Download Spam Blocker Now And Stop Spam Immediately
June 6, 2010 by SmallBiz-Resources.com · Leave a Comment
Not everyone will like changing his email address to get rid of spam because many people share their email addresses with their friends, colleagues, subscribers, and customers. They also may have business cards and other material with the email addresses printed on them. Moreover, getting a new email address won’t free you from spam forever. It will work the first time while your email is new. But as far as you will be using it to communicate with your contacts, the spam flow coming to that email address will be growing. So, how to combat spam? Where is the right solution? One of the effective ways to combat spam is using an anti-spam filter. Fortunately, there are a lot of anti-spam tools available on the Internet.
I am using the anti-spam filter is called SpamCombat. For me, it’s a “must-have” tool. I’ve been using it for about 2 years and my statistics show that 80% of emails I receive are deleted by SpamCombat.
The particularity of SpamCombat is that it works at the source i.e. it connects directly to your inbox on the server and manages the emails there. It’s not the same when you are using the filters in your email software, for example Outlook or Thunderbird. The major difference is that SpamCombat deletes spam and junk emails on the email server so that you never have to download them. Using an anti-spam filter in Outlook, for instance, would mean that you have to pull down the messages onto your computer first and then analyze and manage them accordingly. This may pose a threat if some emails contain viruses.
SpamCombat is easy to use. It’ll take just a few minutes to set it up. The downloadable version of SpamCombat will never expire so you have plenty of time to decide if it is working for you. SpamCombat is provided with 6 filters, which detect spam emails with great accuracy and precision. You can customize the filters for your needs. On the company’s user forum there is a topic dedicated to SpamCombat filters: http://www.justlan.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=937
The program users gratefully share their filters with others and I found many useful anti-spam filters there. I added some of them to my SpamCombat installation and the amount of spam that was identified increased to 80%. This means that on average, 3 of every 10 emails I receive are legitimate and are allowed through by SpamCombat. The rest are deleted at the server and I don’t have to spend time downloading them. This is a big deal if you are using dialup access to the Internet.
There is a concept of a blacklist and a whitelist. You can “whitelist” and “blacklist” the emails by any field from the message header (not only by the From field where the message sender’s email address is) and by any word or phrase from the message content. SpamCombat will allow all emails through that are on the whitelist, and it will mark for deletion or automatically delete all those that are on the blacklist. Adding or removing someone from the whitelist or blacklist is a very simple point and click exercise.
SpamCombat also allows using wildcards and regular expressions to set legitimate filters up. For example, if you specify all emails coming from your company domain name as being legitimate, then all messages from your colleagues will be allowed through without you having to specify each person. You can achieve this by using a wildcard setting such as “*@youworkdomain.com”. This can also be used to blacklist an entire domain such that all messages are immediately marked for deletion or automatically deleted depending on your settings.
There is also the Bayesian filter, self-learning system based on legitimate and spam emails you receive. I trained the Bayesian filter well and now it identifies my legitimate and spam emails in the proper way.
SpamCombat also has more advanced filters. One of them is known as “DNSBL filter”. There are servers on the internet which list known spam addresses. When you receive a message from one of these addresses, SpamCombat automatically marks it as spam without your filters even being invoked. This is a remarkable filter. It identifies about 10% of spam emails that I get.
Another advanced filter is called Complex Filter. This filter is based on the VBScript. If you are familiar with the VBScript, you can write a script and add it to the Complex Filter. A nice filter is described there: http://www.glocksoft.net/sc/discover-amazingly-powerful-anti-spam-filter/
The software configuration is very flexible. You can choose a deletion mode for spam emails by yourself: you can specify the emails to be deleted automatically without your participation, or you can have the program mark them for deletion but let you preview them just in case. This is important at the beginning until you tailor the program for your mail.
You can also set SpamCombat to move spam emails to the internal program trash or delete them permanently. The emails will be stored in the trash for a number of days depending on your settings. There is also a way to recover an email from the trash and receive it with your regular email client.
SpamCombat is independent software and does not interfere with your email client. It sits in the system tray and does its work thoroughly. On my computer, it checks my inbox every 20 minutes and notifies me that new emails arrived. I then review them and do a cleanout. I have my email client setup to only receive messages when I instruct it to so that SpamCombat has the most opportunity to do its work.
SpamCombat is an indispensable tool in my email arsenal. If spam is a vital problem for you, it could do likewise for you. Download your free copy today and use it for as long as you want to fight spam on your main email account.

STOP 0x7A Error and Hard Drive Recovery
June 4, 2010 by SmallBiz-Resources.com · Leave a Comment
A STOP error occurs when your hard drive suffers fatal errors such as hardware defects, incompatible drivers, unsupported software or services, missing or damaged system files etc. They bring operating system to a halt and hence place your data at risk. In such situations, your recent data backup can help restoring the lost files, unless it is not invalid or incomplete. But, if you find any issues with it, Hard Drive Recovery solutions can extract the lost data.
Consider a situation, you start your computer and receive one of the following error messages:
“STOP 0x0000007A”
Or
“KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR”
It generally occurs in Windows 2000 based systems. The error message describes four parameters: lock type held (1, 2, 3 or PTE (Page Table Entry), Input/Output status code, current process and virtual address that is unreadable into memory.
Cause
STOP 0x7A error occurs when system requests for a page of kernel data from paging file on hard disk, but fails to read into memory. It can happen due to the following reasons:
Bad sector in paging file
Virus infected hard drive
Hard disk controller issues
Failing RAM
Hardware defect
Solution
To solve the above STOP error, you need to follow these methods:
If I/O status code is 0xC000009C or 0xC000016A, then it indicates bad sectors. Try restarting the hard disk. Doing so will run the Autocheck that can identify bad sectors or alternatively, you can run chkdsk. If bad sectors are logical, reformatting the hard disk will remove them. You can restore lost data from an updated backup. If such backup is not available or invalid, you need to usehard drive recovery software .
Scan your hard disk using an updated and powerful antivirus application, if virus infection is the issue.
If I/O status code is C0000185, you should check disk cables
Consult Hard Drive Recovery services, if hard disk cotroller is causing the problem
You need to run hardware diagnostics to determine RAM failure issues
Hardware diagnostics also identify other hardware concerns

Affiliate Program Promotion: Stop Being an Affiliate Program Jerk
May 31, 2010 by SmallBiz-Resources.com · Leave a Comment
There are millions of different affiliate programs on the internet and also offline to join and most are free.
During the past 7 yrs, millions of people from all over the world have joined these free affiliate programs in order to generate supplemental incomes or full time as home based businesses.
Since most of these affiliates have full time jobs and have little or no computing, website or business marketing and management skills, most have found it very difficult to generate affiliate commissions and reasonable income because they don’t know how to generate website traffics.
Therefore, some of them were forced to flock to the so-called internet-marketing gurus to buy internet-marketing e-books, website promotion softwares and read gazillion numbers of silly e-zines to learn how to promote their affiliate programs and websites.
Some of these so-called gurus went as far as seducing these internet newbies into attending their over priced internet-marketing seminars for $5000 in different cities in America and other countries of the world.
In some of these internet marketing e-books, the so called internet marketing gurus told them that the big secrets of getting rich on the internet were to get massive traffics by placing free classified ads, advertising in FFA (Free For All) websites, placing banner ads, doing pay per click advertising, creating thousands of blogs and pinging them, buying expensive text ad links, doing reciprocal link exchange with other websites, doing opt-in e-mail marketing, joint venture marketing, optimize and submit their websites to search engines, write articles about topics relating to their internet business and affiliate programs and submit them to thousands of article directories so as to get one way links, high page ranks and top 10 ranking so as to get massive traffics.
The so-called website marketing gurus seduced them into believing that to be able to do all these promotions they must use certain softwares and programs, which they must buy from them (the so-called internet marketing gurus!)
Some of these internet marketer newbies followed all these advices diligently and bought the softwares, did all the recommended internet marketing and promotions.
They have done the internet promotion work, but they were generating little or no traffics and sales despite spending thousands of dollars and their valuable time for 1yr-2yrs.
Finally, they became fade up and were forced to begin to scream, “Where is the money?”
What they did not realize was that most of the internet marketing strategies, which the so-called gurus had recommended, had been out of date, stale, invalid and did not work any more.
They did not know that the gurus do not even use those internet marketing and website promotion strategies.
This is because most of the so-called gurus had already made their money in various businesses before they got involved in internet businesses.
Most had built large customer base for about 10yrs-20 yrs before they began internet business.
One so-called internet-marketing guru sold his offline business for about $20,000,000 before he began his internet business and had more than 100,000 e-mail list to market any product to and generate thousands of dollars easily and instantly.
He was awash in raw cash and had 100,000 people he could send e-mails to market any product.
Obviously, most of the internet marketing strategies he recommended such as opt-in e-mail marketing worked for him and made him rich because he already had 100,000 in-house e-mail list databases of customers!
So, in their minds, the so called gurus might have believed that just because their internet marketing strategies worked for them it would work for everybody who bought their $29.95 e-books and website promotion softwares.
It is clear that what these gurus have been selling are half-truths.
They do not tell their customers the whole truth for obvious reasons.
Think about it.
Why would a so-called internet-marketing guru sell a powerful internet marketing “secret” which could make him $500,000 to somebody for $29.95?
Think seriously and logically about it.
Why would such a website marketing guru be naïve enough to sell it to thousands of Tom, Dick and Jane all over the world and therefore create unnecessary competitions for him/her, which would affect his income and profits negatively?
This is a no-brainer.
It is irrational.
No right thinking, rational and profit-motivated businessperson will do that: cut his/her nose to spite his/her face.
This will explain why only the so-called website marketing gurus have been getting richer in their internet businesses while the buyers of their internet marketing e-books and website promotion softwares have been doing poorly, and not succeeding as much as the website promotion gurus have in their affiliate programs marketing and internet businesses.
Website traffics, visitors and customers are the lifeblood of every business, both on the internet and off the internet.
If you cannot get massive website traffics and genuine targeted visitors to your affiliate program websites, you will not generate any sales and affiliate commission and income.
It is as simple as that.
So what are the secrets, which can help you to begin to generate massive website traffics and genuine visitors so that you may begin generating large amount of affiliate commissions like the super affiliates in your affiliate programs?
Here are some common sense useful tips to help you skyrocket your success in affiliate program marketing:
(1) Choose and promote only high paying affiliate programs.
Before you begin promotion, phone the company and make sure they are real people (and not just a bunch of 12 yr old kids goofing around online) and inquire how long it takes them to pay the commissions and ask how to verify that they pay their affiliates.
Ask them to refer you to some of their affiliates so that you may verify everything.
Most affiliate companies do not pay the commissions and you will not know until after you had spent time and money for a few months to promote their products and generated a large commission.
Then you will find out they would refuse to pay.
So check out and research the affiliate program before you begin promotion to make sure you will be paid your affiliate commissions.
(2) Select and promote only affiliate programs in high demand with mass appeal but with small number of marketers and sellers/suppliers.
The demand must be greater than the supply for you to generate massive traffics and generate large amount of commissions.
The higher the demand for the product/service, the more there will be traffics/visitors, sales and large affiliate commissions to be made.
(3) Stay away from most free affiliate programs.
Since they are free, hundreds of thousands of affiliates may be promoting them already, therefore saturating the market and creating more supply than demand and therefore making it hard to generate massive traffics, sales and affiliate commissions.
(4) Create your own affiliate program landing pages for all your affiliate programs.
On this landing page, include a short review of the affiliate program and how you have enjoyed it (if you have or how anyone else who bought it enjoyed it.)
Or you may use any testimonials at the company’s website.
Be sure to optimize this affiliate program landing page with the proper keywords.
This will help it to be indexed in the search engines and so get exposures and traffics.

Stop E-mail Abuse By Using Antispam Software
May 31, 2010 by SmallBiz-Resources.com · Leave a Comment
E-mail has now been misused and one proof is the existence of spam e-mail. It is irritating to see that your mailbox is full just because of these spam e-mail.
Thus, you need to delete these unwanted e-mails before you even get a glimpse of the important ones. So instead of manually deleting these spam e-mail, it is recommended that you download or purchase an antispam software.
Spam also poses a threat to internet users because it may contain virus which can infect your computer system. And some spammers are very good in making their e-mail to appear as legit.
They can disguise as if you know then and may convince you to download the attached file that contains a virus. They also do certain tricks to hide their real addresses so even if you are blocked their e-mail address (that shows up in the “From” field of a received e-mail), their e-mail can still get through to your mailbox. But with the help of antispam software, spammers and computer viruses can be avoided.
Antispam software helps you fight the battle with unsolicited e-mail. E-mail service providers will basically give you options to block certain e-mail address thus; you can block a spammer’s e-mail address. However, antispam software offers an extensive list of features that your e-mail provider may not have.
Although there are many available antispam software to choose from, they still offer similar services or features such as:
Allow or Block list. To save time in deleting unwanted e-mail, you can use the antispam feature to filter the e-mail you are receiving based on the e-mail address. This can either be done by creating allow or block list.
Allow list will contain the e-mail or domain addresses that you wish to receive e-mail from while a block list will mostly be the ones you consider as spammer (or can also be people whom you know but wish not to communicate with them via e-mail).
Filtering based on e-mail subject or content. Spammers commonly used vulgar or adult words (sometimes too offending).
Thus, filtering based on a keyword is helpful in blocking these spammers. Antispam software will allow you to create keyword list. If an e-mail contains a keyword you have specified, it will not go into your mailbox.
E-mail virus-scan. Since there is a possibility that a virus is attached in a spam e-mail, antispam software also offers e-mail virus scan.
Some software even offers automatic scanning once you open the e-mail and will also automatically remove any virus on an e-mail. Some will also automatically delete an e-mail that contains a virus.
Auto-detect spam. Antispam software can also offer automatic filtering. This filtering can be based on profiling. Spam is determined based on what you or the software consider as spam.
Your profiling is determined when you block or delete an e-mail because you consider it spam. Then, there are also cases that the antispam software already received a lot of report from a specific e-mail so it can be automatically considered as spam by the software itself.
With the great features and benefits that an antispam software offers, stopping spammers in abusing the e-mail is now made easy.
