It looks like there's a new law in Louisiana that prevents those selling or buying second-hand goods, from accepting/using cash as a form of payment. According to the new law, "Anyone, other than a non-profit entity, who buys, sells, trades in or otherwise acquires or disposes of junk or used or secondhand property more frequently than once per month from any other person, other than a non-profit entity, shall be deemed as being in the business of a secondhand dealer."
Facebook Tracks You Even AFTER You Log Out
Did you know Facebook is tracking you everywhere you go on the Web? Even after you log out of Facebook, they're still tracking your footsteps and that data is tied to your Facebook User ID.
Liberty Version Numbers
When helping our clients that run Liberty4 Consignment in their consignment/resale business, something we're commonly asked is, "Why are Liberty's version numbers different?"
[Warning] New Facebook Threat
There is a *new threat floating around Facebook. It's another one of those "See Who's Viewing Your Profile" scams. I'm surprised so many people are dying to see who's viewing their profile.
Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware Pro
Antivirus alone is no longer enough though. Threats come in all shapes and sizes and “virus” no longer covers the gamut of threats out there. Once a system is compromised, it can be very difficult to regain control over. The most effective tool in regaining control over a compromised system, in our experience, is Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware Pro.
New Facebook Settings You Should Enable
Facebook has added new privacy options that we recommend enabling. The first is a feature called Profile Review. This lets users preview posts other users tag them in. Since rogue Facebook applications can tag users in posts, this is a great way to prevent bogus posts from spreading.
Give your Facebook posts some TLC!
In my experience, the worst thing you can do is share an "ugly" URL or an article that doesn't properly format when you attach it to a Facebook post. Since you're using Facebook for your business, take the extra 30 seconds to spruce up your post before you push it out the door.
“This computer is brand new, it should be just fine!”
This is something we hear on a daily basis here at The Computer Peeps. A client will call in stating their system is running slowly. We'll ask where the system was purchased, who recommended the system, etc. Once we remote-in and take a look, the reason behind the "slowness" becomes clear - the computer is overloaded with bloatware.
Spiders, oh my!
Well, I thought it was just my 'friends' on Facebook that were clicking the spider link, so I just left them to their own devices (I've warned them a million times about this sort of stuff and they choose to ignore the warnings). I've seen a bunch more people click that link though, so I figured I'd put up a blog post about it.
[Warning] Virus via Fake Justin Bieber Facebook Post
The Biebs. The Biebs. We all love her. This latest social engineering attack comes by way of Justin Bieber and a "video that ends his career for good." I guess these sorts of links are irresistible too. It's the guys clicking this one :D
