Get $1 billion for playing a online game

June 11, 2013 by admin Leave a Comment

This is what the website says

Take Part in the $1 Billion Game for Good

If you won $1 billion, how much would you give to charity?Play your part in creating the world’s largest prize and charitable event.

jaro game win 1 billion australia

Ten leading charities including WSPA Australia ( the reason why i am promoting this game) have signed up to be beneficiaries of the game. Other charities include: Age UK, Amnesty UK, British Red Cross, Cool Earth, Guide Dogs UK, Merlin, World Cancer Research Fund, World Heart Foundation and WWF UK.Funds raised for WSPA Australia will support our overall vision for animal welfare.

Jaro aims to be the single largest fundraising initiative in the world and potentially the provider of the biggest single prize pot of money ever!

Rules of Jaro

In Jaro, the goal is to guess the location of your opponent’s numbers (1 to 9 inclusive). The player who guesses most accurately, wins the game and progresses into the next round. The last player left standing wins the Jaro tournament and the prize pool can win upto 1 billion. There are no cash prizes for second place.


Entry

Tickets cost US$10 plus a 5% service fee plus any payment processing fees. Payment processing fees will vary depending on payment method and card provider.

 

Prize pool and charity contribution split

Firstly, each player chooses how much of their ticket purchase should be donated to charity and how much should be contributed to the prize pool.This is what we refer to as the ‘split’. For example if a player purchases one US$10 ticket and he or she chooses to split 50% of the purchase with their charitable causes—US$5 goes to the prize pool and US$5 is donated to charity.

Email Virus going around

May 16, 2013 by admin Leave a Comment

Not to sure  about how this is being spread  , but  the way its been spreading  it definitely looks like a “email virus” . First my sis   started spamming me ..  unintentionally offcourse because somebody else was doing  it from her email account.

Email virus spreading

I contacted her immediately to know that she had not sent me that email , soon enough  my other sister would  got infected  and she too started sending me spam emails .

virus_email

Now the only way  i see it is , she possibly  got infected from the previous email sent  from my other sis hacked account , because that email went to everyone on her list. Now possibly  people clicked on that link in that email  and  got the virus  and  then  the virus continued to attack that person email list  and email everybody else from  this new list.

How to avoid this  email virus ??

Email virus that sends out emails with links

Questions i got asked from  friends !!

1.I was infected by some kind of virus which started sending out emails like crazy.What puzzles me is why I don’t see any sent messages in my MS Outlook ( this could be hotmail or yahoo mail as well)? How is the virus sending email and not using the email program? And is there a way to block the computer from sending email…at least long enough to search for the right tools to fix such a problem?

2. My yahoo email is sending out links that i didnt send (virus?)

Answer: It is not uncommon for these sophisticated virus’ to include their own smtp email program or just login to send messages from your account without any traces. Other reason could be Your pc could very well be seriously infected and even owned by some bot-net.

The three things you need to do

  • First is how to stop the outgoing traffic
  • Second is how to clean up your system.
  • U need to learn how to keep it from happening again

Do this by : Clean your pc with a antivirus , change your password and keep a anitvirus that also scans emails and keeps your browser safe always active on your pc

iF you want to be even more secure or take more precatutions

Immediately change your email password, security questions, and if you have a secondary email account associated with it change that as well.
There are a number of reasons that can explain how your account got hacked:

  1. Your password was easily guessable
  2. You entered your credentials into a phishing site
  3. The website where you had your account had a security breach
  4. Your hacked account used the same password as a different, breached site
  5. There is spyware on your computer

You can tell if your account has been hacked if:

  1. The recipients of the spam-email includes a bunch of people you know
  2. You try to access your account and the password no longer works
  3. You try to access the “Forgot Password” link and it does not go to the expected email
  4. Your Sent Items folder contains a bunch of spammy emails you’re not aware of sending

 

Someone’s sending emails from my email address! How do I stop them

Don’t click e-mails with suspicious links even if it came from someone you know.( if in doubt email them via another  sms, email or Facebook etc and confirm if they sent that email before clicking the link)

Update the to and from field in your email if  the email is sent to many people , proceed with caution.

Update your browsers

Update your   Anti virus ( if you don’t  have one get the free  AVG antivirus Or Avira free one

Run a a whole pc  antivirus scan if you have a antivirus

Review of Anti-Virus for PC – Norton 360 Multi-Device

February 28, 2013 by admin 3 Comments

Norton antivirus , AVG Antivirus , McAfee antivirus, Kaspersky, there are numerous software’s available to defend  your computer against the internet baddies and choosing the right one makes you spoilt for choice. There  has been numerous big corporate tech companies  that have been  at the receiving end of hackers recently. Google , yahoo and many big companies  have been in the news  for systems being compromised.  But its not only the big companies that can get attacked by hackers and viruses but also the home user who is at risk nowadays.

Security threats  an viruses are just around the corner on the Internet these days and protecting your computer against them is compulsory because as long as you surf the internet  your pc can be vulnerable to  attack and viruses. Whenever you go online , visit a website ,download a file, click a link,  your PC is in danger of getting infected by various types of malware and viruses. A secure software is required to defend your pc or computer  against worms, Trojans and hackers.

I have used Norton internet security before  and i used avg  antivirus before i  again switched to  the NEW Norton 360 Multi Device. I received a copy  to review  and i was hooked once again  to my favourite antivirus , just because they have tweaked the anti-virus  quite a bit  to use the least power available from your pc to run the software and also making the running of the antivirus very smooth and unobtrusive to normal internet surfing.

norton 360 multi device antivirus australia price

Download link : http://au.norton.com/downloads/

Norton 360 Multi-Device

The first thing that immediately got my attention when i got  the software was that the Norton 360 multi device not only offers protection for your desktop computer , but also can be used to protect your ipad or iphone  or android device and that’s surely a bonus. With fast internet on smartphones and tablets now available  you need to secure all these devices with a antivirus software solution, as they all store personal information and passwords  that can easily get stolen.

Norton 360 Multi-Device combines powerful PC, Mac®, and mobile device protection into a single, software packaged solution, so you can safely surf, shop, share, and socialise online, no matter which device you use. It protects against viruses, unsafe websites, and other threats.This software can also be used to create backups for your most important files and folders, to the location you specify

Screen shot of the  software and protection it offers

Key features that i like in this software package is

  • It lets you remotely lock and locate a lost or stolen mobile device and even erase the Stuff on it to ensure your private information stays that way
  • It backs up files stored on your PC
  • Defends your PC from threats and harmful websites and scans your email for threats
  • Browse, shop, bank, and socialize online with 24/7 security
  • One locations  to easily manage protection for all of your devices.

 

If you wondered how all this is done , its all in the cloud nowadays and the Cloud-based management brings it all together, letting you easily control your protection for your various devices from one convenient place on the Web.

This software package includes an antivirus tool, firewall, anti-malware, a backup system and a PC tune up utility, all the necessary elements needed to protect you against any threat. To keep your pc running  smoothly you often need to tune it up  and with this software package you don’t need to get another separate tuning  software to tune up your pc , Norton 360 has a tune Up section module  which provides a set of utilities for disk optimization, temporary file clean-up, diagnostic report, or start-up manager. These are meant to optimize your system, resulting in improved execution speeds and overall improved performance.

Here are some requirements for this software

· 300-MHz or faster processor
· 256 MB of RAM
· 300 MB of available hard disk space
· CD-ROM or DVD drive (if not installing via electronic download)

Try it  and you will not  go back , it retails for  anywhere between AUD $129.95 (1 year protection for up to 5 devices)
