Sharing and sending large files over the internet is typically a pain in the neck. Largely due to the fact that most file storage limits are 50Mb to 100Mb, or 200Mb for paid services such as rapidshare.

A new service from WeTransfer is a user friendly and free file transfer service that allows up to 2Gb to be shared, with up to 20 people, for up to 2 weeks. Beat that!

Common file sharing services typically are difficult to navigate, they almost always have annoying end user download wait time. WeTransfer has none of this nonsense. You can select as many files as you want to send at one time (under 2GB) and you can send an email notice up to 20 recipients with a note attached. Best yet, your files are held for 14 days before deletion



WeTransfer makes waiting less boring by rotating the background wallpaper of the site while you are uploading.It boasts a nice friendly to use - and look at - interface, 14 day file retention, 20 users per email notification, and up to 2Gb storage. Impressive!

How To remove Copyright Violation Notice

How To Remove Copyright Violation Notice

There is a common misconception in this malware\rogueware\scareware program.
Most tutorials on the internet are calling this program by the name IQmanager, and although this may be true in many cases, it also goes by the name "ApManager" and displays an icon on your desktop.

The malware\rogueware\scareware 'Copyright Violation Notice' is a particularly difficult annoyance to remove because it renders your task manager, and start menu inoperable. This you cannot end the process, or even access your start menu to find out the process name.

Fortunately, I have devised an alternate removal method.

Before you start, you will need these tools:
1) Sysinternals suite from Microsoft Here
(You can also run sysinternals directly from the web)
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/default.aspx

2) Download Malware Bytes Anti malware demo, or purchase from the link


Once you have downloaded these programs, the next step is to gain access to your computer to run these programs.

That is simple:
1) Disconnect from the internet
2) Follow the link on the bottom left corner (icpp-online) its a fake website and a fake company, however, you simply need to have your web browser open. It will timeout and not be able to load a web page. That is what we want.

Now, navigate to the address bar and enter your c:\ drive.
 Browse your hard drive until you find the downloaded process explorer Suite. Unzip it and run procexp.exe. navigate through the running processes and kill the process called apmanager.

This will close the Copyright Violation Alert, then you can run anti malware bytes to scan and clean your system. you must immediately reboot when prompted though, otherwise, you risk running apmanager again and reinfecting your system. Some scareware programs will relaunch when triggered by another program, or after a set interval. Once you reboot, you will remove these possibilities as well.

With a simple click, you are invoking the program. By closing the program - you are actually installing it and invoking it.

Protecting Yourself From The Installation is as simple as closing the application, however you cannot close it by clicking the X in the top right corner.


If you see anything like the image box (above):

Immediately press ALT + F4 (hold down ALT, then press F4)
This will close the application without invoking it.

Do Not Click ANYTHING or anywhere in the popup box.
(not even the X to close it)
The entire box itself is simply the method to install the program.
Although it appears to be a fully functional application, it is in fact waiting for you to click it.

The best method to uninstalling these is to purchase malwareBytes Antimalware Pro

Securing Your Paypal Account

PayPal has more than 8 million users in Canada accounting for more than $2 billio in paypal transactions.
If you are a regular PayPal user but are concerned about the integrity of your account, you may want to consider an extra layer of protection by using something called the PayPal security key.

The PayPal Security Key (as seen above) creates random temporary security code that help safeguard your PayPal account when you log in.
The security key token, which costs $5, is an electronic device or “token” designed that is carried on a key ring which creates a new security code for the user every 30 seconds. PayPal users with the security token must enter the temporary code along with their standard username and password in order to sign into their Paypal account.

Security Key Ordering and Set Up

Setup of the Paypal Security key is very simple. To order or setup your security key, users just log on to their PayPal account. Once logged in just click on “Edit Profile” to get to the “Account Information” screen. From their click on “Get the PayPal Security Key”.

Once you have your key, revisit the same screen but this time click on “Activate your PayPal or VIP (Verisign Identity Protection) token” to get to the following screen.
Follow the three steps shown below and click on activate. Once you’ve activated your security key, log out of Paypal.

The next time you log in to PayPal, you’ll need to enter your user name, password, and the security code generated by by pressing the button on your token.
This type of additional security is known as two-factor authentication and is used by leading financial institutions as an additional means to protect consumers and reduce losses from online fraud such as phishing attacks.
For $5, the Security key is the recommended way to give your PayPal account an extra level of security.
If you decide that you don’t want this extra level of security, you can de-activate it by logging onto your PayPal account with your security key. Once logged on, simply click on “Deactivate” which can be found on the Profile tab of your PayPal Security Key page.
