Good morning! Hump Day Yay!
Angel:
Wow, but I have to say i am not that curious
Jarhead:

Angel:
A military saying Carl?
ProducerBadBob:
The drives are often labeled "Bank" or "Photos" or "Resume"
ProducerBadBob:
Pretty insidious...all about Social Engineering...
Angel:
You know a kid would look at it, not sure adults would so your computers are at risk with who ever might use them
ProducerBadBob:
Talk about creative...there's even cases where a e-cigarette, which can be "conveniently charged in any USB Port" and those power supplies you buy in the mall kiosks are implanted with spyware from China. Several Documented cases
Angel:
Holy cow, I am going to suspect all of it now
Angel:
Let me know what you think, The interior department is opening an investigation on funding irregularities involving the proposed delta tunnels
Angel:
This is not surprising to me, the worst part is that you almost expect it.
Angel:
Gov Brown will do anything to get the tunnel built

Good morning Sun
Sungold:
Hello all.
ProducerBadBob:
Hello Sunny
Sungold:
So what is the purpose of spyware implanted in an ecig? What might they be looking for?
Angel:
I think all your data
Sungold:
On an E- cig?
Angel:
You plug in the thumb drive to charge it and it infects your computer
ProducerBadBob:
The idea is that someone will simply plug it into their laptop port
ProducerBadBob:
rather than a wall supply.
Sungold:
I'd like to know how to get rid of Ask.com. Our son has removed it for me once and it is back now. Wants to take over Google
ProducerBadBob:
hold on.
Sungold:
Oh good grief...I am so out of the loop on that stuff!
ProducerBadBob:
Launch Google Chrome and click the icon located on the right top corner. Select the option Settings from the sub menu. Click on Extensions from the left pane of the Windows, which is located just above the option Settings. You may Disable the toolbar by removing the check mark from the option Enable
Angel:
I don't typically charge anything on my computer

ProducerBadBob:
article on how to remove it for good
Sungold:
Thanks BB copy and pasted Word - have it printed. Will check out the article
Sungold:
I don't either Ruth.
Angel:
Thank you BadBob, that was sweet
Angel:
I don't drink soda's or soft drinks but it looks like the Bloom from Santa Monica pulled his bill to add a tax on soft drinks.
Sungold:
I think I got rid of it. It must have come in with some sort of download I did. Most recent was Grammerly
ProducerBadBob:
Often when you get a new add-on, watch carefully for a very tiny checkbox that says something like "Make ask.com my default browser" tucked away in a corner. Companies pay fees to have their crapware inserted as a "convenience to consumers"
Sungold:
It is a constant battle these days to protect oneself.
Sungold:
Thanks for the info, Ask.com has been a thorn in my side.
Angel:
No kidding, you not only worry about what you do but others in the house. No one touches my computers though.
Sungold:
Got to run, early app't. Have a great day all
Angel:
Me too, have a great day, Sun is out calling!
Sungold:
Mine either, I cause enough issues!
Angel:
Very true
Angel:
Thanks Bad Bob!
Angel:
We will be back for another lesson tomorrow!

ProducerBadBob:
The sun comes up in the East. The tide changes ever 12 hours. The Moon goes through phases. Terry calls and the The Answer To Life, The Universe And Everything is not 42,,,,it's actually 51...
ProducerBadBob:

I'd like to thank the Chief for the neighborhood patrol program. I have noticed a difference in the Starview District and feel safer going for walks with my young children.
