i think its his daughter mrs.moomoocow (lets call her) is downloading all sorts of adware and viruses like that stupid blockchecker thing that goes around

:angry: i hate people like this, they just need to teach their children stuff about it, like i taught my little brother, now at least he doesn't get viruses (after i cleaned it of 20,000 trojans)

:laugh:

MSN messenger is not hard to remove (the classic add/remove programs, and you're done). But Windows Messenger is another thing. I myself am aware that it's runnin somewhere, because when I used messenger in media center (just to try it), I found that damn thing was opened. No icon anywhere.

I remember you had to modify some system policy to prevent it from opening at boot.

If I had to choose our "no news" problems or their "crappy news" problems, I'd stick with nothing. The author comes across as an arrogant moron. BTW, is it still cool to call Microsoft "the Vole"?

Every time I read an article from the reg I always start thinking "what on earth...?" then I read "The Vole" and think "Ahhh, The Reg. No wonder."

Another day....another poorly written and inaccurate inquirer "news" article.

Edit: And written by Paul Hales, sacked from PC Pro I believe and had the cheek to write a stupid article at the inquirer about us "stealing" news when he didn't realise we actually source articles. What a retard.

I second that, I was expecting to read a very interesting article. I should know better by now.

any program that accepts incoming connections can be malware infested so quick, when you don't know what your doing.

this guy needs to learn how to use the program before bashing it. there is an options menu in almost every single program for a reason. he should learn how to use it.

    • Get $50 of aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler eSim credit for just $24.97

      By News Staff · Posted

      Get $50 of aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler eSim credit for just $24.97 by Steven Parker Today's highlighted deal comes via our Apps + Software section of the Neowin Deals store, where you can save 50% off aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler Lifetime eSim Credit: Pay $24.97 for $50. Stay connected affordably in 120+ countries/regions with your own lifetime eSIM! An eSIM is a digital SIM card. It's basically just mobile data. Once it's activated on your device, it can connect you to data networks in other countries – giving you an internet connection with NO roaming charges. With aloSIM, you can load prepaid eSIM data packages onto your phone, tablet, or computer. Your lifetime eSIM never expires, so it's yours forever and there are never any monthly charges. You'll get $50 in eSIM data credit, which is almost always enough to cover all your data roaming needs for a full year. But if you run out of data, you can always top up your lifetime eSIM and stay connected internationally. Pay $24.97 for a lifetime eSIM with $50 in travel data credit Use your eSIM to join data networks in 120+ countries Install your lifetime eSIM on a compatible device to roam on local data networks Your lifetime eSIM never expires, and can be topped up with more data anytime Many data packages cost as little as $4.50 and last 7 days. Depending on the package you choose, the length of time varies. Good to know Length of access: lifetime For NEW customers only Instant digital redemption Once you add your $50 credit to your aloSim account you have up to 12-months to use it — after that your credit will expire When you pay for a data plan you also get a free phone number (via Hushed) for the same duration of your plan that was purchased - IE 7 day eSim plan gives you a free 7-day phone number Purchased coupon must be redeemed and used within 12 months This deal is not stackable (one offer per aloSIM account) A $4.50 data package will last 7 days The data DOES expire, and you WILL NOT have any leftover data for your next trip unless it takes place within the validity period. While the eSIM never expires, the actual data package is only valid for the length of time stated at purchase (i.e. seven days after activation, 30 days after activation, etc.) So if you buy a seven-day package and only use a tiny bit, that package is still going to expire after seven days. Access options: mobile (check compatibility) Max number of device(s): 1 Updates included Here's the deal: This aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler eSim $50 Credit normally costs ... $50, but it can be yours for just $24.97 for a limited time, a saving of $25 (50% off).

Get this aloSIM Mobile Data Traveler eSim for just $24.97 (was $50) Although priced in U.S. dollars, this deal is available for digital purchase worldwide.

      WordArt was cool. We now have color fonts as a substitute although Word only supports COLRv0 and COLRv1 (Fraud OS 11 only). The OpenType SVG color font format needs to be supported by Office. Adobe's apps support it
