters. However you MUST filter and prepare the water before it reaches the instant hot water heater. If not calcium and other mineralization will clog it up and it will soon become a problematic unit.
  9. I just extracted (and redacted) the below from a legal filing from 2006 of a statement from what looks like 2000. Lending to the number's long existence and credulity.
  10. Thank You. I do not know here one reports a possible False Positive on a Phone Number. But I am not sure it is a False Positive and there are issues with the number and how it is used such as Debt Collection. However it has been associated with Citi Bank for a number of years. https://800notes.com/Phone.aspx/1-800-444-1676 I will move this thread to Malwarebytes for Android Support Forum ** As you can see one can post a JPEG and not need to place it in a PDF and attach it.
  11. Talk about - "what are the odds!" I was supporting one of my personnel as he was on the phone with an internal corporate portal Agent. He had to validate who he was to have his portal account reset. I was really surprised - Why was he giving the Agent MY BIRTH DATE ? Turns out he was born in a Hospital 7 miles away from the Hospital I was born at within an aprox. 11 hours time frame !
