Hello,

I just received some fake message pretending to be from paypal, leading to a fake Paypal website.

However, unlike most similar scams this one was pretty smart!
I almost fall for it, allthough I am a software engineer myself...

Here is the deal:

The fake message sender will be probably: "service@https-paypal.com"

Then the contents of the email is something like that:
"PayPal rewards the best customers with generous bonuses this christmas".

And at the end you find the link, leading to the fake site:

http://https-paypal.com

When I check who is the Administator of this fake website(in http://whois.ws)- someone "James...", needless to say nothing to do with paypal Inc.

Thanks and BEWARE!

It's christmas soon and such scams are epidemy...

I just bought a new Laptop and it's running Vista. I have Windows Office 2003 on a disk. I copied it to the new laptop. But when I try to open Exel or Word or Powerpoint I get the following message:
'The operating system is not currently configured to run this application'
I have already turned off the User Account Contro (UAC).
Any ideas what to do now??
By the way,I got this MS Office 2003 through 'file sharing'.

On Friday there was a surge in which the power came on and went of several times, about 5 or six and now when I turn on the pc I can hear it running but there is nothing coming up on the monitor. I even used a different monitor to see if that was the problem but still nuthing. Could it be that the surge fried my video card?

Ok, I have this document that is a .doc and since I don't have MS Word, I cannot open it. I am asking for someone with MS Word to give me their email address so I can email them the document and then they can copy and paste the words and stuff in the document and then send it to me as an email.

Don't worry it's just a bathroom scale manual.

Thanks,
Stephen

Whenever I log onto my account on the computer and get on the internet the font on some things come out way bigger than they're supposed to be.
But when I log onto my parent's account on the computer and get on the internet everything comes out normal.

How do I get the font normal again on my account?

I have accidentally stumbled upon another person's profile on Facebook who happened to share similar interests/beliefs as me, and we both go to the same university. I would like to meet him in real life, but I think it might appear as rather unusual since people don't befriend people in real life via the Internet (or do they?) Is it possible to befriend someone in real life after finding u both have common interests on Facebook?

PS: The main problem also is that there are people who go about stalking others, but I am only interested in befriending new people with similar interests/beliefs.

I bought a laptop with 1GB of DDR2 memory. Is it better to just buy one with 2GB or can I upgrade? What are the pros and cons of upgrading it myself?

Hi I have recently acquired Medal of Honor Airborne for the PC and when running the setup, an alert has appeared saying that my video card is not supported.

My video card is a NVIDIA 6200 Turbo cache (If that means anything?)

and a NVIDIA GeForce 6600 GT or greater is needed to run the game.

Does making the game work involve buying a new video card or just a simple update?

All replies welcome :)
