Press Release Pad

Number of Known Computer Viruses Exceeds 1 Million

trustport — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 15:16:51 +0000

Did you know that in 2008, it was estimated the number of known computer viruses stood in excess of 1 million, an increase of 468 per cent on the previous year?

This didn’t include viruses that are not officially known or are ‘in-the-wild’. Figures suggest at least five malware samples emerge on the Internet every two minutes and 15 to 20 new Trojans are released every half an hour.

Virus protection is no longer an after-thought. It is a necessity. Criminal organisations have bought into the production and sale of viruses for illegal means with networks making available virus ‘supermarkets’ or virus ‘ebays’ on the web. No longer the domain of computer programmers, or ‘script kiddies’ who would design a virus as a hoax, viruses today are big business.

Today, in 2010, the internet is rife with identity fraud through email phishing and web scripts – an industry which is growing at an alarming rate. Many of these viruses use the absolute latest technology to negate your antivirus software and infiltrate your PC, to steal your confidential information, or to use it for malicious means. Virus creation and its detection is no longer a game. The stakes are high, and what is up for grabs is your PC and big $.

You may also not know that for several years now, TrustPort Antivirus, using the latest anti-viral technology, has proven to be the most effective deterent against viruses, malware, and spyware, according to VB bulletin & AV-Comparatives (two highly respected independent testing laboratories).

Unlike other regular ‘single-engine’ antivirus software, TrustPort uses ‘multi-engine’ scanning software. As one engine scans deep into your system for viruses, the other also examines the code deep within your system to detect viruses that are engineered to hide from regular ‘single-engine’ antivirus programs, ie when the virus files are disseminated and at their most vulnerable state. No other antivirus has this ability.

According to Kaspersky (a well known ‘single-engine’ antivirus company), most antivirus programs are fighting a losing battle. Criminal organisations that design and sell their malware are becoming more prevalent and most antivirus programs are struggling against the onslaught on both individual computers and networks. According to the article, “The virus writers are now so good at beating the AV products that the game is falling to the side of the criminals.” The internet today is no longer the domain of home users that simply want to use it for legitimate purposes.

In April 2010, a record number of sixty antivirus products was submitted for the April tests of Virus Bulletin. During on-demand testing, TrustPort Antivirus detected 100% of in-the-wild viruses, 99.94% of worms, 100% of polymorphic viruses, and 99.81% of trojans. TrustPort Antivirus scored better than any competing product. “All three reactive weeks of the reactive and proactive sets were treated with disdain, and even the proactive week presented few difficulties,” comments John Hawes from Virus Bulletin on the results of TrustPort Antivirus. The average reactive detection of the product reached 97.17%, proactive detection 79.66%. On the overall average of both reactive and proactive methods, TrustPort Antivirus successfully detected 92.79% of the submitted malware. Detection levels that high are a result of sophisticated antivirus technology, based on multiple scanning engines.

Did you know that just 1 virus not detected by your current antivirus may cause your computer not to start? Does your current antivirus offer a detection rate comparable to TrustPort? If your current antivirus isn’t providing you with the protection you need, why risk it?

TrustPort is the world’s No.1 in antivirus protection. Our software can protect you against the latest viruses and at a fraction of the cost of other software programs.

Internet Marketing Forum Article Writing

mfleischner — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 15:08:09 +0000

The process of article writing is simple. Develop unique content for your particular audience and distribute that content in a way that improves your exposure and drives traffic back to your site. However, this process does take time and can be difficult for some. To succeed, you must know what type of content to create and how to distribute that content. The good news is that there are plenty of tools available to help automate this process for you.

The first thing article creation software can help you with is understanding the importance of appealing to your target market. You do not want to write an article that will appeal to anybody and everybody. Focus on a particular audience that you want to submit your articles to. This will make it much easier to convert visitors into paying customers.

After writing your article, consider the appropriate category the article belongs to. When creating content for a specific audience, you want that content to appear before the right individuals who will benefit from and act upon the content. Choose your category carefully because it could make the difference between low and high conversion rates.

A number of different article submission software comes with spell check which can be a lifesaver. No matter how good your ideas are, they mean nothing if you do not execute them properly with correct spelling and proper grammar. Having software that ensures quality standards are being met can be extremely beneficial.

After creating your article, use article submission software to automate the submission process. This is important because manual article submission can take a very long time and prove less effective. The key is to make sure your article is keyword rich and that you’ve included your affiliate link, or link back to your website in the about the author section. Article writing software can lead you through this process quickly and easily.

The final feature of article writing software, as noted on the internet marketing forum, is that it can provide image verification. Essentially, when submitting to directories, users are often asked to verify an image or code. To submit your article, this code must be entered. The proper piece of software can do this for you, speeding up the submission process and avoiding any obstacles you may encounter.

Article writing is very effective for improving a web site’s search engine ranking and generating traffic. Those who are effective at article marketing and marketing forum know how to create powerful articles, how to complete directory submission forms, and categorizing their content effectively. These are just a few of the many ways you can benefit from article creation software which can lead you through the article marketing process.

Positive Attitude Critical in Uncertain Economy

thomlane — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 06:10:48 +0000

According to recent comments by the Federal Reserve, the economic outlook remains “unusually uncertain,” and the prospect of any significant change in the next few months seems unlikely.

Unemployment remains in the ten percent range, and few businesses have announced intentions to increase hiring. While unemployment benefits have been extended, it has had little overall effect on the economy.

So what can people do who are either unemployed or in uncertain vocations? There is certainly no panacea; no magic wand to wave over such situations, for each one is unique. However, there is one thing that everyone, regardless of present financial situation can do; take control of their attitude. With the financial challenges facing many today, choosing the right attitude is like having an original map of a minefield; it can save your life.

Businesses today are looking for people who will provide positive influence and inspiration to their co-workers. Simply ‘doing your job’ is not going to provide the long-term security most people are seeking. In a rapidly changing world, developing a new attitude can be every bit as important as acquiring a new skill.

A lifestyle attitude, the prevailing attitude that people approach each day with, can be changed. People can learn to be positive and to respond (stop and think) rather than simply react, even in the most difficult situations. People with positive attitudes tend to attract the same; an ever-expanding network of positive energy, while those whose attitudes are primarily negative tend to attract the same; more negativity.

Mixing passion with a positive attitude can produce a potent result, one that can blast through any obstacle or wall. The problem most people have is that they are ‘locked in’ to their current thinking. Much of this has to do with how they were raised, perceived set-backs and disappointments, and reluctance to change, which often involves risk.

A new website, CertainAbundantLife.com, has been created to meet these challenges head-on, and to provide inspiration and hope to those who are tired of ‘just getting by’. The company’s slogan is: “When just getting by is getting old.”

CertainAbundantLife.com is currently offering a 7-day e-course which promises to “teach people how to change their thinking and begin embracing the notion that they were created for abundance; a life lived to the max!”

The best part is that the training is currently being offered for free. So, instead of taking that typing class or trading in your business suit for greasy overalls, maybe devoting a portion of the next week to work on creating a new attitude would be time well-spent.

Anyone can enroll in the free e-course by visiting www.CertainAbundantLife.com/training.

Unique Cosmetic Packaging Helps Launch New Products

iMajestic — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 06:01:38 +0000

Getting a new cosmetic product to jump off the shelf means the container has to grab the consumer’s attention but can’t be expensive to produce.

Azusa, CA – There are thousands of cosmetic products on the market today, each with something to offer the consumer. Considering that, for the most part, many cosmetic lines use similar ingredients, the key to moving high numbers of products comes down to the look, feel and functionality of the cosmetic product container.

Visual stimulation while cruising down the aisle prompts inspection which then leads the consumer taking the cosmetic product off the shelf to check it out. Especially true for female buyers, how a cosmetic product “feels” in their hand is the next step in the purchasing process. Touch sensations can inspire a comforting emotion or a negative one depending upon the way the cosmetic packaging is designed and manufactured. Cosmetic packaging the employs smooth glass jars or soft plastics that feel good to the touch have a much better chance of ending up in the shopping cart as opposed to back on the shelf.

Aside from what’s inside the container which usually means a quick sniff for pleasing fragrances or no fragrances, functionality is the next test in the cosmetic packaging decision. Once the buyer has noticed the product and taken it off the shelf to gauge the weight and feel in the hand, a quick check on how the product is used comes next. Cosmetic packaging that hold creams and lotions usually come in glass jars, tubes, plastic bottles and more they all have something in common; they should be easy to hold, open and use. Liquids like perfumes or spray moisturizers get even fancier cosmetic packaging with either pump sprays, atomizers or specially created glass bottles with little holes that allow just a dab or two of the aromatic fluid to touch the finger and be applied to the areas of choice.

One of the most experienced cosmetic packaging designers and manufacturers in the industry today is Arminak & Associates. Winner of the 2010 Diverse Packager of the Year Award from Limited Brands, Arminak & Associates have been designing and manufacturing cosmetic packaging for some of the industry’s biggest names while continuing to help new brands get their start by offering creative designs at cost-effective prices.

Deck Cleaning and Sealing Kerr Lake Technician Clears Up Myth About Pressure Treated Wood

rmmaupinjr — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 05:56:19 +0000

Kerr Lake, VA – Deck cleaning and sealing is very important for all exterior wood structures. Consumers who believe deck cleaning and sealing is not necessary for surfaces built from pressure treated wood are sadly mistaken. Keith Quinn, owner of Wood Re New, deck cleaning and sealing specialist, explains why pressure treated wood needs regular maintenance.

“Many consumers are under the impression that pressure-treated wood can withstand the harsh elements of Mother Nature,” said Quinn. “According to the American Wood Protection Association, our region is located in a high wood deterioration zone.”

When asked why wood is pressure treated, Quinn explained, “Chemical preservatives that are used to pressure treat wood react with the wood fibers to make them resistant to insects, decay, fungus and marine borers, but not the weather. Wood shrinks as it dries and swells at it gains moisture. The wetting and drying cycle raises the grain of the wood, resulting in a rough surface. Eventually this leads to cracking and cupping, increasing the uptake of water and accelerating the degradation process.”

Exterior wood restoration experts at Wood Re New distinguish themselves from their competition with their own unique two-step deck cleaning and sealing process. They begin by cleaning the wood with their exclusive foam cleaner that is so effective it allows them to use lower pressure to avoid damage to the wood. The second step is to apply a penetrating protectant that repels moisture and protects from UV rays.

Keith Quinn guarantees his services will exceed customer satisfaction. The UV protection and water repellent in Wood Re New’s exclusive wood cleaning and sealing products shield the surface form the harsh exterior elements.

Technicians with Wood Re New recommend sealing and protecting all wood surfaces. Wood Re New restores and protects all exterior wood investments, using environmentally safe and highly effective products. Visit http://www.woodrenew.com/henderson/index.html to learn more.

School Districts Join ECCO2 Program to Fight War on Carbon Emissions Reduction in America

robertnero — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 05:25:21 +0000

July 22, 2010 – Austin, TX - Over 90 independent school districts throughout the United States have joined ECCO2′s war on carbon emissions reduction by using the ECCO2 and ECO systems patent technology on their school buses and fossil fuel boilers within their facilities.

Currently, there are over 12,000 school buses that have been using the ECCO2 and ECO systems products for the last 7 years. The ECO Systems device results include reduction of carbon emissions by as much as 90%, (according to municipal emissions reports) and better fuel economy by as much as 10%.

The ECCO2 program makes it possible for each school district to receive and install the ECCO2 product in every school vehicle and facility now that funding opportunities through grant and rebate programs offered by ECCO2 are becoming available.

Cary Lee Peterson, President of Fuel Concepts Pty Limited and DBS Distributors, Inc. comments, “I feel very honored to be able to say ECCO2 is helping schools whom play a substantial role in educating and nurturing our youth. We achieve several matters with ECCO2; We lower the amount of harmful greenhouse gases that our children are exposed to; Secondly, we reduce the amount of fuel consumption. This allows for the extra money saved to go back into the school districts’ budgets. I would encourage other school districts to join the ECCO2 Program in our war on carbon. We currently have a handful of school districts already participating, however my target would be to have at least 1,000 school districts active with ECCO2 by the end of 2012.”

The current school districts participating in the ECCO2 Program will contribute to over 40 million metric tons of carbon emission offsets (equivalent to 40 million carbon credits with current market value of an estimated $1 billion) through 2020. This will create over 1200 direct and indirect jobs related ECCO2 Program and Texas independent school districts. ECCO2 anticipates to influence more school districts to “Go Green” and follow the active school districts that have already been participating in the ECCO2 Program.

About ECCO2 Program

Fuel Concepts Pty Limited and DBS Distributors, Inc. are worldwide distributors of the ECCO2 and ECO Systems product line. The company’s patent technologies have been used by various government and commercial fleet agencies over the past 9 years, thus reducing greenhouse gases output by motor vehicles and fossil fuel generators all over the world. ECCO2 (Environmental Control of Carbon Dioxide) Project was launched in July of 2010 as a multi-billion investment plan with various banks and private investors with interests to develop and trade over 400 million carbon emission offset futures through use of ECCO2 and ECO Systems products from 2010 through 2020.

The Top 6 Responsible Travel Holidays

saffsam — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 05:18:48 +0000

UK based Ecotourism Holidays is offering a well-researched guide to the top 6 ecotourism destinations in the world today. The website is packed with information on the 6 most popular eco countries to visit and what to do when you get there. The guides take into account the different types of traveler and so there is something mentioned for everyone, from young singles to large families. The information includes images and video as well as some great resources.

Ecotourism Holidays is a site that provides information about the latest trends in the responsible travel industry. It has been bringing information to the public since 2008 and most importantly educates the user about the places it features. “Responsible travel tours abroad..the experience is everything,” company director A Samuel states. “Whether it is meeting hill tribes in Vietnam to seeing the Emperor Penguins off Chile, you will come back with great memories”.

Eco highlights – A visit to the Orang Utan sanctuary in northeastern Borneo is a great example of going to a place of natural beauty, helping local people as well as helping conserve the rehabilitation of this threatened species. Sailing to the Galapagos Islands on a yacht is a more eco friendly way to travel than flying there. Once you reach this secluded archipelago, you can see an abundance of rare wildlife, many of which are endemic to the islands. Marine Iguanas are a must see as well as the puffed chested Frigate birds. Finally a junk boat tour in Halong Bay in Vietnam ticks the eco boxes. It is the only way to really see the ancient limestone stacks that rise majestically out of the water and the view is constantly changing. Local people thrive from tourism and so it is a great way to invest in their local economy.

The website has had a make over since its inception 2 years ago and now includes a more focused in-depth look at eco friendly holidays. The website is now more user friendly and easy to use. 6 destinations were chosen based on their ability to tick a number of eco boxes including; helping the well-being of local people and minimising impact or conserving the environment. Teaching and volunteering trips are available in all the countries chosen.

The website has plans to expand the ecotourism destinations to a top 10 countries list as well as the most popular types of holiday, which will include walking, cycling, adventure and family holidays. User input including the ability for travelers to post information about their favourite eco tours will feature heavily in the next phase of the websites growth.

Consumer Alert: Counterfeit Water Filters

chris1974 — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 05:14:07 +0000

Counterfeit water filters being sold online to unsuspecting consumers.

Quality Water Filters 4 You (www.qualitywaterfilters4you.com) has launched a new article archive to help consumers learn more about water filters. This article base covers all aspects of drinking water and the hazards associated with drinking contaminated water.

As part of their public campaign to inform consumers of the potential hazards associated with unsafe drinking water, the site is also seeking to inform consumers about bogus or counterfeit water filters.

Counterfeit water filters often come from overseas companies pretending to be well-known water filter vendors. These bogus companies will set up websites that look legitimate and offer products that are well-known to the general public. Unlike online scams that take your money and send you nothing, these companies will actually send you a product in the mail. The problem is these products are not made by the parent (or named company) and are almost always of lesser quality and effectiveness in filtering out contaminants found in drinking water. In many cases, the water filter cartridges or filtering media is composed of sub-standard materials that do not perform as advertised.

Consumers using these bogus products believe they are drinking water that is safe and clean, but that is often not the case.

Quality Water Filters 4 You is committed to helping consumers get the true facts and reliable water filters they desire and deserve. The website offers free access to an in-depth and comprehensive library of articles

luckymetal — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 05:07:23 +0000

Recent reviews have shown that prices of key metals are lowered globally; as a result, there is increase in the usage of aluminum and other metals in many industries. Manufacturers are happy to hear about decreasing rates of metals but at the same time quality of metals matter. This is great news for metal suppliers in different parts of the world.

Landscaping is Important in Green Development

loknath — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 04:53:45 +0000

Anirban Banerjee has said that one of the most obvious considerations would be landscaping a green development. “But few considerations at the landscaping design stage would make a project greener than the average green,” he added.

In a press release , Mr Banerjee said, “One should try to use native or adapted trees and plants on the roof. This type of greenery absorbs heat, helping to increase occupant comfort and lower air-conditioning costs by bringing down interior temperatures and providing shade. Green roofs also provide extra insulation in colder weather.” He again added , “Both inside a workspace and outside a building, there are numerous steps one can take to reduce the use of clean, drinkable water.”

Mr Benerjee who heads the design department of iDream, a leading Indian interior and architecture company, said, “Landscaping should be done with plants that are well adapted to the local climate. Choosing indigenous plants over exotic varieties can help reduce the need for irrigation, as well as environmentally harmful pesticides and fertilizers. Invasive non-native plants can harm the local ecology.”

According to him, choosing a micro-irrigation system also known as drip irrigation or trickle irrigation, instead of traditional sprinklers, to deliver water to grounds works more efficiently. During watering, micro-irrigation delivers 85 to 90 percent of the moisture supply to plants, compared with just 40 to 50 percent delivery for typical broadcast sprinklers.

The Landscaping expert at iDream said that, “watering plants and grass with rainwater from an on-site cistern will dramatically limit the use of potable water, an increasingly precious and expensive resource in most parts of the country”. “Planting low-water ground covers or drought-tolerant grass and using absorbent soil mixtures to promote stormwater infiltration will reduce additional costs related to managing storm water,” he added.

About iDream: iDream Advisory Services Pvt Ltd is an architectural and interior designing firm with a strong commitment to building sustainable built environments.The firm has delivered green development solutions to organisations across all corners of India.

The Chicago Dryer Vent Cleaning Wizard Asks Consumers if They Have Kept Their Promise

R.Maupin — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 04:05:47 +0000

Chicago, IL – Annual dryer vent cleaning should have been on everyone’s list of New Year’s Resolutions according to the Chicago Wizard. Mory Matias, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard in Chicago, recommends dryer vent cleaning for its many benefits. “Dryer vent cleaning eliminates a fire hazard and conserves energy. Poorly vented dryers cost substantially more to operate and put undue stress on your dryer.”

Over 80% of Americans own clothes dryers which can be a hidden fire hazard when dryer vent cleaning is neglected or forgotten. “Most people think they are OK if they clean the lint screen after every load,” said Mory. “A recent study showed that 95% of people who religiously clean the lint screen have large amounts of lint trapped in their dryer vent system. The fact is, only about 60 percent of lint from laundry is caught in the lint screen. Even the most efficient, state-of-the-art dryer vent system requires annual dryer vent cleaning.”

Mory Matias is working toward a goal to increase public awareness on the importance of dryer vent cleaning. Mory, along with other Dryer Vent Wizard franchisees have created blogs and posted informative articles to them for consumers to read for maintenance tips and energy saving information.

Mory Matias enjoys his rewarding career as a Wizard who is dedicated to helping his local community prevent easily avoidable dryer fires. He is committed to providing a quality service for home and business owners that will help them achieve tangible safety and savings through regular dryer vent cleaning.

“If you have kept your promise and cleaned your dryer vent system this year, good for you!” said Matias. “If you are among those who did not make this promise, or have been putting it off for whatever reason, it is time to call the Wizard in your area and get this done. Your clothes dryer could be a ticking time bomb waiting to destroy your home.” Visit http://www.dryerventwizard.com.

Patients with Autoimmune Polyendocrine Syndrome Say Goodbye to Yeast Infection

roniwing3 — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 14:52:06 +0000

It is a well-known fact that yeast infection affects a large percentage of men and women, at least once in their life. Some of them even suffer from it frequently, especially if they have underlying conditions and autoimmune diseases. Among the most susceptible to chronic yeast infections are people with Autoimmune Polyendocrine Syndrome or APS-1. But the good news is that NovelTreatment, an online organization that operates primarily to help provide answers and pieces of advice to patients with infections and diseases, has uncovered an answer to such a problem.

The root cause of yeast infection among APS-1 patients pointed to a certain class of antibodies, which destroys immune proteins called cytokines. These cytokines are the ones controlling the growth of fungi in the human body, and when they are destroyed, fungi will significantly increase in number.

James Diaz, manager of NovelTreatment, has recently unveiled the organization’s plans. “We are in the process of promoting awareness to this new knowledge. It is our goal to make health care providers and patients know about this so that an effective treatment for yeast infection can be prescribed to APS-1 patients.”

Diaz mentioned that there are already appropriate treatment methods made available by pharmaceutical companies. The problem before was that nobody knew what actually triggered the infection. Fortunately, this situation is slowly changing today.

To date, there are already about 230 individuals with APS-1 in several cities in California who have been prescribed the correct medication to fight yeast infection. Now, about 89% of them reported to have been able to prevent the yeast infection from re-occurring again. Many patients have expressed delight over this. Hailey Morrison, a 43-year-old mom, has this to say, “I’m really happy that researchers have finally found an answer to the cause of yeast infection among APS-1 patients like me. It has really helped me get rid of this recurrent problem, and hopefully, for good!”

The organization is continuously working with hospitals in the state to increase awareness about this finding.
