Acronis True Image free for Maxtor, Seagate users
"Acronis can be obtained free if you have a Maxtor or Seagate hard drive.”
The important thing to note, however, is that both utilities are based on an OEM version of Acronis's well-regarded True Image backup application. According to the Inquirer's report, both free utilities support the creation of disk images, partitions, the cloning and formatting of disks, and more.
Inquirer's report:
One of the best HDD utilities is free

Seagate provides Two free downloadable utilities at the following links:

Are you a victim of Webcam Spying?
If you do not have a Firewall on your wireless router or computer operating system,
you may be a potential victim of Webcam Spying.
Some articles about Webcam Spying (Yes, it can and does really happen !):

How do they do it? Here's an example;

A good defense is a Firewall either installed on your Computer or Wireless Router, preferably both. If you do not currently have a Firewall program other than the MS-Windows Firewall that came with your operating system, you may want to check into one of the good free firewalls at this link;) (Don't forget Anti-Virus/Spam Protection)

What can you do to see if you are a potential victim? Have your Ports checked by this ShieldsUP website:

Finally, you can either unplug the Webcam if not in use, or if it's built in, just place black tape over the lens. When not using the computer, you can shut off the power.

[ComSoc News] MagicJack presentation/demo
by MrDonK!

 Hello all,
Jack Berlin is going to be out of town for the November General Meeting and I was thinking about trying to do a presentation and/or demonstration on MagicJack. This is the dongle VOIP real telephone connection that can be used on a PC or Mac with most any broadband connection.
I don't have one of these yet, but I am thinking about getting one soon and thought it might be interesting to show or demo at the meeting. Not sure if it will work for sure through the UB wi-fi system but I am sure we could at least try it out. Another possibility would be to connect to the internet using a Cellular wireless data card and hookup that way.
Does anyone have any opinions on this idea???
