> How to remove "Error Reporting in XP"


If error reporting in XP is bugging you then turn it off.
When a system error occurs in XP, a little dialog box appears asking if you want to report the error to Microsoft. Click the message box to make it disappear. You don't have to report the error if you don't want to and on today's "Call for Help" Leo shows you how to turn off the feature if you find it distracting.

To disable error reporting, follow these directions:

1. Right-click My Computer and choose Properties.
2. Click the Advanced tab on your System Properties dialog box.
3. Click the Error Reporting button on the Advanced tab.
4. Place a checkmark next to "Disable error reporting."
5. Leave the other radio button unchecked next to the text labeled, "But notify me when critical errors occur."
6. Click OK.

> Phishing - Definition and Descriptions

Phishing - It's NOT what's for dinner. This PH version of one of America's favorite pass time is anything but fun or relaxing. Phishing scams have become one of the greatest threats to your online security.

Phishing is a type of scam that uses "spoofed" e-mails, popups, and fake cloned websites that are all designed to trick you into revealing your personal and confidential information. The information that is most often sought after by phishers is your banking information. Information such as your financial institutions, your banking account numbers and other information such as usernames, passwords, or PIN numbers. Your credit card numbers, social security number, drivers license, and any other form of personal identification are also sought after.

According to the Anti-Phishing Working Group (APWG), phishing attacks increased by 180 percent between April and May 2004, demonstrating that cyber-crooks are rapidly turning to this kind of fraud device.
