[Image]From Tim Fisher, your Guide to PC SupportVery few computer issues are more frightening than when your PC won't even start.
How To Troubleshoot a Computer That Won't Turn On
[Image]Maybe it doesn't turn on at all, maybe it turns on but nothing shows up on screen, or maybe it even gets a bit through the boot process and then it freezes.
There are plenty of scary scenarios but the bottom line is always the same - you can't get all the way to your desktop. No way to access your music. No way to get to that homework. No way to forward that report to your boss.
It's really scary.
Luckily, very rarely does the issue end up being a hard drive problem, which is where all that precious data is stored. Most of the time something else is to blame. But what?

Barton publishing--High blood pressure

This Normalizes High Blood

Pressure Without Drugs or

Side Effects

Second Opinion econtent@letters.secondopinionnewsletter.com via e5.securepubs.com to me

show details 7:01 AM (2 hours ago)

Please find below a special message from our trusted
friends at Barton Publishing. They have some very
important information to share with you.

Thank you.

Second Opinion Letter

Brought to you by Barton Publishing Inc.

Since 1900
There
Has Never
Been
A High Blood Pressure
Medication

Without Dangerous

Side Effects...

And There Never

Will Be

If you take medications for high
blood pressure -
you're rolling the dice on your
life

The first medication

to control high

blood pressure was called sodium
thiocyanate, created back in 1900
It's actually a compound mixture of
salts and cyanide. It was found to
dramatically reduce blood pressure,
but also came with a price - life
threatening side effects.

Today, over 50,000
Americans
die every year because of hypertension
high blood pressure). And now, more
than ever, high blood pressure
medications are being doled out to us
like children touring
a candy factory. These meds appear
to have come a long way since 1900..
.but have they?

Not cyanide, but...

It's a drug called Nitropress® . It's a far
removed cousin of the old sodium thiocyanate
. And it too has been shown to significantly
lower blood pressure...

But some of the side effects of this
injection drug are:

Confusion and tinnitus (ringing
in the ears)
Gasping for a breath - or breathing
that stops altogether
Extreme light-headedness - even
while horizontal
Fainting
Hyperventilating, dizziness, nausea,
vomiting, and possible seizure

If you don't take this clearly dangerous
injection, then you're safe...or are you?

Fact is, there has never been a high blood
pressure medication without dangerous side
effects - and there never will be...

Where do you turn when

the cure is just as deadly as

the disease?

Warning: the following information can be
shocking. If you have any reservations about
knowing the truth regarding Big Pharma blood
pressure medicines, please skip ahead to the
next section

You want to be able to trust that your health care
professional has your best interests in mind...for
you and your family. Truth is, Big Pharma plays a
major role in how much "care" they can offer you.

See, the medical industry is governed by the
FDA and the pharmaceutical companies that
produce the drugs designed to save lives. Looks
good on paper...

But the fact of the matter is there are Big Bucks
to be made from suffering.

And they know it.

That's why they make the drugs that do - in fact
- serve to reduce illness and diseases. That's the
good news. The bad news is these medicines
come with a price higher than their astronomical
cost - dangerous, even life-threatening side effects.
Especially when you take multiple drugs for multiple
health problems.

When they give you the warnings about drug
interactions and possible debilitating side effects
- pay close attention! They tell you this for a reason
. All too many folks just like you regard these
warnings as necessary disclaimers and go
through life thinking it can't happen to them.
Think again.

Here are just a few things you need to worry
about when taking the most common high blood
pressure medicines:

==> Diuretics - these seemingly harmless
"water pills" cause an increase in urination and are
designed to lower blood pressure by eliminating
excess water and salt in the urine. This makes it
easier for your heart to pump. They carry the
common names of Zaroxolyn and Esidrix. The
problem is that they deplete your body of much
needed nutrients that also flow out when you
urinate. These drugs produce undesirable side
effects like frequent urination, dehydration, lethargy,
cramps and weakness. More serious (and
dangerous) to your health are fever,
sore throat, dizziness, blurred vision and arrhythmia
(abnormal heart beat).

==> Beta Blockers - designed to block the
flow of adrenaline, they can successfully lower
blood pressure by opening the blood vessels for
easier blood flow, and can reduce the speed and
force of your heartbeat. Some common side
effects are dizziness, feeling faint, and cold or
swo! llen hands and feet. In patients with diabetes,
these can also "block" the warning signs of low
blood-sugar levels. Less common, but all too
real, are wheezing and shortness of breath. Beta
Blockers can narrow air passages, making it
difficult to breath. If you're taking Propanolol,
Acebutolol, Metaprolol, Bisoprolol, or
Nebivolol - you're at risk.

==> Alpha Blockers - Flomax®, Cardura®,
Uroxatral®, and Hytrin® are all Alpha Blockers.
They lower your blood pressure by blocking
chemical messages sent by blood vessels. They
can also cause hair loss, runny nose, dizziness,
pounding headaches, extreme weakness,
weight gain, and can surge bad cholesterol,
putting your heart at risk of failure. Also, a
sudden drop in blood pressure caused by these
medicines brings the warning against driving or
"performing dangerous tasks" until you know
how they will affect you.

==>Vasodilators - high blood! pressure is
marked by a contraction of the blood vessels,
inhibiting blood flow and making your heart work
harder to perform. So it makes sense to use a
dilator to relax those smooth muscles and open
up the passages. However, the usual problems
are associated with their use - dizziness,
headaches, nausea and vomiting. But these can
also cause diarrhea, and loss of appetite (which
they swear is temporary). More serious are the
side effects they want you to see your doctor
for: unusual change in appearance - rashes,
skin tone changes - fainting, fluid retention, pain
in joints or back, weakness, unusual bleeding,
abnormal heart beat, mood changes, and
weight gain.

Most of these drugs are prescribed together. Many times, one is prescribed to cancel out the dangerous side effects of another. Do you really want to put that kind of stress on your body?

Seems not much has changed since that fateful day back in 1900 when the first high blood pressure "cure" was invented. At least , not until now...

Luckily, you don't have to rely on a myriad
of drugs to lower your blood pressure while
altering your body's natural chemistry. Meet
Joe Barton... He publishes the secrets to
healthy living that lower your blood pressure -
naturally.

Because Joe Barton is renowned for his deep
-rooted passion in natural cures of common
diseases - and, whenever possible, avoiding
unsafe, modern medicine. Joe knows first-hand
about the dangers of conventional treatments.
Joe's father almost died from severe acid reflux
after a botched ulcer surgery.

That fateful event lead Joe on a mission to
discover and publish the information that unlocks
the secrets of truly healthy living...with no
dangerous drugs and their side-effects.

See, Joe discovered that high blood pressure
affects 1 in 4 adults and if left untested, can be
one of the deadliest "silent" killers in the world.
From past experiences, Joe knows what ill health
can do to a family and he could never imagine
leaving his wife and children alone.

He knew through extensive research about the
dangers of Big Pharma meds to control this killer..
.so he looked for a better way. What he found is
that you can lower your blood pressure and
keep it right where it needs to be completely
by combining the right healthy foods - no
harmful drugs or dangerous "pill popping." Sounds
too good to be true; but, thankfully, it's not.

Joe made it his personal mission to avoid the
cure that's worse than the disease.

One glorious day he discovered a solution that
can shave 50 points off your blood pressure
numbers with nothing but natural remedies
and treatments - and no financial extortion by
the Big Pharma Mob.

All at once he realized - his discovery could help
thousands, if not millions of people, just like you.

So he decided to share his secrets...to help
keep others healthy, happy, energetic and more
important - around for many joyous years. To spend
time with friends and loved ones - not worrying which
day would be the last...

Today, he's giving

you the

opportunity to beat high

blood pressure for good, avoid

the costs and dangers of drugs,

and live life to the fullest -

without worry

Life is busy. And you don't want to miss out on
Joe's incredible story or the life-changing information
he has for you. Simply click here and watch this
short video presentation before you get sidetracked
and forget that you're rolling the dice on your precious life.

You don't need drugs to treat and control your
blood pressure. Putting that kind of stress on your
body by taking in a handful of expensive chemicals
that counter the side effects of the others is just
ridiculous! Even if they were effective, they open
you up to a whole list of additional side effects!
Does it make sense to chemically alter your body
like that?

Back in 1900, they didn't know any better...today,
we do know better. Why repeat the patterns of the
past and expect different results? Isn't that the
definition of insanity?

Watch this video right now and unlock the door
to a roomful of all-natural secrets that will lower your
blood pressure and keep it where it needs to be -
for the rest of your life. You have nothing to lose...
and your life to regain.

Status Report: Liars and Outliers

After a long and hard year, Liars and Outliers is done. I submitted the manuscript to the publisher on November 1, got edits back from both an outside editor and a copyeditor about a week later, spent another week integrating the comments and edits, and submitted the final manuscript to the publisher just before Thanksgiving. I had a chance to proofread the laid-out pages in early December, and now it's off to the printers.

It really feels great to be done. This is the hardest book I've written, and the most ambitious. Now I have to see how it's received. I know I should be thinking about creating a talk based on the book, but I want some time away from the ideas. I'll get back to that task in January.

Meanwhile, the publisher and I have been working on the cover. We settled on the art and layout months ago, but there's the back cover copy, the inside flaps copy, the author's bio, and the blurbs. I'm really happy with the blurbs I've received, and we're deciding what goes on the front cover, what goes on the back cover, and what goes inside on the first couple of pages of the book. Much of this text will also be used at various online bookstores as well, and at my own webpage for the book. I'll post the whole cover when it's final.

After that, the publisher will create the various e-book formats. I'm not sure how the figures and tables will translate, but I'll figure it out. Publication is still scheduled for mid-February, in time for the RSA Conference in San Francisco at the end of the month. I'll be doing a short interview about my book in something called the "Author's Studio" on Wednesday, and will have a book signing at the conference bookstore sometime that week.

Meanwhile, my publisher is printing galley copies. If anyone out there has a legitimate reason to get one, like writing book reviews for a newspaper, magazine, popular blog, etc., send me an e-mail and I'll forward your request to Wiley's PR department. I think they'll be ready in a week or so, although it might be after the new year.

Additionally, I'm going to get 10 to 20 copies that I'd like to give away to readers of Crypto-Gram and my blog. I'm not sure how to do it, though. Offering copies to "the first N people who leave a comment" would discriminate based on time zone. Giving copies away randomly to commenters seems, well, too easy. The person in charge of PR at Wiley wants me to give copies away randomly to people who "like" me on Facebook or tweet about me to their friends, or do some other sort of fake distributed marketing thing, but I'm not going to do that.

So to start, I've decided to give away a free galley copy of Liars and Outliers to the person who can come up with the best way to give away free galley copies of Liars and Outliers. Leave your suggestions in blog comments.

Malware on Smart Phones

Two articles of note here. The first is about the prevalence of malware on Android phones. I'm not surprised by this at all. The Android platform is where the malware action is. I believe that smart phones are going to become the primary platform of attack for cybercriminals in the coming years. As the phones become more integrated into people's lives -- smart phone banking, electronic wallets -- they're simply going to become the most valuable device for criminals to go after. And I don't believe the iPhone will be more secure because of Apple's rigid policies for the app store.

The second article is a good debunking of the first article. The author is right. Malware on portable devices isn't going to look or act the same way as malware on traditional computers. It isn't going to spread from phone to phone. I'm more worried about Trojans, either on legitimate or illegitimate apps, malware embedded in webpages, fake updates, and so on. A lot of this will involve social engineering the user, but I don't see that as much of a problem.

But I do see mobile devices as the new target of choice. And I worry much more about privacy violations. Your phone knows your location. Your phone knows who you talk to and -- with a recorder -- what you say. And when your phone becomes your digital wallet, your phone is going to know a lot more intimate things about you. All of this will be useful to both criminals and marketers, and we're going to see all sorts of illegal and quasi-legal ways both of those groups will go after that information.

And securing those devices is going to be hard, because we don't have the same low-level access to these devices we have with computers.

Anti-virus companies are using FUD to sell their products, but there are real risks here. And the time to start figuring out how to solve them is now.

Invasive U.S. surveillance programs, either illegal like the NSA's wiretapping of AT&T phone lines or legal as authorized by the PATRIOT Act, are causing foreign companies to think twice about putting their data in U.S. cloud systems. I think these are legitimate concerns. I don't trust the U.S. government, law or no law, not to spy on my data if it thought it was a good idea. The more interesting question is: which government should I trust instead?

Yet more fear mongering from the DHS: Al Qaeda is sewing bombs into people. Actually, not really. This is an "aspirational" terrorist threat, which basically means that someone mentioned it while drunk in a bar somewhere. Of course, that won't stop the DHS from trying to terrorize people with the idea and the security-industrial complex from selling us an expensive "solution" to reduce our fears. Wired: "So: a disruptive, potentially expensive panic based on a wild aspirational scheme? Actually, that sounds a *lot* like al-Qaida. And the TSA."

The SCADA Attack that Wasn't

Last month, there was a report of a hack against a SCADA system controlling a water pump in Illinois that destroyed the pump. Supposedly the Russians did it. Then it was revealed that it was all a misunderstanding.

The end of the second article makes the most important point, I think:

Joe Weiss says he's shocked that a report like this was put out
without any of the information in it being investigated and
corroborated first.

"If you can't trust the information coming from a fusion center,
what is the purpose of having the fusion center sending anything
out? That's common sense," he said. "When you read what's in
that [report] that is a really, really scary letter. How could DHS
not have put something out saying they got this [information but]
it's preliminary?"

Asked if the fusion center is investigating how information that
was uncorroborated and was based on false assumptions got into a
distributed report, spokeswoman Bond said an investigation of that
sort is the responsibility of DHS and the other agencies who
compiled the report. The center's focus, she said, was on how
Weiss received a copy of the report that he should never have
received.

"We're very concerned about the leak of controlled information,"
Bond said. "Our internal review is looking at how did this
information get passed along, confidential or controlled
information, get disseminated and put into the hands of users that
are not approved to receive that information. That's number one."

Notice that the problem isn't that a non-existent threat was overhyped in a report circulated in secret, but that the report became public. Never mind that if the report hadn't become public, the report would have never been revealed as erroneous. How many other reports like this are being used to justify policies that are as erroneous as the data that supports them?

Carrier IQ Spyware

Spyware on many smart phones monitors your every action, including collecting individual keystrokes. The company that makes and runs this software on behalf of different carriers, Carrier IQ, freaked when a security researcher outed them. It initially claimed it didn't monitor keystrokes -- an easily refuted lie -- and threatened to sue the researcher. It took EFF getting involved to get the company to back down. (A good summary of the details is here. This is pretty good, too.)

Carrier IQ is reacting really badly here. Threatening the researcher was a panic reaction, but I think it's still clinging to the notion that it can keep the details of what it does secret, or hide behind marketing statements and hair-splitting denials.

Several things matter here: 1) what data the Carrier IQ app collects on the handset, 2) what data the Carrier IQ app routinely transmits to the carriers, and 3) what data can the Carrier IQ app transmit to the carrier if asked. Can the carrier enable the logging of everything in response to a request from the FBI? We have no idea.

Expect this story to unfold considerably in the coming weeks. Everyone is pointing fingers of blame at everyone else, and Sen. Franken has asked the various companies involved for details.

One more detail is worth mentioning. Apple announced it no longer uses Carrier IQ in iOS5. I'm sure this means that they have their own surveillance software running, not that they're no longer conducting surveillance on their users.

Biological Link Between Altruism and Fairness

I write a lot about altruism, fairness, and cooperation in my new book (out in February!), so research on the link between altruism and fairness interests me a lot. This experiment found a correlation in 15-month old babies.

Both psychology and neuroscience have a lot to say about these topics, and the resulting debate reads like a subset of the "Is there such a thing as free will?" debate. I think those who believe there is no free will are misdefining the term.

What does this have to do with security? Everything. It's not until we understand the natural human tendencies of fairness and altruism that we can really understand people who take advantage of those tendencies, and build systems to prevent them from taking advantage.

Iranians Capture U.S. Drone

Iran has captured a U.S. surveillance drone. No one is sure how it happened. Looking at the pictures of the drone, it wasn't shot down and it didn't crash. The various fail-safe mechanisms on the drone seem to have failed; otherwise, it would have returned home. The U.S. claims that it was a simple "malfunction," but that doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

The Iranians claim they used "electronic warfare" to capture the drone, implying that they somehow took control of it in the air and steered it to the ground. It would be a serious security design failure if they could do that. Two years ago, there was a story about al Qaeda intercepting video signals from drones. The command-and-control channel is different; I assumed that there was some pretty strong encryption protecting that.

Recent Developments in Full Disclosure

Last week, I had a long conversation with Robert Lemos over an article he was writing about full disclosure. He had noticed that companies have recently been reacting more negatively to security researchers publishing vulnerabilities about their products.

The debate over full disclosure is as old as computing, and I've written about it before. Disclosing security vulnerabilities is good for security and good for society, but vendors really hate it. It results in bad press, forces them to spend money fixing vulnerabilities, and comes out of nowhere. Over the past decade or so, we've had an uneasy truce between security researchers and product vendors. That truce seems to be breaking down.

Lemos believes the problem is that because today's research targets aren't traditional computer companies -- they're phone companies, or embedded system companies, or whatnot -- they're not aware of the history of the debate or the truce, and are responding more viscerally. For example, Carrier IQ threatened legal action against the researcher that outed it, and only backed down after the EFF got involved. I am reminded of the reaction of locksmiths to Matt Blaze's vulnerability disclosures about lock security; they thought he was evil incarnate for publicizing hundred-year-old security vulnerabilities in lock systems. And just last week, I posted about a full-disclosure debate in the virology community.

I think Lemos has put his finger on part of what's going on, but that there's more. I think that companies, both computer and non-computer, are trying to retain control over the situation. Apple's heavy-handed retaliation against researcher Charlie Miller is an example of that. On one hand, Apple should know better than to do this. On the other hand, it's acting in the best interest of its brand: the fewer researchers looking for vulnerabilities, the fewer vulnerabilities it has to deal with.

It's easy to believe that if only people wouldn't disclose problems, we could pretend they didn't exist, and everything would be better. Certainly this is the position taken by the DHS over terrorism: public information about the problem is worse than the problem itself. It's similar to Americans' willingness to give both Bush and Obama the power to arrest and indefinitely detain any American without any trial whatsoever. It largely explains the common public backlash against whistle-blowers. What we don't know can't hurt us, and what we do know will also be known by those who want to hurt us.

There's some profound psychological denial going on here, and I'm not sure of the implications of it all. It's worth paying attention to, though. Security requires transparency and disclosure, and if we willingly give that up, we're a lot less safe as a society.

The Register And DUQu Exposure

थे Regiter and DUQU Exposure-visit website
Duqu spawned by 'well-funded team of competent coders' alert print comment tweet World's first known modular rootkit does steganography, too By Dan Goodin in San Francisco • Get more from this author Posted in Malware, 9th November 2011 01:09 GMT Free whitepaper – Achieve Workforce Continuity and Keep Your Business Running The Duqu malware that targeted industrial manufacturers around the world contains so many advanced features that it could only have been developed by a team of highly skilled programmers who worked full time, security researchers say. The features include steganographic processes that encrypt stolen data and embed it into image files before sending it to attacker-controlled servers, an analysis by NSS researchers found. Using a custom protocol to hide the proprietary information inside the innocuous-looking file, before it's sent to command and control servers, is a centuries-old technique used to conceal the exchange of sensitive communications. Duqu is also the world's first known modular plugin rootkit, the researchers said. That allows the attackers to add or remove functionality and change command and control servers quickly with little effort. The conclusion the researchers draw from their analysis is that Duqu is the product of well organized team of highly motivated developers. “Given the complexity of the system (solid driver code plus impressive system architecture) it is not possible for this to have been written by a single person, nor by a team of part-time amateurs,” NSS researchers Mohamed Saher and Matthew Molinyawe wrote. “The implication is that, given the requirement for multiple man-years of effort, that this has been produced by a disciplined, well-funded team of competent coders.” The modular design means that there's a potentially large number of components that have yet to be discovered. NSS has released a scanning tool that can detect all Duqu drivers installed on an infected system. The tool doesn't generate false positives and has already been used to spot two previously undetected Duqu drivers, the researchers said. “We hope the research community can use this tool to discover new drivers and would ask that any samples be provided to NSS researchers (anonymously if preferred) in order to aid us in understanding more about the threat posed by Duqu,” they wrote. The researchers echoed previous reports that Duqu contains many similarities to the Stuxnet worm used to sabotage uranium enrichment plants in Iran. The NSS analysis said Duqu uses similar code and techniques to those of Stuxnet, but they said there's not enough evidence to say Duqu is derived from Stuxnet. “Many researchers are claiming definitively that the Duqu authors had access to the original Stuxnet source code,” they wrote. “This has not been proven. It is possible for anyone to reverse engineer the original Stuxnet code to the point where it can be modified and recompiled.” If at the end of all of this you're left scratching your head, you're in good company. Duqu's state-of-the-art design and its resemblance to Stuxnet makes the malware worth watching, but with key questions still unanswered, it's too early to know exactly what to think. “There is no possible explanation for the production of such a sophisticated and elegant system merely to steal the information that has been targeted so far,” they wrote. “Why go to all this trouble to deploy a simple key-logger? Given that there are additional drivers waiting to be discovered, we can liken Duqu to a sophisticated rocket launcher – we have yet to see the real ammunition appear.” ® Follow @dangoodin001 on Twitter.

4 Features for Desktop Privacy

The Web is pretty happy place full of puppies, clouds and rainbows (and cats, of course). Unfortunately, there are also some big meanies out there who don't play nice with people's private information. Here, then, are some tools to help you keep your info your own.

Do Not Track
Many sites track what you do online and then sell that data to advertisers; Firefox lets you tell them you want to opt out. This doesn't yet make you invisible to all advertisers, however, and while not everyone is on board yet, we've seen a lot of interest and progress. If you haven't already, show your support by enabling Do Not Track on your desktop or mobile today.

Private Browsing
This feature does exactly what it says. Turn it on to keep your browsing history private from others who use the same computer. Sometimes it's nice to go undercover.

Clear Recent History
Forgot to turn on Private Browsing? No problem. You can delete the most recent sites you visited with just a few clicks.

Forget This Site
If you're having second thoughts about visiting a specific site, but don't want to lose your whole history, you can remove any trace of it from your browser. It's like it never existed in the first place. (What site? Exactly.)

4 Tools for Back to School

Get the new school year started right with this custom bundle of add-ons for added productivity. It'll help you get organized, improve your efficiency and — most importantly — stay social. You can also share it with your friends. If by some chance they don't already have Firefox (*gasp*), they can download a custom version pre-loaded with the same bundle. Give the gift of productivity and modern browsing.
