Terrafugia TF-X: The Real Flying Car

Terrafugia, the Woburn, MA, company developing the Transition flying car, has plans for a vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) sibling. The proposed Terrafugia TF-X would be a tilt-rotor flying machine that would take off and land like a helicopter. Instead of a runway, the TF-X could use a helipad or parking lot. That’s important because Terrafugia’s devices aren’t so much flying cars as roadable aircraft that take you from the airport to your destination a few miles away. The closer you land to your destination, the better. Don’t sell your Cessna 400 just yet. The flying car is a decade away and will likely cost on the high side of a half-million dollars. Maybe a million.

Fix: Unable to turn on Windows Defender in Windows 7 | 8

Unable to turn on Windows Defender

Scenario 1:

On of the most common behavior of Windows Defender is that if it detects a third-party antivirus software, then Windows Defender will shut itself off. Windows is designed to detect the presence of security software installed, and we often we get to see the notification in the Action Center. One of the common issues we have seen in the past, is when there are multiple security software installed.

Five safety tips for using a public computer

Public computers in libraries, Internet cafes, airports, and copy shops can be safe if you follow a few simple rules when you use them.

Read these tips to help keep your work, personal, or financial information private.

• Don't save your logon information

  Always log out of websites by clicking "log out" on the site. It's not enough to simply close the browser window or type in another address.
  Many programs (especially social networking websites, web mail, and instant messenger programs) include automatic login features that will save your user name and password. Disable this option so no one can log in as you.

• Don't leave the computer unattended with sensitive information on the screen

  If you have to leave the public computer, log out of all programs and close all windows that might display sensitive information.

The downloaded file retains the same name but is appended with “smallpdf.com” in parenthesis so it is readily identifiable from the original. As you can see from the screenshot the new file is 9.49MB, a 36% reduction in size amounting to 5.5MB.

The site states that the scanned files are reduced to 144dpi, I compared the original and compressed PDFs side by side and yes, there is a little degradation in display clarity, certainly not significant enough to matter in most cases. Formatting, images, links, everything was rendered identical to the original.

What is a Antivirus False Positive?

A false positive, also known as a false detection or false alarm, occurs when an antivirus program detects a known virus string in an uninfected file. The file, while not infected with an actual virus, does contain a string of characters that matches a string from an actual virus.

A false positive can also occur when a program performs an action, which appears to the antivirus program to be a virus-like activity.

Norton AntiVirus and Symantec AntiVirus Corporate Edition use Bloodhound heuristics to detect virus-like activity.

Examples of such activity can include, but are not limited to, writing to the master boot record of the hard disk, making changes to a system file, or running a custom macro in a program such as Microsoft Word.

False detections, once confirmed, are usually corrected as soon as possible

Avira Secure Backup: A Free Online Backup Solution

Avira is very popular for their security software. A lots of people use their free antivirus software and some 3rd-party vendors even use the Avira Security engine as their backend. They have very low false positive rate and a very good detection rate. They have established a name in the market as a good security software company. They have started a new service called Avira Secure Backup.

Avira Secure Backup service offers free online backup up to 5GB. For additional storage space you need to purchase their service, however. I didn’t find much difference between Avira Secure Backup and other online backup services. The main point in its favor is that Avira Secure Backup supports large file transfers up to 3 GB. I don’t think many other services offer backups of such large file. By default the setting is set to back up 200 MB, but if you download and install the Windows Desktop client, then go into Settings and click Advance - there you should be able to increase the size.
