I have noticed that quite a few people in the Marketing Department of a company I visit has Super Talent DG 16GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive for times when an attachment is too large to be transmitted via email to a user. Unfortunately, these drives seem to be breaking very easily so if you are planning on getting one or is already in possession, here are some things to keep in mind.
Removing from Your Device
Before ejecting the Super Talent DG 16GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive from your device, be sure to use the eject feature as this will ensure that no reading or writing tasks are being performed as those that contacted me for data recovery services were pulling it out as they were in a rush.

They however, do know your email if you got one of the following. It happens by registering for service, having it on posted on your website or in your whois listing.
I know JohnDoe one of your pass word. Lets get right to purpose. You don’t know me and you’re most likely wondering why you’re getting this e-mail? Not one person has compensated me to investigate you.
In fact, I setup a malware on the 18+ videos (pornography) web site and guess what, you visited this site to experience fun (you know what I mean). While you were watching videos, your internet browser started out operating as a Remote Desktop with a keylogger which provided me access to your display and web camera. after that, my software program collected every one of your contacts from your Messenger, FB, as well as emailaccount. After that I made a double-screen video. First part displays the video you were watching (you have a nice taste lol), and 2nd part shows the recording of your web cam, & its u.
You got two different options. We are going to go through these solutions in aspects:
Very first solution is to neglect this email. As a result, I will send out your very own videotape to all your your contacts and then consider regarding the disgrace you will get. And likewise if you happen to be in a relationship, just how it will eventually affect?
Other option is to give me $7000. Lets describe it as a donation. In such a case, I will instantaneously erase your video recording. You can go on your way of life like this never occurred and you never will hear back again from me.
You’ll make the payment by Bitcoin (if you do not know this, search for “how to buy bitcoin” in Google search engine).
BTC Address: [redacted]
[CASE sensitive copy and paste it]
In case you are curious about going to the authorities, good, this email message cannot be traced back to me. I have dealt with my moves. I am just not trying to charge a fee a whole lot, I prefer to be compensated. I’ve a specific pixel in this message, and right now I know that you have read this email message. You have one day in order to make the payment. If I do not receive the BitCoins, I will certainly send out your video recording to all of your contacts including members of your family, coworkers, and so forth. Nonetheless, if I do get paid, I’ll erase the video immediately. If you need evidence, reply with Yes! and I definitely will send your video to your 15 contacts. It is a non-negotiable offer, thus please don’t waste my personal time and yours by responding to this email message.
I am well aware JohnDoe2018 is your passphrase. Lets get directly to the point. You do not know me and you’re most likely wondering why you are getting this email? Not one person has compensated me to investigate you. actually, I placed a malware on the 18+ streaming (porn material) website and guess what, you visited this website to have fun (you know what I mean).When you were watching video clips, your web browser initiated functioning as a Remote Desktop that has a key logger which provided me with access to your display screen as well as webcam. Right after that, my software program gathered every one of your contacts from your Messenger, Facebook, and e-mail . Next I created a video. 1st part displays the video you were watching (you’ve got a fine taste hahah), and 2nd part shows the recording of your cam, and its u.

Let me make one thing clear, that I will ruin your life fully if I do not get the payment. When I do get the payment, I will erase every last information I have with me, and I will go away for good and you’ll don’t ever hear a thing from me. It is the first and final email from me as well as the offer can not be negotiated, therefore do not answer to this mail.
Are you thinking about acquiring the HP Deskjet 895Cse or is a current user? Here are some things I have come to learn during my support of the devices.
Ink Cartridges
The HP Deskjet 895Cse requires two ink cartridge to perform. If one or both is not installed, the ink alert LED will blink on the printer to let you know. On the left of the DeskJet printer is the tri-color cartridge (which holds Cyan, Magenta and Yellow) and on the right is black. when placing the cartridges, please remember that the gold contacts needs to be facing away from you or it will not fit. Loading inks is as easy as making sure it has power, pressing the power button and lifting the cover.
Quality
In the Devices and Printers section, I found Draft, Normal and Best print options. Lower quality means faster printing while Higher requires time and ink so set accordingly.
If Outlook prompts for a password, there are a few reason that it could happen and you may be able to resolve it yourself without putting in a call (since you can’t email) to your IT Department.
Password is Expired
A common reason that outlook will prompt for a password is that your network account is expired. Try accessing email from the once of your free internet browser and seek a detailed error message upon login. If it is expired, it will alert you to change it and list any stored emails. You can then return to Microsoft Outlook and have it open without it requesting a password. Keep in mind you may need to log off your network account or lock the screen then use the new password so that you can access a shared folder on your network.
eBay supports tax policy that is fair to entrepreneurs, artisans, and small businesses, which are vital to the American economy, and they oppose efforts to impose taxes that would harm these businesses. Millions of people across the country sell on the eBay marketplace, and there has never been a more critical time to stand against new and unfair Internet taxes.
The U.S. Supreme Court will make a decision in the coming weeks that could give states the right to tax every small business on the Internet.
The issue is just as urgent on Capitol Hill, as states, shopping centers, and large retailers lobby hard to increase taxes on small businesses and their online customers. When the Supreme Court makes its decision, it will bring together the various threads on the issue of Internet sales tax.
Our leaders in Washington, D.C., and in state capitals across America need to know how you feel about these new and harmful Internet tax burdens. Please digitally sign this petition to show political leaders that you stand with us against these new taxes. It should take less than three minutes. eBay will deliver your signatures to President Trump, key members of Congress, and select state governors.
Rest assured that eBay will continue to fight this battle on behalf of all of our valued customers. Thank you for taking a stand for millions of small businesses across America.
Are you are seeing a message about Qt5Widgets.dll is missing on your Windows PC? If so, try and remove and reinstall Malwarebytes Premium Trial if you or your IT Department was installing that software recently especially if you received a prompt by Malwarebytes itself to restart the computer.
So why did you get the prompt? Well, it most likely got hanged at some point during the install. Fortunately, Malwarebytes prompts to reinstall and since the issue is new, I knew the root cause and fixed it with a reinstallation. If you are in the IT Department, you may want to skip Malwarebytes Premium Trial since it has a reminder notification to upgrade after 14 days passes and will cause the end user to call your department unnecessarily for popups so substitute with the Barracuda Malware Removal Tool instead.
If you own or use a local or network printer, eventually, you will receive a message that the printer is out of paper and you will need to do one or more of the following to fix the problem.
Check the LCD Panel
Most users will want to check the trays to see if it ran out of paper but this is unnecessary as the LCD will tell you which tray it is looking for paper. Often, print jobs will try to go to the manual feed or Tray 1 area due to the page settings so being at the printer’s display screen will let you know if you have to bypass Tray 1 or add paper to Tray 2.
Empty Tray
Sometimes Tray 2 is full or Letter Size and Tray 3 is empty of Letter Size. This isn’t supposed to be a problem as the printer should start taking paper from Tray 2 but some printers will refuse to do so unless you walk over to printer and tel it that is your wish. Some users find this helpful if Tray 2 has Letterhead Paper while Tray 3 has Plain Paper.

If you are receiving an Insufficient Memory error when printing fillable PDF forms, I have a solution that should help. The affected computer will need access to the Internet so that you can download a software program which is a PDF converter.
Error Message
This job requires more memory than is available in this printer. Try one or more of the following and then print again:
For the output format choose Optimize for portability.
Reduce the number of fonts in this document.
Print the document in parts.
Solution
1. Download and install free version of CutePDF Writer.
1a. Some antivirus software sees the installer as PUPs due to bundled apps.
1b. Install the software using the custom feature to avoid bundled apps.
2. Print the troubled document and choose CutePDF as your printer
3. Follow the prompts by CutePDF Writer software.
4. Locate the converted file you just saved and then print it.
5. You should no longer get a blank page plus message.
Why CutePDF
The CutePDF software (Adobe PDF if you have the paid Acrobat Pro version) reduces the number of fonts as you saw stated in the error message making it uneditable and easier to print.
While streaming a K-Drama, I ran across an ad from Sharp District. The ad 0:47 YouTube video) ran for under a minute and offered viewers to obtain a Free iPhone USB Lightening Cable by visiting their website at www.sharpdistrict.com. I ignored it the first time but since I was watching on an iPad instead of my Windows PC, the ad came back a few times as the series continued so I eventually checked it out.
Here is what I did not know know at the time and later discovered.
Domain
The domain was only a few weeks old. If I knew that in advance, I would not have gone for the offer. A young domain does not mean a scam as it could have been registered recently for the promotion to see where customers are finding the product offer so that can target it more in the future.
Shipping
The iPhone USB Lightening Cable is free but you still have to pay for shipping and it’s close to US$10.00. At a few ounces, that is very pricey considering the cost of the shipping envelope and shipping via USPS. The website (which has no contact information) did mention that if there is a problem, the shipping fee would be refunded so I made sure to get a print a hard copy and PDF versions for my records while ordering.
Alerts
I received email alerts showing my order was placed, shipped, tracking info and that my order was delivered. This was the only way to get the contact email info for Customer Service which when contacted has gone answered.
Packaging
The way the cable was wrapped, it could get damaged and it appeared to have done so as it shows “Not Charging” when connected to my iOS device. The cable was folded in half (which crimped that area) then wrapped in a circle and fastened with those metal twist tie fasteners you see on loaves of bread.
Customer Service
Can you reach Customer Service? It does not appear so. There isn’t a phone number listed and the only email is through Gmail which as gone unanswered. Looking up the address on the shipping label shows that it is a residence (which was recently bought/sold before the domain registration) and not a factory or warehouse.

I thought that it would be difficult but it is very easy to create an EFI Partition on a USB Flash drive using a Windows PC for a Hackintosh. These are the steps that I found worked without searching for additional software.
Instructions
01. Plug in the USB Flash Drive under 8GB into an available USB Port on the Windows PC.
02. Press and hold the Windows Key + R to launch the Run window.
03. Type in CMD and press the ENTER key to launch the Command Prompt.
04. Type DISKPART and press the ENTER key to launch the interface.
05. Type LIST DISK and ignore DISK 0 as this is usually the hard drive where your Windows OS booted.
06. Type SELECT DISK 1 (sub 1 for your actual USB) press ENTER.
07. Type clean and press ENTER. (You may receive an error)
08. Type clean and press ENTER. (You should be successful)
09. Type create partition EFI size=200 and press ENTER.
10. Type format quick and press ENTER.
11. Type assign and press ENTER.
12. Type Active and press ENTER. Ignore any error message
13. Type exit and press ENTER and close the CMD window.

I had the opportunity to get my hands on a Dell Latitude E6410. The seller mentioned that they could look at the BIOS and see POST or and get to the Command Prompt on a bootable CD but the Graphical User Interface (GUI) for Windows would not show up.
Pre Inspection
I thought this would be a corrupted video driver which I could attempt to repair or replace and at the most, reinstall Windows 7, 8 or 10 but I would come to learn that this was not so and was a hardware problem that would require the motherboard to be replaced.
Post Inspection
I’m not sure what happened but the USB port on the right was damaged and one (1) of the four (4) pins was touching metal so when the POST completed and it was time for the OS to take over, it crashed when support for the USB was granted. Thankfully, this could be bypassed with an option disabled in the BIOS.
Temporary Fix
To save replacing the motherboard, I disabled the USB port in the BIOS. This allowed the me to install Windows 7 and upgrade to Windows 10.
Permanent Fix
A few weeks later when I had some time, I opened the unit and straighten the pins and was able to enable the USB ports settings in thee BIOS.
Bonus
With the E6410 working perfectly, I can now run make it into a Hackintosh to run Windows, macOS and Ubuntu.
If you find that you can’t Play YouTube Videos on a Windows PC after doing so the previous day, I may have a simple fix for you.
No Playback
The first troubleshooting tip is to trying to do a sound test from the Windows Taskbar. While doing the sound test, if you receive a message informing you that your device is already using the audio, please save all your open documents and restart the computer. When you attempt to replay the video again on YouTube, it should work now. If not, you have also confirmed that your sound drivers needs to be reinstalled.
Green Playback
If the video playback is green and sound can be heard, follow the tips based on the browser being used at the time.
Website Message
Keep in mind that to interact with YouTube.com, you will need one of the supported browsers for YouTube to avoid error messages. If you have it, update it or download a competitive version.
It took a few months but I finally ran into the Trojan.Emotet malware on a client’s computer. They were happy that I discovered it as they had McAfee Antivirus installed on the computer and it failed to catch it and is now wondering if it slipped in through email from Ernstacha Malivert (a most likely choice for Human Resources employee reviewing resumes) or their USB Flash Drive.
Detection of Trojan.Emotet
I was able to detect Trojan.Emotet thanks in part to the free version of Malwarebytes which I had just installed on the user’s Windows machine. I personally use Malwarebytes (including the paid version) as added protection for all my Hackintosh and HackBook systems.
Protection from Trojan.Emotet
If you are in Human Resources, have potential employees fill out an online form available on or through the company’s website rather than email in a file which could compromise the security and data on the PC and network. Another option is to have the resumes faxed in. We use the fax feature as the incoming fax is converted to PDF by our telecommunication systems.
Second, any device that is connected to a network or the Internet should be scanned at least once per week while the detection scanner updated daily.
A client believed that they had a virus on their computer so they asked me to check it out. After my test, I did not notice anything suspicious in the Control Panel area but after seeing that one of the free Internet browsers installed was Google Chrome, I grabbed my CD with Malwarebytes so that I could scan their drive and came to find that it had Trojan.Agent.Trace which had hijacked all their desktop shortcuts linking to Internet Explorer along with installing rogue Chrome Extensions.
I have found a great way to block YouTube Advertisement and I find that it work with all browsers and operating systems that is capable of viewing YouTube.
What You Will Need
– An Internet Browser with Tabs
– Knowledge of Bookmarks and Shortcuts
Preparation
Create a bookmark or desktop shortcut for Bing Search as Bing will be used later on as your YouTube player. It will be required for publishers with a channel over 10,000 views.
Removing The Ads
When you need to see a YouTube video, copy the URL of the YouTube video you want to see into the Bing Search box that you you have open in another tab. When it is found by Bing Search, select the ‘Click to view on Bing’ link. The YouTube video will start to play and without any pre-roll ads as Bing’s servers are filtering them out. While the video is playing, be sure to right click and disable annotations so that any popup banner ads will not show/float over the video. Ads or promotion that are recorded directly into the video (sponsors for the video) will always show and you will need to fast forward around these.
Supporting the Video Channel
If the video was useful to you, you can then open the video in a new tab so any ads will show. It will also give you the chance to comment on the video should comments not be disabled or download any attachments the publisher linked to in their description. Be aware that those links can be monetized as well with AdFly.
I was about to grab some lunch when a client called in frantically that they had a COM Surrogate warning message that popped up on their screen.
Since I setup their Windows 8.1 Professional machine for them years ago when the Operating System got released from Microsoft, I knew they should not have any codec problems as being mentioned on the Internet or viruses as well as I have also install the Barracuda Malware Tool on their system for added protection.
When I arrived at their location, I saw the COM Surrogate message that they mentioned (coming from Windows Photo Viewer) stating that COM Surrogate is not responding and if you close the program, you might lose information.
To make matters worse, the client could not get the COM Surrogate warning message off the screen because clicking the “Close the program” option or “X” on the windows did not work. After taking a screenshot to add to their support ticket, I was able to get rid of the warning by finally hitting the Esc key that is located on the top row of their keyboard.
A Q&A Chat with the client led me to find out that the client was trying to view and delete photos through the delete option in Windows Photo Viewer that was being stored on their USB Flash Drive and was also still compressed in the .zip file that was shared with them through a public folder on DropBox.
If you have a .zip file with photos as my client and need to remove some of the photos or files, you must first unzip the compressed file, delete the unneeded files and then compress it once again when you are done so that you can share the edited version. Failure to do this will let you get the same COM Surrogate error message as well.
Note: I have not tested this situation but if you receive the files on a CD, DVD that is not rewritable, please assume that you will have a similar issue unless you export the files to your computer for editing.
While installing a DYMO LabelManager PNP Label Maker for a client in their office, I noticed that .Net Framework 3.5 was required. I felt this was not a problem as I can enable .Net Framework 3.5 in the Control Panel of the Windows 8.1 Operating System or download it from Microsoft’s website.
Neither of the above worked until I remember that I am in an office environment and WSUS (Windows Server Update Services) might be a cause of the client and myself not being able to install the programming infrastructure to operate the labeler so I switched over to the local Administrator account on the computer, and proceeded to execute gpedit.msc from the Run window.
Are you seeing lines while printing and scanning on an HP All-In-One Printer? I have encountered this issue numerous times and I can use my experience to assist you.
TROUBLESHOOTING
One Sided Print
Open up a text editor (such as Microsoft Word) and then type the word FRONT and then print it to the affected printer. Does the print job come out with the lines still showing on the side where the text is written on the page? If so, you may have an issue with the ink system which needs further investigation.
Two Sided Print
For the two sided print, use your text editor (such as Microsoft Word) and add FRONT to page one and BACK to on the second page. When you print the document, remember to select double sided. If both sides comes out dirty or with lines, you have confirmed the ink is the culprit. For page one having lines and page two being clear, you just confirmed that the device needs to be calibrated and cleaned.
One Sided Scan/Copy
If you are doing a one sided scan using the ADF (Automatic Document Feeder) or the Flatbed and see lines in your preview or print out, you will need to make sure that the device is on and then pull the power cord out from the rear of the device for at least 15 seconds. When you reconnect the power, it will attempt to recalibrate itself so make sure the flatbed and ADF are empty before reconnecting.
Two Sided Scan/Copy
If you are doing a two sided scan using the ADF (Automatic Document Feeder) and see lines in your preview or print out on the FRONT page only, you will need to make sure that the device is on and then pull the power cord out from the rear of the device for at least 15 seconds. When you reconnect the power, it will attempt to recalibrate itself so make sure the flatbed and ADF are empty before reconnecting.
If you receive a Script Error message when surfing with Internet Explorer, try the following.
Clean Up
The first method that you should try is by clearing cache and cookie info from the machine to see if it resolves the issue.
Reset The Browser
Resetting the Internet Explorer browser is one way of solving the Script Error message. Do this only if other free Internet browsers that are installed on that machine is fine or if Internet Explorer is operating normally on other computers located on your network as this will prevent you from eliminating local browser settings when the issue is on the website itself.
If you have a corrupted Segoe UI Symbol font, it can cause an annoyance with the Windows Operating System. Why? Well, the font is used to display icons (such as a power button) on the login screen and without a stable font, you will see vertical rectangles in its place.
Repairing the Font
To repair the font, experts can navigate to the fonts folder in the Control Panel (Control Panel\Appearance and Personalization\Fonts) using a local or network account that is a member of the Administrator group and then paste over the corrupted seguisym.ttf font aka (Segoe UI Symbol Regular) with one that is not corrupted. Novices can double click on the replacement font then click the install button.
Operating System Version
Do not worry if you do not have the same Windows OS available. The troubled PC that I was fixing for a client was Windows 8.1 Professional and I was able to take the font from my Windows 10 Professional and copy it to their computer to fix the problem. All you need to make sure is that the replacement font is not corrupted. A restart of the troubled Windows PC is not required but you will need to sign out to see the changes on the login screen after you have uploaded the font. If you do not have access to another Windows PC, you could try to ask a friend, coworker or search the Internet but make sure it is from a source that you can trust.
Amazon will launch later this year a new feature called OneLink that enables publishers to monetize traffic on their site from United Kingdom (UK) and Canada (CA) via Amazon’s text links. OneLink will also give your visitors an improved shopping experience by creating a seamless redirect to their local Amazon storefront.
Are you wondering how Web Companion Pro got installed on your computer? Well, If you were to download FileZilla from filezilla-project.org, it will be bundled along with the install.
Ad-Aware Web Companion Pro detects and blocks harmful websites, defending you against malicious threats such as malware, phishing sites and browser hijacking.
This is the reason why I always encourage users to read before they click and also to use the custom options when installing all software programs.
A bundled program could be useful but it can also have a old program that is not patched against exploits and this can be harmful to your system and information.
Are you considering using Shell Fork Bomb Protection? You should as it is helpful for the sites on your server. To configure the status between enabled and disabled, you need to navigate to Home > Security Center > Shell Fork Bomb Protection in WHM.
Very experienced users who can try the Command Line access from cPanel. Keep in mind that you need to restart your cPanel services.
When To Enable Shell Fork Bomb Protection
To prevent users who have terminal access (SSH/Telnet) the ability to use all of the resources on the server, you should enable Shell Fork Bomb Protection. perl -I/usr/local/cpanel -MCpanel::LoginProfile -le 'print [Cpanel::LoginProfile::install_profile('limits')]->[1];' When To Disable Shell Fork Bomb Protection
If you have a WordPress or similar site, you should know that Shell Fork Bomb Protection can conflict with certain caching plugins (like W3 Total Cache) so if you have any caching plugins installed and running on your sites go ahead and disable the protection to prevent issues if the use of the plugin is crucial to the functionality of your site. perl -I/usr/local/cpanel -MCpanel::LoginProfile -le 'print [Cpanel::LoginProfile::remove_profile('limits')]->[1];'

Are you having problems with your HP OfficeJet Pro 8740 All-in-One Printer? Please see if any of these troubleshooting tips below will help in troubleshooting and repairing your device.
Power Button is Illuminated
If the power button is illuminated and pressing or holding it in does not power it off, you will need to disconnect the power cable that is located in the rear of the device (left looking from the front, right looking from the back) or from the wall outlet. Once the power cord is disconnected, keep it that way for at least thirty (30) seconds. If you have to do other tasks (such as answering the phones, door, etc.) use the gaffer tape that i mentioned above and secure it to the wall or surface that the device is laying on so that it will not fall down and into a crevice that will be difficult for you to get to. After thirty (30) seconds has elapsed, firmly reconnect the power cord and power up the device.
Power Button is Not Illuminated
A power button that will not illuminate means the device is not getting power. If this is the first time the device is being turned on, check once again and make sure that the power cord is pushed in firmly at both ends. If it will still will not power on, try switching to a different outlet as these go bad at times. If you find the outlet to be bad, cover it up with gaffer tape so that you know to avoid it and look into repairing/replacing soon as the outlets often die in pairs.
Screen is Illuminated
If the Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) screen appears to be on and is missing the icons to control the functions of the device, powering it off for a few seconds will help. If the power button is not responsive as I mentioned above, disconnecting the power cable for thirty (30) seconds will help.

If both the power button and LCD screen remains off, please check and make sure that all the cables are connected properly. When shifting the device, the cord at times become loose from the back. If the power cord becomes loose frequently, an extended power cable will be very helpful to you. If the cord is not the issue, use HP’s Warranty Check Tool to see if can obtain a warranty repair or replacement. Once you get the replacement get it sold as this model is plagued with issues.
Sending a Transmission
After powering up the device, it may take up to three (3) minutes for the device to get a dial tone so that it can send and receive faxes so be patient. If after three minutes you can not send faxes, please make sure that you have placed the RJ11 connectors on your telephone cord into their proper jacks in the rear of the device. In a rush, I have seen clients plugged into the wrong jack by feeling with their hands. Take your time and do it right.
Receiving a Transmission
Call from a phone (not fax) to see if the line rings and also to see if the device answers. If the line rings forever, check in the settings to see if it is set for auto answer. On a dedicated fax line, this will not be a problem to set as it will not pick up voice calls.
Connecting to Wireless
I notice lots of people are buying all in one printers when I keep telling them not to do so as they are harder to repair plus when it is being repaired, the other features such as scanner and fax will be offline thus hurting your business. To make matter worse, they now want to print over WiFi so I have made the SSID with AP Isolation to stop the use and unnecessary calls for support.
