Dealing with Viruses, Trojan Agents
Someone said that Hell is here on earth for a start.. based on the number of daily viruses, Trojans increasing now that seems to be true.. http://thenonconformer.wordpress.com/2010/10/28/consumer-complaints-abuses-and-their-increase-was-so-predictable/
The following is a list of tools and utilities that I too also would like to suggest to people. This list is full of great tools and utilities to help you understand how you got infected and how to keep from getting infected again.
Spybot Search & Destroy – Uber powerful tool which can search and annhilate nasties that make it onto your system. Now with an Immunize section that will help prevent future infections.
AdAware – Another very powerful tool which searches and kills nasties that infect your system. AdAware and Spybot Search & Destroy compliment each other very well.
SpywareBlaster – Great prevention tool to keep nasties from installing on your system.
CleanUP! – Cleans temporary files from IE and Windows, empties the recycle bin and more. Great tool to help speed up your computer and knock out those nasties that like to reside in the temp folders.
Windows Updates – It is very important to make sure that both Internet Explorer and Windows are kept current with the latest critical security patches from Microsoft. To do this just start Internet Explorer and select Tools > Windows Update, and follow the online instructions from there.
ZonedOut + IE-SpyAd – puts over 5000 sites in your restricted zone so you'll be protected when you visit innocent-looking sites that aren't actually innocent at all.
Trillian or Miranda-IM – These are Malware free Instant Messenger programs which allow you to connect to multiple IM services in one program! (AOL, Yahoo, ICQ, IRC, MSN)
ERUNT (Emergency Recovery Utility NT) allows you to keep a complete backup of your registry and restore it when needed. The standard registry backup options that come with Windows back up most of the registry but not all of it. ERUNT however creates a complete backup set, including the Security hive and user related sections. ERUNT is easy to use and since it creates a full backup, there are no options or choices other than to select the location of the backup files. The backup set includes a small executable that will launch the registry restore if needed.
Recovery Console – Recent trends appear to indicate that future infections will include attacks to the boot sector of the computer. The installation of the Recovery Console in the computer will be our only defense against this threat. For more information and steps to install the Recovery Console see This Article. Should you need assistance in installing the Recovery Console, please do not hesitate to ask.
To find out more information about how you got infected in the first place and some great guidelines to follow to prevent future infections you can read this article by Tony Klein and this one by Miekiemoes.
You usually get infected because your security settings are too low.
" You usually get infected because your security settings are too low.Let's also not forget that SpyBot Search and Destroy has the Immunize feature which works roughly the same way.
It can't hurt to use both.6) IE-SPYAD
that track your viewing habits, known as "click-thru tracking".
However as time has progressed the focus of this project has changed from blocking ads/banners to protecting the user from the many parasites that now exist on the Internet. It doesn't serve much purpose if you block the ad banner from displaying, but get hijacked by a parasite from an evil script or download contained on the web site. The object is to surf faster while preserving your Safety, Security and Privacy.
Incidentally, another site with an enormous amount of information on computer security, and which is well worth a visit is http://www.wilderssecurity.com/
Finally, after following up on all these recommendations, why not run Jason Levine's Browser Security Tests.
They will provide you with an insight on how vulnerable you might still be to a number of common exploits.
If you are using XP or windows 2000 or 2003 then this application will also help a lot to prevent hijacking
https://www.prevx.com
And make sure your Antivirus and firewall is switched on and kept updated
Microsoft MVP/Windows – Security "
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/lofiversion/index.php/t188362.html
What do you recommend?
"Here are a number of good recommendations that will help tighten them, and which will contribute to making you a less likely victim:
1) Watch what you download!
Many freeware programs, and P2P programs like Grokster, Imesh, Kazaa and others are amongst the most notorious, come with an enormous amount of bundled spyware that will eat system resources, slow down your system, clash with other installed software, or just plain crash your browser or even Windows itself.
2) Go to IE > Tools > Windows Update > Product Updates, and install ALL Security Updates listed.
It's important to always keep current with the latest security fixes from Microsoft. Install those patches for Internet Explorer, and make sure your installation of Java VM is up-to-date. There are some well known security bugs with Microsoft Java VM which are exploited regularly by browser hijackers.
3) Go to Internet Options/Security/Internet, press 'default level', then OK.
Now press "Custom Level."
In the ActiveX section, set the first two options ("Download signed and unsigned ActiveX controls) to 'prompt', and 'Initialize and Script ActiveX controls not marked as safe" to 'disable'.
Now you will be asked whether you want ActiveX objects to be executed and whether you want software to be installed.
Sites that you know for sure are above suspicion can be moved to the Trusted Zone in Internet Option/security.
So why is activex so dangerous that you have to increase the security for it?
When your browser runs an activex control, it is running an executable program. It's no different from doubleclicking an exe file on your hard drive.
Would you run just any random file downloaded off a web site without knowing what it is and what it does?
And some more advice:
4) Install Javacool's SpywareBlaster
It will protect you from all spy/foistware in it's database by blocking installation of their ActiveX objects.
Download and install, download the latest updates, and you'll see a list of all spyware programs covered by the program (NOTE: this is NOT spyware found on your computer)
Press "select all", then "kill all checked", and you're done.
The spyware that you told Spywareblaster to set the "kill bit" for won't be a hazard to you any longer.
Although it won't protect you from every form of spyware known to man, it is a very potent extra layer of protection.
Don't forget to check for updates every week or so.
5) Another brilliant program by Javacool we recommend is SpywareGuard.
It provides a degree of real-time protection solution against spyware that is a great addition to SpywareBlaster's protection method.
An anti-virus program scans files before you open them and prevents execution if a virus is detected – SpywareGuard does the same thing, but for spyware! And you can easily have an anti-virus program running alongside SpywareGuard. It now also features Download Protection and Browser Hijacking Protection!
Lately supposedly the reason many even Vista personal computers seem to freeze up is that some people have not updated all of their software, especially their Adobe software, that Microsoft explorer also uses such as http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ http://get.adobe.com/reader/ http://get.adobe.com/air/
Windows XP Tips http://windowsxp.mvps.org/tips_page.htm
see also Basic computer troubleshooting http://www.computerhope.com/basic.htm
puts over 5000 sites in your restricted zone, so you'll be protected when you visit innocent-looking sites that aren't actually innocent at all.
7) The IE hosts file blocks ads, banners, cookies, web bugs, and even most hijackers. This is accomplished by blocking the Server that supplies these little gems.
Example – the following entry 127.0.0.1 ad.doubleclick.net blocks all files supplied by the DoubleClick Server to the web page you are viewing. This also prevents the server from tracking your movements.It Now includes most major parasites, hijackers and unwanted Search Engines!
In many cases this can speed the loading of web pages by not having to wait for these ads, banners, hit counters, etc. to load.
This also helps to protect your Privacy by blocking servers

Internet monthly download limits
NEW YORK – Three months ago, Guy Distaffen switched Internet providers, lured from his cable company to his phone company by a year of free service on a two-year contract. But soon the company quietly updated its policies to say it would limit his Internet activity each month. "We felt that were suckered," said Distaffen, who lives in the small village of Silver Springs in upstate New York. The phone company, Frontier Communications Corp., is one of several Internet service providers that are moving to curb the growth of traffic on their networks, or at least make the subscribers who download the most pay more.
This could have consequences not just for consumers — who would have to learn to watch how much data their Internet use entails — but also for companies that hope to make the Internet a conduit for movies and other content that comes in huge files. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080822/ap_on_hi_te/tec_internet_caps_2
Comcast Corp., the second-largest internet service provider in the United States, confirmed Thursday it would set an official limit on the amount of data subscribers can download and upload each month. On Oct. 1, the cable company will change its user agreement to say that users will be allowed 250 gigabytes of traffic per month, the company announced on its website.
Caps are not the same as throttling. Many ISP such as Bell also have severe download throtlling during peak times, evenings and weekends.. and they throttle torrents FROM 520 Kb/sec, to a trickle of 30 Kb/sec!!!
Any excuse to "throttle" or to cap for extra cash seems to be the fare of the day with greedy gouging hogs, wild Boars, the ISP's these days.
One person has said "one of the best ISPs in the world…. Novus…we have fiber right to our apartment, 10mBit service and no hard data caps… fast, and in both directions, …and they offer a 50mBit service as well…."

"My more costly plan with Shaw Cable has 100 GB per month cap and download speed of 10 Mbps. "
"National Capital FreeNet works great for me and they have a 200GB download limit. Bell and Rogers seems to want to take advantage of people that don't read the fine print. Monthly charges can get very expensive we you have to start paying for extra download allocation."
Bell, Sympatico, now is not even close to being competetitive..

BEIJING (AFP) – Around four million Chinese youngsters are addicted to the Internet, mainly attracted by "unhealthy" online games, state media reported Friday, citing a top legislator. "Internet-addicted teenagers" account for around 10 percent of China's Web users under the age of 18, the Beijing Times said, quoting Li Jianguo, a vice chairman of the standing committee of the National People's Congress, or parliament. The committee has called for stricter monitoring of Internet games that have illegal or inappropriate content, the report said. It has also said games should include technology that automatically logs players off once they exceed a set number of hours of continuous play.

The Justifiable Consumer uproar in Canada
I have sent many letters to the useless Minister of Industry, Consumer affairs, Jim Prentice MP CorrespondenceMinister@ic.gc.ca and when I next phoned them in Ottawa and I HAD RECENTLY asked about a decent reply to my many letters, they said they do not know where they are, and for me to mail them again TO THEM.. RATHER ask them to read them on the net too then for they are there as well!! Let them RE read this too..
Stephen Harper is a hit when viewed from afar Calgary Herald, Canada – From a close-up perspective, the Conservative government has put in a fairly credible, largely scandal-free performance since the election in 2006 ????????????????????? Not true!
The MP Stephen Harper, he is nice from far but far from nice, as we all know also that he lies, lied, had broken most of his re-election promises, which the Conservative Ostriches in Alberta would now have us falsely try to deny, and even have us wrongfully to become liars like them now too… even denying Harper's and the Conservative promises of full openness, transparency , accountability and not to hire any conservative friends, etc,… to be different than the other parties now too.. not be merely another bullies, bashers, liars, slanderers, living high on the hog, alcoholics, etc,..
the typical bad lawyer, Minister of industry, consumer affairs, Jim Prentice MP, also hires his Conservative friend, shame on you.. Tories appoint Reform founder Manning to science advisory panel AND as for Preston Manning ALL HE SEEMS TO LOVE TO TALK ABOUT MONEY THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL.. NOW HE MANNING WILL GET MORE MONEY TO DO THAT TOO. ABSURD! If he is now a real Christian then I am a monkey's uncle too. HOW IS THAT FOR A SCIENTIFIC INPUT?
Meanwhile Province bows to PM's bullying A working minority Cadman biographer stands by his account
So the Industry minister even calls on Bell, Telus to explain new text charges-
This is not even a new issue but an old one. I firstly could not help but notice that a very significant AMOUNT OF YOUNG PEOPLE USE THE iPHONES AND COMPUTERS STILL, and that as a direct result we now have whole generation of users who clearly do strongly hate the federal government as well as the big corporations for allowing them to be abused again and again. A really Smart move?? for the Conservatives and big Corporations getting young customers too mad at them now even for life. Certainly not a good, or a great marketing practice for the Conservatives, the Corporations, even for Industry Minister Jim Prentice MP. The whole fiasco, poor past responses, inactions now still being poorly thought out ironically applies now even to to the Conservatives and the Industry Minister himself now as well.. It all clearly falls in the same category as the Conservative Stockwell Day MP and his past skidoo antics.
"Finally Industry Minister Jim Prentice is calling on the chief executive officers of Bell and Telus to meet with him and explain their decision to charge consumers for incoming text messages. Jim Prentice has sent letters to the heads of the two companies, has said the decision to charge consumers without text bundling packages will hurt consumers. The companies must meet with him before Aug. 8. "While I have no desire to interfere with the day-to-day business decisions of two private companies, I do have a duty as minister of industry to protect the interests of the consuming public when necessary," Prentice said in a statement. "I believe this was a poorly thought out decision." Under the Corporations new plans, customers will be charged 15 cents for each incoming text message, including uninvited spam messages. Previously, customers without text plans were only charged for outgoing messages. Customers with a text messaging rate plan or bundle will not be affected by the new charges."
Hey let me shout it all to you again and again, as a taxpayer I too always do openly rightfully expect always a good government, and I rightfully expect the government to do it's job, including all of it's ministers, and I rightfully also expect them always to fully to protect the citizens from the Corporations false misleading advertising, price gouging, price fixing, price collusions, bait and switch approach sales marketing approach, and a lot more. The problem also with the industry minister acting now on the iphone text issue while better late than never, is that the same major ISPs have used the same immoral approach on their Internet services as well and to date nothing was , is being done still about that wrongfully. and this is also still unacceptable.
It is also still interesting how much of the negative complaints rightfully are even coming from Alberta even from the Industries Minister's own riding, Province too, right from the heart of Conservative supporter country.
http://www.cbc.ca/canada/calgary/story/2008/07/09/ndp-messaging.html?ref=rss&loomia_si=t0:a16:g2:r5:c0.0764563#articlecomments
Here again is how many Canadian consumers, citizens do see it as far as the iphones mainly. "Only the person who sends the message should be charged plain and simple. Why should I pay because some spammer sent me a text message that I did not want to receive. If I don't want to answer my phone, I can simply ignore a call, but a text message from a number I don't recognize is delivered to my phone whether I want it to be or not."
"Don't think for one minute that hasn't been their plan all along – announce it at a high rate, with the intent of "backing off" to a lower rate…and then slowly increase that rate over the next few years once there's a general acceptance of the practice "
"I am loathe to trust a company that changes the terms of my agreement mid-contract. I would like to learn how it is that they are allowed to do this, but if I would like to change the particulars of my contract mid agreement, it is not allowed. I would like to think that if the terms are changed, shouldn't the principal agreement holder be notified of the changes, otherwise it be nullified?"
"Pay twice for one service….. I'll charge a fee to them for writing a cheque to pay my bill"
"Clearly it is in the best interest of consumers for their elected representatives to voice their concerns on top of those of the consumers when Canadians are being gouged at almost every turn. Bell and Telus clearly to not have the best interests of their customers in mind, rather as always, they are motivated by greed and profit. "
"Kudo's to the NDP on this one!!"
This is so typical Bell, Bait and Switch, first bait the customers and nail the customers on the extras next too.
Google slams Bell Canada: open Internet is "extraordinary"
Ars Technica – By Nate Anderson | Published: July 08, 2008 – 12:30PM CT The public comments on Bell Canada's P2P throttling practices are in, and one thing is clear: a gulf the size of Nunavut separates the huge ISPs from web-based companies and consumer groups. Google goes further; not only should Bell stop picking and choosing which lawful apps to throttle, but the company needs to start upgrading its infrastructure in a serious way. Throttling merely "encourages carriers to build their business model around managing scarcity, rather than developing more abundant capacity.
Google slams Bell Canada for throttling Internet Canada.com TORONTO – Internet heavyweight Google Inc. has waded into a fight with Bell Canada, saying the telecommunications company should be "prohibited" from the practice of curtailing of peer-to-peer Internet use to manage limited capacity on its network.

Cellphone users to be charged for incoming text messages
CBC.ca – Cellphone users with Bell and Telus are going to have to fork over a little more to receive incoming text messages, under new pricing plans slated to roll out in August.

There is a public outrage on the part of Canadian consumers following the release of the local pricing plans. Apple the iPhone maker has watched nearly 50,000 of its loyal customers sign an anti-Rogers petition at ruinediphone.com, which has in turn sparked hundreds of potentially damaging reports on the matter by bloggers and members of the mainstream media.
Canada's cellphone market is currently dominated by three key players – Bell (TSX:BCE), Telus and Rogers Communications Inc.(TSX:RCI.B).
The petition has attracted attention in Canada and abroad, but it won't have any effect on Rogers unless consumers follow through with the old-fashioned but simple and reliable strategy for pulling down prices.
If you don't like the price of an iPhone, don't buy it. If Rogers finds it has priced itself out of the market, it won't take a petition to ring in lower prices.
All that is just the beginning of the Customer reactions, war I had written about months ago too.

Canada's phone companies and the federal government itself have still even failed to understand how the consumers, markets are changing.. so both Bell and Telus get hit by a backlash over new texting prices. It is not just about price, it was about the restriction and limitation of the user experiences too. Canadian telecom giants are feeling the heat like never before by an increasingly savvy and demanding customer against finely tuned telecom incumbents . There is irony to the fact that as the phone companies roll out new services that allow people to communicate instantly in new ways, their customers are using the technology to express their criticism of how those services are offered and priced. the government's plan to keep the wireless industry also unregulated is real crap. Neither of these rather mostly abusive parties are about to listen to the Canadian Customers still, it will take more drastic responses..

ISP false, misleading adds
Stop now today, the unacceptable, misleading Rogers, Bell, Videotron ISP adds about having the fastest internet connection or the most powerfull that firstly do not mention their download cappings now too!!
Rogers and Bell Sympatico has each announced super fast internet service, Everyone is misleading the customers in Canada, DSL and Cable ISP that they are providing the fastest internet speeds, but there is a catch, this is not their basic common services offered..
but also that should be available from Rogers even only by the end of the year 2008. More bad news is that it won't be cheap! Customers can expect to pay about $100 per month plus taxes in order to have the fastest internet connection on their block
Bell and Rogers present adds are misleading about their speeds which are Not available in most parts of Canada firstly too
Rogers Cable Communications today announced plans to launch an even faster internet service, which will offer customers the fastest residential service. rogers Yahoo! Hi-Speed Elite will provide a speed of up to 18 megabits per. Rogers Cable announced Elite high speed internet (HSI) service that it says will provide download speeds of up to 18 megabits per second. The company did not announce upload speeds.
Bell Canada today announced the availability of Sympatico Optimax which promises maximum download speeds of 16 megabits per second (Mbps). Sympatico will offer two levels of service . A 10 Mbps service for $70 per month and a 16 Mps service for $100 per month. Both services will have a 75 GB bandwith cap. The company did not announce download speeds, however, it is expected to be the same as the Sympatico Optimax service in Montreal which has an upload speed of 1 Mbps.
Do rightfully Make them all more honest, more transparent about the type of services, speeds they do offer now and where as well..
Bell and Rogers throttles BitTorrent to hell and back. The only workaround some say is is to use port 1720, which is a temporary solution only. Because Rogers throttles BitTorrent and other P2P, and they're not gonna leave port 1720 unthrottled forever. cap your upload to 75-80% of your actual maximum (in KiB/s).. there are other options.. merely leave Bell and Rogers..
Capping: The Criminal Code of Canada's section 184.2.c.i-ii DOES NOT warrant them to do packet sniffing. It allows them to ONLY 'sample' traffic for quality reasons. You need to remember that these rules were drafted to stop people making their own wire taps on phone technology. What the statement is saying is that: If I am a phone tech I am allowed to connect to the line to check for hums/crackels/dead-service and then do my job to fix it. With Internet traffic you may not capture a person's traffic unless a court order is issued to do so. The subject of traffic shaping is very different…They are looking into packet headers and making changes that are not a privacy issue…
"If you were half as good at running a company as you were at lobbying, maybe you'd have a better network," Quebecor executive vice-president Luc Lavoie who took a shot at the quality of Bell Canada's cellphone service: . http://news.aol.ca/article/telecom-summit/258999/
The future is wireless, some would say and the past way they have mismanaged their past land line, ISP services too, clearly indicates they will do it also next with the wireless services too at the users, customers expenses…
Recent discussions by both Bell and Rogers on their Corporate need to get more and more money, with even any excuse, still out of consumers, and to throttle the downloads, only all clearly confirms the reality as to how poorly managed these same companies in reality are still.. They too now have been wrongfully over subsidized by the CRTC, the Canadian federal governments now too… now it is rather time the citizens got the break, protection.

Stand by your ex (or be hoist by your own Couillard) Globe and Mail – What was he doing in Julie Couillard's house so long after they had broken up? Why did he leave sensitive documents there?
The NDP has followed through with its promise to introduce legislation to the House of Commons that seeks to keep the internet open and free from control by service providers.
"This bill is about fairness to consumers," said Charlie Angus, the NDP's digital spokesman, in the House of Commons on Wednesday. "The internet is a critical piece of infrastructure not just for Canada but for the world … this bill protects the innovation agenda of Canada."
The private member's bill, C-552, is in reaction to moves by some of Canada's largest internet service providers (ISPs), including Bell Canada Inc. and Rogers Communications Inc., to limit their customers' uses of the internet. Bell, Rogers and a few others say a small percentage of customers have been congesting their networks by using peer-to-peer applications such as BitTorrent, so they have slowed the internet down at peak times of the day.
The ISPs' actions have provoked outrage from internet users, with about 300 protesters taking to the steps of Parliament Hill on Tuesday. Critics have said the targeting of peer-to-peer applications is just the tip of the iceberg. If ISPs are allowed to decide which internet applications can and can't be used, innovative new companies that were born from experimentation — such as Google, Amazon and eBay — may not happen in the future.
"Net neutrality affects everybody, every person, every business, every hospital, every institution is involved in the exchange of information over the internet," Angus told CBCnews.ca. "This shouldn't be about party lines."
The four-page bill seeks to amend the Telecommunications Act and "prohibit network operators from engaging in network management practices that favour, degrade or prioritize any content, application or service transmitted over a broadband network based on its source, ownership or destination, subject to certain exceptions."
It also looks to prohibit "network operators from preventing a user from attaching any device to their network and requires network operators to make information about the user's access to the internet available to the user."
The proposed bill makes exception for ISPs to manage traffic in reasonable cases, Angus said, such as providing stable speeds for applications such as gaming or video conferencing.
"There are areas where telecoms have to be able to exercise rights, but that doesn't give them the ability to arbitrarily interfere or discriminate," Angus said.
Section 27 (2) of the Telecommunications Act says: "No Canadian carrier shall, in relation to the provision of a telecommunications service or the charging of a rate for it, unjustly discriminate or give an undue or unreasonable preference toward any person, including itself, or subject any person to an undue or unreasonable disadvantage."
The CRTC certainly shows no signs of protecting consumers, nor do the Conservatives and Libersls; they are much more likely to protect the interests of corporations when it comes to an issue such as this..
Officials at Bell and Rogers did not immediately return requests for comment.
A spokesperson for Minister of Industry Jim Prentice also did not immediately return a request for comment. The spokesperson also did not reply to requests for comment on the net neutrality rally.
Liberal industry critic Scott Brison has not weighed in on the issue, despite having held meetings with Bell, Rogers and several smaller ISPs a few weeks ago. His spokesman did not reply to a request for comment on Wednesday.
The CRTC can't impose fines for companies violating the Telecommunications Act? Then what is the point of the act?
Section 36 also says: "Except where the commission approves otherwise, a Canadian carrier shall not control the content or influence the meaning or purpose of telecommunications carried by it for the public."
Despite those two sections, Angus said CRTC chairman Konrad von Finckenstein told the Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage two weeks ago that the regulator did not have sufficient means to punish ISPs violating the rules. Finckenstein said the CRTC needs the ability to impose monetary penalties for violating both the Telecommunications and Broadcasting Acts.

The Canadian government, courts and Bell
Anyone still wonder why the Conservatives cannot get out of their minority government slump? Over and over again I have the citizens say the same thing even face to face today.. "the politicians do nothing about the immoral, lying, stealing, no good, abusive Corporations in Canada like Bell Sympatico because they too often do the same thing. The Conservatives included." Bell Sympatico complaints
Canadians are fighting back against Bell Canada's traffic shaping by organizing a rally in support of network neutrality. The rally is being backed by a long list of organizations including Google, two major political parties, three ISPs, and two major unions. It was set for today May 27, 2007 Tuesday at 11:30 am on Parliament Hill in Ottawa. The only question that remains is, will the government listen?"
"The federal New Democrats will introduce a private member's bill on Wednesday that would entrench the principle of "net neutrality" and enact rules to keep the internet free from interference by service providers, an NDP MP told a rally Tuesday in Ottawa.Parliament Hill was beset by about 300 people impassioned by an issue not usually associated with protest marches: internet access. "Save the internet," read one angry placard. "Say no to Big Brother watching you," said another.The New Democratic Party's Charlie Angus told the cheering crowd that the private member's bill would protect Canadian consumers from having their internet speeds "throttled" by service providers."You are citizens of a digital realm and you have rights," he said.The protesters, some of whom boarded buses in the early morning hours to get to the rally, are supporters of net neutrality, a movement urging the government to enact rules that prevent large internet service providers (ISPs) from interfering with the free flow of information over the internet. "Our net not for sale," they chanted, as well as, "Whose net? Our net."At issue in the net neutrality debate are the actions of big ISPs that have been slowing down the internet speeds of customers who use certain types of applications, such as peer-to-peer software used for file sharing.Bell Canada Inc. and Rogers Communications Inc., Canada's two largest ISPs, as well as a few others including Videotron Ltée. and Cogeco Inc., have for some time been engaging in a practice known as "traffic shaping" or "throttling," where speeds of certain types of internet applications are slowed at certain times of the day. The main targets have been peer-to-peer applications such as BitTorrent, which have emerged as efficient ways of transferring large files like videos.The ISPs say they are throttling such applications because a small percentage of customers are creating network congestion through constant use, which is slowing down connection speeds for the majority.Angus took a swipe at the Liberals, who have been largely silent on the issue of net neutrality. Industry critic Scott Brison met with Bell, Rogers and other independent ISPs weeks ago, but has still not formed a position."This is not a partisan issue, but we're hearing radio silence," Angus told CBCNews.ca. "Where are the Liberals?"Mauril Bélanger, Liberal MP for Ottawa-Vanier, also addressed the crowd and agreed that control of the internet must be kept out of the hands of vested interests. He said the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) already has the power to do this with the Telecommunications Act and refused to support the NDP's billProtesters at the rally said the ISPs have not only failed to prove their claims regarding the need for throttling, they also have no right to pick and choose which internet applications run faster than others."When did Bell deign to say what's good and what's bad?" said Gatsby Wong, 32, a computer technician who got on a bus in Toronto at 4 a.m. in order to get to the rally. "Who gave them that right?"Protesters also said the practices are anticompetitive, since internet-based phone or video sales services run up against the ISPs' own existing business lines."They say they have a congestion problem, but where's the proof?" said Mark Farr, 49, a renovations worker who made the trip from Welland, Ont., to attend the rally. "They say I'm the problem, but they're the problem."Spokespeople for Bell and Rogers did not return requests for comment.Rally leaders urged Minister of Industry Jim Prentice and the CRTC to enact rules enshrining the rights of internet users. Net neutrality isn't just an issue for technical geeks, they said, it is vital for maintaining freedom of speech and for keeping the innovation that has resulted in the birth and growth of such revolutionary companies as Google, Amazon and eBay."We need to protect the internet from being hijacked by vested interests," said Phillipa Lawson, director of the Canadian Internet Policy and Public Interest Clinic (CIPPIC), at the University of Ottawa. " If market forces could solve this problem we wouldn't be here today."Rocky Gaudrault, the rally's main organizer and chief executive officer of TekSavvy Solutions Inc., told protesters that net neutrality is comprised of three basic principles: competition, innovation and consumer rights. "I'm sorry, but none of those are for sale."
Smaller ISPs such as TekSavvy, as well as more than 50 others represented at the rally by the Canadian Association of Internet Providers (CAIP), are taking particular exception with Bell's traffic-shaping practices. Because it has a taxpayer-funded monopoly over phone-cable infrastructure in much of Canada, Bell — as well as other phone companies — is mandated by the CRTC to rent portions of its network to CAIP members so they can provide services to their own customers.

It has already been openly alleged that Bell has somone at the CRTC in their back pocket.

Who is next?
" Foreign Affairs Minister Maxime Bernier was the first firing in the 28-month Canadian Conservative government's reign under Prime Minister Stephen Harper. Another revelation emerged over the weekend about Ms. Couillard's connections to an airport security company, yet the Conservatives still refused to entertain the notion this might be a cause for concern. But I suspect the kicker clearly came yesterday when Stephen Harper was confronted by his Minister's troubled romance in the middle of a news conference with Ukrainian President Viktor Yushchenko. Was Ms. Couillard a security risk? What about the latest revelation? While President Yushchenko looked baffled by the reporter's questions, Mr. Harper's steely-eyed fury was the sure sign of a Prime Minister on the verge of snapping at the embarrassment of it all. Aware that Ms. Couillard was set to give her first television interview as a woman scorned and clearly in love with publicity, Mr. Harper stormed away from the microphone. That should've put Mr. Bernier on notice he was about to lose his status as the greatest francophone hope to become the next Conservative leader. Insiders say it's highly doubtful Mr. Bernier left of his own accord. That hardly matters. Mr. Bernier's resignation letter, as is the case with every minister, sits in the Prime Minister's desk. It can be retrieved at will and used under any pretext. There is no appeal from a prime minister who serves as judge, jury and executioner. Mr. Bernier was found guilty of following his heart more than his head and being more trouble than he's worth. In Stephen Harper's government, that's a crime worthy of capital punishment. (and at least with a Taser as well? but the leader himself had made the wrong choice now)" http://www.nationalpost.com/opinion/columnists/story.html?id=04e1f2b6-a576-4365-a46d-279eae94d67d&p=2
And Jesus never sold one Sermon of his, nor the Apostles… so I rightfully cannot stand those greedy, money lusting charlatans who clearly try to make money by selling Christian literature, tapes, music, or what ever on the subject of Prophecy, healing, etc., .. and no matter what their excuses are now too.. Jesus said as you have freely received so freely give. And that is what I have done the last 4 decades too… and so should we all, trusting in the Faith for God to supply our needs, not begging for money, or wrongfully stealing by pretending to be a non profitable tax exempt corporation, organization basically so not to pay taxes as well.. How greedy can you get and pretend it to be Christian now too is the game many wrongfully play too even pastors….
Now there is another common scam I do not like, groups, churches who often choose a valid cause, since the best way to catch fish, suckers is with live bait, and then do next do ask for related donations, money.. this advertised cause tends to be rather an inefficient self employment creation, and is not a real public services.. for to get most complaints, issues handled properly all you do generally have to do is to post it firstly on the net, and also write to the News media with copies to the elected officals
Public exposure works great.. The question I also still do rightfully have is who is next? All Ministers need to to beware…
"Keep State & Church separate, or they will intertwine and once they are merged, vice enters and corruption begins" ? "And I agree, 100% of all Churches too should be investigated as should all politicians (those who govern/lead through laws) even in regards to what, if any, "crossovers" have occurred that are violations of State law."
Some people think that Separation of Church and State politics, is the main issue that will help to stop the acts of much too many bad guys in politics and religion.. There are bad guys, bad Ministers now too continually in or out of relgion in fact.
Separation of Church and State politics, and related corruption is just a very small small portion, issue.. Rather all major perversions, corruptions by anyone, politicians, priests, pastors are, is unacceptable anywhere and at anytime too. For both politicians, Pastors and cops all civil and public servants too are here to help look after the good welfare of the citizens and if they are not doing that JOB NOW properly they all should be helped to become unemployed for sure BY THEIR CORRUPTIONS, ABUSES BEING EXPOSED TO ALL..
Religious or not is not the issue.. but the second law of engineering thermodynamics is, energy goes from a higher level to a lower level, it degenerates, meaning even water unrestrained flows downhill, or 30 percent of all people need to be put into a real jail it seems before they will stop their wrong doings and start to do good.. reality.. for self supervision or self regulation does not work, crudely it is just masturbation.. In reality too many people left on their own will continue to cheat, lies, steal, abuse others, the pastors and cops, politicians included now. They all need to be regulated, supervised by the governments and some now rightfully even arrested too. A man's enemies, bullies and thieves will be those persons even from his own family are still a reality too.
The really bad persons unless they are exposed, punished will likely never change for the good on their own in fact? Public exposure and prosecution of the guilty works best for everyone. Now I have been writing letters to news editors, governments. for that is part of their job now too, and I have helped in exposing the bad guys and the bad corporations for decades too and thus rightfully helping to get rightfully deal with some of the really unacceptable bad guys and so should we all..
Us Senator John McCain had fallen under condemnation by the news media for accepting the endorsement of Rev John Hagee . Wikipedia describes "John C. Hagee [as] the founder and senior pastor of Cornerstone Church in San Antonio, Texas, a non-denominational charismatic church with more than 19,000 active members."
Rev John Hagee clearly states that he is not anti catholic or antigay but he is Anti Semitism and he is working on behalf of Israel and this highlights his belief.. but his dispensational theology support of Israel are not substantiated by the New Testament still. God loves both Jew and Arab as well as all of the Gentiles.
The Bad Unacceptable theology – Christian Dispensationalism – Dispensationalism is basically false and it is the method of interpreting the scriptures that sees two distinct peoples of God, with two distinct destinies – Israel and the Church. It is not a coincident that too many Dispensationalists do also oppose the work of the THE HOLY SPIRIT today as well, HIS Charismatic GIFTS NOW TOO. Toni, at FilesfromToni blog has posted a very good link to vital information for those wondering where the money which is given to different Christian Zionist organizations is really going and how its NOT being used. http://filesfromtoni.blogspot.com/ http://anyonecare.wordpress.com/2008/05/23/good-and-bad-unacceptable-theology/ http://anyonecare.wordpress.com/tag/israel/
The criticism of Rev Hagee, right or wrong is just the tip of the iceberg of discontentment against too many so called Christian pastors in America. I know I pastored a church for a few years, and in the last 50 years I have encountered too many many mostly bad pastors, and 70 percent of evangelical pastors have admitted they had committed adultery and they even do counsel divorce for a start. The false misappropriation of funds in many churches in north America is so common so I had rightfully asked even the US government to investigate all of the churches- Pentecostal, Catholic, Baptist for their possible misappropriation of funds equally, annually in fact months ago too.
For a start most churches ask you to the, give ten percent of your income to the church, but tithing is also an old testament concept and not enforceable in the new testament. In the old testament the tithers, and those who received the tithers had to insure that 1/7 of the donations were given to the local poor people. So I asked any church that advocated tithe that they prove as well they have kept this Biblical requirements, for almost none do it for it start. On top of that any clergy receiving tithing in the old testament was not allowed to own any real estate , tangible property too. If you are going to preach the law here on tithing too, then you yourself should observe all of it, not just mostly steal the tithe.
It seems these days Pastors, cops, politicians, Ministers tend to be still next equally all bad if left on their own, unsupervised?

It has also been decades of my own experiences in my own rightfully complaining about unacceptable negatives that still a written letter sent to the right party works best, a letter sent to the the people who have the power to make changes, and that includes all of the news editors and the elected representatives too, for that public exposure and prosecution of the guilty persons serves everyone's best interest. I am a prolific writer who has now for decades written a wide range of social, moral, political issues but I too was surprised as to how much attention comparatively the the Bell posts are getting now. But for some reasons Bell still is not getting enough attention by the government.. They really still do not care about the citizens concerns? Only their own perks, expense accounts, etc..

http://gigaom.com/2008/04/22/shocking-new-facts-about-p2p-and-broadband-usage/
Here's an interview of Arbor Networks CTO Danny McPherson. Arbor Networks makes network management and traffic shaping tools for the ISPs so he has interesting data on bandwidth usage.
According to his interview, only 20 percent of traffic is P2P applications. During peak-load times, 70 percent of subscribers use http while 20 percent are using P2P. Http still makes up the majority of the total traffic, of which 45 percent is traditional web content that includes text and images. Streaming video and audio content from services like YouTube accounts for nearly 50 percent of the http traffic.
That would mean, from a traffic shaping point of view it's not even a that useful to bug p2p users since most of the lag is caused by youtube and it's cousins – and Bell certainly has these statistics.
>>the latest customer service mail out today from Bell: "Download movies at warp speed. Nothing is more important than speed when it comes to downloading movies and music. Don't let viruses, Trojans and worms slow down your computer. We have tips to put your PC in overdrive." as if it were viruses, Trojans and worms who were slowing down music and movie downloads…
not only is this a typical Bell misdirection, another false Bell diversion but it is a misleading Bell ploy merely to earn more money by selling more of Bell services, for Bell they really do notcare about the customer's best interest firstly but only their own… as we Bell customers all seem to know firsthand too.
>>The mainstream media doesn't even have a clue.
or they does not care to take on Bell after all CTV and the Globe &Mail they are part of Bell… speaking of monopolies, and more governmental regulations here they are now needed too.

Bell, BCE, Sympatico
You can get out of the Sympatcio Internet contract by cancelling your land line phone service? Or by telling the truth about Bell on the net.
Because even many managers in Canada, the government too are not honest, do not tell the truth, they often also do lie as to the actual reasons their product prices are going up, and/or the quality of their services are going down, thus they are still helping to put themselves out of work, out of business eventually and to be rightfully dismissed too.
Bell Sympatico complaints
Beware always of men and women, bullies, tormentors, control freaks, persons, civil and public servants, politicians, pastors, leaders, elders, Corporations who falsely do, will try to enslave you, oppress you, exploit you even while they claim they are proclaiming the truth, democracy, trying to help you, etc.,
Bell, BCE shares plunge 12% after court ruling still needs to see how it's customers do see Bell too…
Why is it that even so many managers and their subordinates too falsely believe they will not reap what they sow now, the bad things they do included?
"Bell is well over its glory days, and comparing to other operators around the world, it is a mediocre buy at that price. they have been caught sleeping at the wheel too often and not being fair to its customers too often too. They should do their homework first, build on solid 'sound' principles first and then see if somebody is willing to put money into it. For now it is simply a purchase of a skeleton out of tune with the industry and a history of burning up good Canadian talent at the expense of the shareholders, and at contempt for the bona fide user. Bell go back to your core business and do a good job and then its time will come. I am glad I own no teachers fund equity."
"I see Bell Canada as an out-of-date behemoth. I recently paid my last ever bill to Bell Canada something I vowed to do in 1999 after realizing just how bad my Bell Canada abuse their land line customers. Recently, at long last, my internet provide, a cable co. began to offer phone over cable in my area. '
Bell have two very odd charges that add up to a lot of money. And at that, they are of course taxed making it worse:1) Network Access Fee. What is this? Why do we have to pay a fee to access the service that is offered as the landline. This is simply a naked cash grab.2) Touch Tone fee of $2.80. Bell Canada's switches have been "modernized" for over 20 years where the switch circuit can equally take pulse (rotary dial) and tone dialing. Whether you operate a touchtone phone or a rotary dial, it makes absolutely no cost difference to Bell Canada. However, where about 13 M Canadian lines are paying touch-tone service, this amounts to a naked cash grab of $500M per year for Bell Canada.My Bell Canada landline was $28.69 with Bell Canada.
My Videotron cable phone is $16.95 for identical level of service.That works out to a hair under $160/year with taxes.
Over 2M Canadians now have cable based phone. Most of those were former Bell Canada customers.
I will not miss Bell Canada at all. The Ontario Teachers' Pension Fund should look very carefully at what it is that they are buying."
http://www.cbc.ca/money/story/2008/05/22/bce.html?ref=rss#articlecomments
Undeniably a lot of people hate do Bell, many past dissatisfied customers who also do undeniably also vent their anger at the government's, CRTC past poor inactions here too.
These comments above by others even do confirm what I have openly said before too that Bell has not only abused their past land line customers, and their internet customers because Bell still has much too many unacceptable poor executives, managers who do falsely abuse their customers, and Bell does try to make any false cash grabs from the customers, or rather plain old fashion thefts from the customers, that they can and much too often? I have also clearly said before too that Bell cannot be trusted. Bell needs to be fully regulated. And I have also rightly said someone should tell the Ontario school teachers' what a bad deal buying Bell is and that is now being done too.
BCE now looking to the Supreme Court for help instead of looking at itself, it's poor mangers is another absurdity or Bell threatening to sue me, cutting of my Sympatico internet for telling the truth about Bell to others too is another unacceptable absurdity now too!!
Bell has only itself to blame for all of this, not anyone else, especially not the users, customers.
Just a reminder. There are many basic reasons for a Corporation's downfall. Besides having selected bad, over paid or underpaid executives, managers, employees firstly there is the management style itself., which can include theft and/or abusing the customers too, over pricing too. Now I am not alone, just one of many in these observations too. A firms starts to abuse the customers. so it's sales volume and profitability reduces, so to compensate they often do a false survey, generally false cause they have no intention of facing up to their own negative contributions, basic truths, and/or the blame it on others, unions, interest rates, banks, courts even.. sound recently familiar? So what do they generally do, well they tighter their belts, get rid of some of the employees, the fish begins to rots from the head, but they tend to cut of the tail first, and it still really does not help. So the bad Corporation managers they tighten the belt some more, they now offer less services to the customers, and increase the pricing too? Sound familiar? Look at how Bell Sympatico had responded to their competitors, their internet services this year and the significant negative feedback, reaction they got too from their customers. The fact that Bell Sympatico, and Rogers too now in the last year have been the most hated, the most negatively discussed topic, corporations on Canada's internet is undeniable too. Just also look at Bell's higher pricing over the competition, and it now still also explains why Bell is at war also with it's competitors and not just the customers too, and why Bell has undeniably so many dissatisfied customers now too. So the Corporations common solution of jacking up the prices, cutting back on the customer services of course predictably next it even leads to a more dramatic economic loss, loss of their customers, and do you really think they amongst many others executive managers would learn from any of this? Management still had to cut off it's own head, the bad exemplary executive managers? The Corporation next had kept on on tightening the belt so much that they next choked themselves to death, have come to an irreversible place. All simple too. I have seen the same thing been done by computer resellers, and also by large grocery corporations, such as Super C, Provigo, some managers still never do learn from their mistakes and the whole firm suffers for it, especially next the shareholders.
Bell Sympatico next as per the last letter to me, contrary to my rightful objection is falsely going to disconnect my internet services with them as of May 31, 2008 to try to shut me up, they are going to breach my contract with me, and Jim Prentice, Consumer Affairs, did, do not help in these matters to date. I got a useless reply from the federal consumer's office too before , even from Dussault.Madeleine@cb-bc.gc.ca, like I had said they did not do much good in these matters too to date. How many more citizens will have to wrongfully suffer because of the detail, witnessed Bell's immoral management before the federal consumer affairs department and CRTC deals with it all adequately and fully now too?

2005 Chicago Auto Show: 2006 Buick Lucerne Gallery
The first Buick car in more than a decade!
MotorTrend StaffwritersThe Manufacturersphotographers
While Buick has traditionally appealed to older buyers, this future of this GM division walks a fine line between progressing the brand to attract new customers, while not alienating their existing clientele. The 2005 LaCrosse replaced the Regal, and for 2006 a new entry-level luxury sedan will replace the old LeSabre. Sleek and athletic, the Lucerne will also be the first Buick car in more than a decade to be available with a V-8. Three trim levels will be offered: CX, CXL, and CXS. Standard power will be the familiar 3.8-liter/195-horsepower V-6. Optional on the CXL and standard on the topline CXS will be a 4.6-liter/275-horse V-8. Four-speed automatics drive the front wheels and should have a combined city/highway economy of 23 to 25 miles per gallon. Lucerne will be the first Buick to offer GM's Magnetic Ride Control paired with StabiliTrack, both of which were originally Cadillac features. Inside and out, Buick promises the Lucerne will have fit and finish on par with high-end luxury vehicles. Inside, the Lucerne will offer both five- and six-passenger seating configurations. Passenger room is said to be among the best in this competitive set, which includes the Toyota Avalon XLS and Lexus ES 330. Upscale touches include wood and chrome finishes, and French seams and stitching. Six airbags are standard. The 2006 Buick Lucerne is expected to be on sale this fall, with exact pricing yet to be announced.

Injured WWE Superstar Returning Soon?, WWE Hall Of Famer Knocks WWE's Use Of EC3, WWE NXT Matches - Wrestling Inc.
- Above is a new live WWE Now video with Kayla Braxton and Cathy Kelley looking at the 2019 WWE Superstar Shakeup as we go into the end of it on tonight's SmackDown. Braxton noted that there have been rumors of Akam returning from his leg injury soon. She speculated on The Authors of Pain possibly being moved to SmackDown from RAW when Akam is ready to return. It was reported that Akam would be out of action for "at least a few months" when he went down with the leg injury in January.
- Buddy Murphy vs. WWE NXT North American Champion The Velveteen Dream has been confirmed for Wednesday's NXT episode on the WWE Network. It was also announced that new NXT Champion Johnny Gargano will make his Full Sail return on this episode. As noted, Kairi Sane vs. NXT Women's Champion Shayna Baszler will also air and if Baszler wins, Sane no longer gets any title shots.
Bully wrote, "IMO... Whats the point of bringing up EC3 only to destroy him from day 1 on main roster?? Should have been left to thrive in NXT until right time."

Microsoft has released Adobe's patch for a critical flaw in Flash Player that suspected North Korean hackers have exploited in malicious Excel sheets.
Researchers at Cisco Talos said hackers known as Group 123 were using the zero-day Flash flaw and Excel sheets to deliver the ROKRAT remote-administration tool.
The use-after-free vulnerability in Flash allowed attackers to gain remote code execution on Windows, macOS, Linux, and Chrome OS, Adobe warned last week after South Korea's CERT said it had observed a Flash exploit for the CVE-2018-4878 being used in the wild.
Adobe said after that it was developing the patch over the coming week, which it released on Tuesday.
Adobe's update shuts down this avenue for gaining remote code execution on Windows, macOS, Linux, and Chrome OS, and bumps up the current version of Flash Player to 28.0.0.161.
Since Microsoft is responsible for updating Flash player in Internet Explorer and Edge, the company notes that its "out-of-band February 6 security release consists of security updates for Adobe Flash".
Cisco Talos researchers have set out the exploit workflow used for the Adobe Flash zero-day.
Cisco researchers found Group 123's Excel sheets contained an ActiveX object that was a malicious Flash file that downloaded ROKRAT from a compromised web server.
Notably, it was the first time this group has been seen using a zero-day exploit, suggesting the targets were carefully selected and high value.
FireEye, which calls Group 123 TEMP.Reaper, said it had observed the group interacting with their command-and-control infrastructure from North Korean IP addresses. Most of the group's targets were South Korean government, military and defense industry organizations, it said.
Adobe also patched a second use-after-free vulnerability that that could allow for remote code execution.
Flash Player installed with Chrome, Edge and Internet Explorer 11 will be updated to the latest version automatically.
Flash Player, once a favorite target for exploit kits, will reach end-of-life in December 2020 as the industry moves towards HTML5. Microsoft and Google plan to have dropped support for Flash before then.

Preview Picks: 'Derry Girls,' Tanya Tucker
Our critics' choices for entertainment this week.
Houston Chronicle Contributor	March 25, 2020Updated: March 26, 2020, 9:53 am
"Derry Girls" is available on Netflix.

1. 'Song Exploder'
"Song Exploder" is by no measure a new podcast, as Hrishikesh Hirway launched it nearly six years ago. But the podcast continues to offer bounty as Hirway — and for a while, his stand-in Thao Nguyen — let musicians break down their songs with enlightening commentary about the lyrics and themes and also the sounds. A January episode looked back more than 20 years to Semisonic's unavoidable "Closing Time," offering a behind-the-scenes look at the thematic content that nearly brought me to tears. The podcast has so much to offer that its scroll can be imposing. I recommend checking out episodes about songs you love first. Some of my favorites include Lindsey Buckingham breaking down Fleetwood Mac's "Go Your Own Way," Liz Phair talking about her "Divorce Song" and — a song with a Houston connection — John Roderick talking about the space shuttle Columbia and how that tragedy led to "The Commander Thinks Aloud." But the songs I don't know frequently provide engaging commentary, too.

2. "Derry Girls"
This, like plenty of other shows these days, falls into the category of not-new-but-discovered-while-homebound. It tracks four teenage girls (and an unwelcome English cousin, James) in Derry, Northern Ireland, amid the troubles in the 1990s. It's heartfelt and nasty and funny. Creator Lisa McGee shows a genuine gift for balancing tone and theme that aren't easily calibrated to work together. Two seasons are available, and both are short, so it's easy to consume before Season 3 begins this year. Claims about miracles — like weeping statues — will never be the same after this show.
Where: Streaming on Netflix
3. Ally Brooke
Ally Brooke, San Antonio native and former Fifth Harmony member, was supposed to perform Saturday at House of Blues as part of her Time to Shine Tour. Instead, check out her string of snappy dance-pop singles, including "Fabulous," "All Night" with Afrojack and "No Good." Added bonus: Stream Fifth Harmony's 2016 hit "Work From Home," which has gone viral because of employer's orders to stay out of the office.
Where: All digital platforms
Joey Guerra
4. Jessie Reyez
Jessie Reyez finally releases her full-length debut, "Before Love Came to Kill Us." But she's been releasing music for several years. The Canadian performer has released two EPs, several singles and collaborated with Normani and Karol G. Also this week, new music from 5 Seconds of Summer, Lukas Nelson and a vinyl reissue of Paris Hilton's not bad pop album.
5. Tanya Tucker
Tanya Tucker had a sold-out show scheduled for Sunday at The Heights Theater. But since you're stuck at home, and if you haven't already, do yourself a favor and check out her stunning "While I'm Livin.'" It's captivating from start to finish, thanks to Tucker's world-weary voice and Brandi Carlile's gorgeous production. Click over to YouTube to see their Grammy performance of single "Bring My Flowers Now."
