Not only is Yo stupid, it's now also a security risk
by Guest Rich Edmonds- 0 replies

Yo! Remember the hit new app that managed $1 million in funding we covered yesterday, which enables smartphone owners to send "Yo" alerts to contacts? The service has been hacked by a student and two roommates. Yo has confirmed they're investigating the hack and expect to have the security vulnerability patched in the "next few hours". The hackers have been able to access any Yo user's mobile number with the ability spam any user with multiple Yo messages. The hackers opted not to spam users of the Yo service, but (if the apps weren't already pointless enough) users have reported to receiving a Yo through the app which played a snippet of Rick Astley's "Never Gonna G…

Hi so I just recently bought a new computer and out of no where it has been running into some really annoying errors. This has happened three times, I can't figure out a reason yet, as far as I know it occurs randomly. Some times I will boot up my computer and it will just go to the windows icon, the loading circle will not appear. If I leave it running it still will remain frozen. After a few restarts it says "preparing automatic repair" yet is still frozen. This has happened 3 times. The first time I popped in the recovery CD no problem, used a system restore, it was all good. The second time it actually had a cause, our power went out and my pc was in use, so p…

Windows 8 computer problems loading up
by Guest Theburr1- 0 replies
- 356 views
I have a hp pavilion 23 with windows 8 and it will power on but not go to the start screen. It try's to repair itself but cannot. It gives me the options of restarting the computer or advanced options. If you restart the computer it just begins trying to repair itself but still cannot. The only thing I can think of is it has a bad driver or something because it comes up with a code that has a meaning for driver C. However I do not know how to fix this and it will not reset back to factory settings or repair itself, there is something that's preventing it. It tries to repair and fails over and over again. As of now the computer is completely uses less because I can …

I have tried to restore it, but no programs will not load. I love Windows 7 and I have a Windows…

Back up

My laptop is telling me I need to back up. I've done it before onto CDs. I have since moved cities and don't have the discs I used last time. I now want to use a hard drive. The computer tells me to insert a USB but when I do it asks it for a CD into the E: drive. Can I change it to an F: drive and back it up on to a hard drive I've just bought? I use windows 7 in case that's important (I got the hard drive thinking I'd just plug it in and follow the prompts but it didn't quite work out that way). Continue reading...

Hi all, Any folk on the forum is experienced on editing the "Zone File Editor" ? (pls see attached file) I'm subscribing Godaddy's "Ultimate Hosting Plan". Now only email accounts of the Hosting Domain can receive emails. Other email accounts of addon domains unable to receive emails. They can send emails and receive emails sent only from the email accounts of the hosting domain. The emails sent to them on Internet are bouncing saying "recipient NOT found". Lately Godaddy has cancelled all written online supports by way of email leaving behind only the call support by phone. It is NOT convenient for customers living on other continents. I have been googling 2 da…
