SSL VPN vs. IPSec VPN

A SSL VPN does not require the installation of specialized client software on the end user's computer.

As opposed to a traditional Internet Protocol Security IPsec VPN

An SSL Tunnel VPN can also be used to increase the level of security in both the IPSec and the SSL VPN implementations.

However, the access of a remote service that is restricted in your geographic area will not be possible through this sort of VPN Login and access will be made via your regular IP address by accessing an https:// web address (URL)

The presence of mickey32.dll on your computer

Xupiter.Orbitexplorer - A Browser Hijacker


If you are (or have been in the past) infected with Xupiter.Orbitexplorer then you will have entries in your Windows Registry.

The presence of mickey32.dll on your computer DOES NOT NECESSARILY MEAN THAT YOU  ARE INFECTED WITH Xupiter.Orbitexplorer!

Please see my page: "removing mickey32.dll - the file (NOT THE INFECTION!)"

VNCViewer for Windows (Free Edition) and VNCViewer Free Edition for OSX

The normal way I use VNC is from a Windows 7 computer - this can be seen on the main page for the configuration of the website in my basement.

Relative Risks of Torrenting

The question is: "Is there as much risk in getting a DMCA type of violation letter when you download old TV series to the same degree as you do when you download movies?" - "Surely they are both copyrighted material, but do the owners of the TV programs really care that viewers are sharing and catching up on old shows? However, allowing you to download old shows promotes the currently aired ones?"

The answer to the question about how much risk depends on where you live and what you are downloading. For example, downloading a current or recent Hollywood movie is far more likely to trigger a Copyright holding to start proceeding against you than say a re-run of "Big Love". It also depends on what measures you are taking to avoid detection.
