It has been almost a month since we turned two years old. And during that time various games and challenges were set-up in order to celebrate and enjoy the fact we turned two. What we also added was a chance to win full licences of programs.

As it’s towards the end of the period, which has gone over it’s planned slot, we still have some licences to give away! They are copies of Sunbelts’ Counterspy and Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware.

To enter on your choice of raffle, click on the links below:

• Enter the raffle that is giving away full licences of Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware
• Enter the raffle that is giving away full copies of Sunbelts’ CounterSpy

And all you have to do is register and post you want to win! Then a number is allocated to your post and in a weeks time (depending on the amount of entries) we will put all numbers in a hat and draw the numbers!

Simple ‘eh? Go and get your copy!

This is the sole reason Terminal 5 sucks! Courtesy of PaperGhost:

It’s weird that such a costly terminal, run by British Airways Plc, has such poor research. Oh well….

I thought the following was quite amusing ahead of the big fight this Saturday the 8th of December between Ricky Hatton and Floyd Mayweather.

Is this a sign for the fight? Probably not, yet it brought a smile to my face. I wish Ricky Hatton all the best tomorrow and I hope he brinks back the belt. I’ll certainly be watching.

There truely is only one Ricky Hatton

Chat about the boxing in our forum if you wish. It should be a great fight!

Warning! The following may well offend you. If you do not wish to be offended by the worst type of comedy ever! Look away to your right and say bananas!

… seriously, I don’t want to be done for neck strain either … Let’s get on with it.

Some of you may have taken part or even read the thread at CastleCops which involved the authors from a classified rogue. The one thread that had us slamdunking the guys behind IE Defender. Well a week later and I think they are trying to be comedians.

On a different domain to the one IE Defender is on (iedefender(dot)com), they also set-up another domain;

www(dot)xiedefender(dot)com

And up until yesterday, this domain had a 403. Not anymore:

This was the look of the domain on the 11th of November. And this clearly shows the lack of braincells one can have at any time. Not to mention these also create the rogues that cause alot of headache to computer users.

And to think we have lost is like thinking a horse and cart will always win a lap round Silverstone over a F1 car. Not even possible.

It appears the domain in question is changing its content, thanks to a tip from ShadowPuterDude. Would you trust the owners of your anti-malware/virus/spyware to have an attitude like this?

The text the image above shows is now already outdated. It’s changed from:

IEDefender is coming... Yeah it will be today :)

To:

IEDefender is coming...

Now after the attempt to be comedians, these kids have probably stuck to their word and the domain, xiedefender(dot)com has fully changed:

All the free removal tools we recommend will be updated as we have already got all new varients to nuke it. Just get yourself into our forum and chat about this. I’m sure we will.

Yesterday, whilst chatting to a known community expert, we got chatting about Internet radio and each others blogs. Plus security was a hot topic as well.

We discussed the recent spat between IE Defender and the community and the well documented discussion between ESG and the community. And other areas’. It was nice to chat with someone whom I don’t chat too often, yet we had a lot in common.

After awhile I was introduced to an Internet radio station this expert broadcasts from every week, CNI Radio. It was nice to see such an approach as I have hardly ever listened to Internet radio that covers the area we work in.

To cut a long story short, we got asked permission for them to mention us in their weekly show. What do you think my answer was?

… Correct, it wasn’t going to be No.

I’ll try and get a recording as soon as I can. This is a nice mark for me personally and for us as a support site. We now ride the air waves! Thanks goes out to Bambi for making it possibly. It’s a worthy show if you like to be educated.

All this week and last week we have asked our members to come up with a brand new slogan for Security Cadets. At present it stands at the following:

“Free Security Assistance, News and Information”

…. and in the forum it stands at:

“Free Malware Removal & Help Site Since 2006″

The first one is the slogan in our logo. That will change to the new one which gets decided by you and our members.

We’ve set up a dedicated topic in our forum for this so all you need to do is register and put your slogan forward.

At present the winner will get a link on our links page and also a possibility of a separate prize. It will close this coming Saturday and after the closing date we will put polls forward for you to vote on!

So visit the topic in the Comments & Suggestion Box and get involved with Security Cadets!

Hey guys, I have to apologise for my lack of blogging and other bloggers.

1. First we had some issues which meant for site downtime.
2. Secondly I have been rather busy with other more important commitments. One of those being, helping our local community after last months floods.

As I am part of a committe and coding the web site for this committe, my time blogging has been hit. There are important issues I certainly would like to raise and just general security news I would wish to blog about. However this may continue to be one of my areas being hit when more bad weather is due this weekend.

On the bright side, you may see some blog articles by other bloggers we have here to keep this active.  So from me, stay safe.

Well it had to be done in my opinion. Anyway from the events of last week we have set up a committee and a website. I coded it and I’ll hope to be heavily involved with it.
