Thrilling blog post title, isn’t it?
Here’s what I’m talking about on my other blogs today:
On The Business Protector, I’ve started a series on hacked WordPress blogs. I keep hearing more and more horror stories about this and hope to raise some awareness.
On Business Action Steps, you’ll find a post about how keeping my [...]

A Line In The Electrons

I’ve drawn a line in the electrons. Surprisingly, it looks more like a hyperlink than a line.
And be sure to check out the only current entry in my blogroll (under “Internet Business”).
What’s this all about?
1. First, read this post.
2. Second, the Robert Phillips I met and know is not the Robert Phillips described in that [...]

The Next Day: Setting Realistic Expectations For This Blog

The mini blog-a-thon was quite fun and I’m glad that I did it. Even though the official blog-a-thon is over, please go down a few posts, click on the graphic, and consider making a donation to Dr. Mani’s worthy cause.
While it’s not any kind of “fallout” from the mini blog-a-thon, as I reflected on yesterday’s [...]

The Best Source To Kickstart Your Computer Security Posture

One final closing post for my blog-a-thon before it hits midnight here in Central Germany…
If you are looking for a comprehensive, step-by-step plan to improve your computer security, I recommend "The Hacker’s Nightmare" by Bill Hely. Bill is an accomplished computer consultant in Australia. I love his book (it’s the book I would have written [...]

John Taylor

I just came across this blog post by John Taylor, who is also promoting Dr. Mani’s blog-a-thon. John is also a member over at the Internet Marketing Warrior’s Forum and has shared some recent health and heart issues that he has faced. Thankfully he came through them all OK and is using his experience and [...]

24 Hour Open Comments For Security Questions

We’ve reached the end of my mini blog-a-thon, and as promised (to some, at least), I’m going to make an offer you may not get every day.
For at least the next 24 hours, you can ask any general security-related question you want and I will do my best to answer it. You may leave your [...]

Defense In Depth: Spam

What is spam? Spam is nothing more than unwanted email that you did not request.
As an online marketer, I’d like to make one distinction very clear: if you requested the email, it is not spam, even if you later decide that you do not want it. Let’s take, for example, this website. You can sign [...]

Defense In Depth: Spyware

Spyware is simply programs that are installed on your computer without your knowledge or consent. These rogue applications can do anything from display unwanted ads on your computer to downloading additional “junk” to actually recording everything done on your computer for later collection and analysis.
You definitely want to do something about spyware.
There are two things [...]

Defense In Depth: Firewalls, Part 2

Real quick: The reason that you can’t rely on the Windows XP / Vista firewall is that it only inspects and blocks / allows traffic as it comes in to your computer. Your firewall software needs to inspect traffic both ways — when it enters your computer as well as when it leaves.
Let’s move on [...]

The Anti-Hype Anti-Virus Software Report, Part 4 (And Final!)

This post will be short and sweet, so to speak…
This post on Sunbelt Software’s blog talks about the test that I’ve been referring to in the past few blog posts. While their blog is a great resource, it *can* get a bit more technical than the average user needs at times, but since I relied [...]
