However there is a way to still run Flash applications if you have access to Internet Explorer 11 and haven't applied the patch to remove Flash (KB4577586) We have successfully used this method to reactivate one of our applications that relied on Flash based graphs and had stopped working on Jan 12 but users are now able to access again. Bear in mind this should only be a temporary fix until you can rewrite the code, using Flash is not a long term solution.
You need to create a file called MMS.cfg. Within the file you need to specify the domain and port that your flash application is running on, for example </span><span color="rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.870588235294118)" face="Roboto, Noto, sans-serif"><span style="font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">https://https://www.bbc.co.uk/:80</span></span><span color="rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.87)" face="Roboto, Noto, sans-serif" style="font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">. This is the website/domain for your website that you need to enable flash to work on.</span><div><br /></div><div>The port number for standard websites is 80 or 8080 but if you have access to your webserver you should be able to check the number in the configuration. For my application it was port 7777 but that was part of the URL I need to enter to access the site so fairly obvious. </div><div><div><span color="rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.87)" face="Roboto, Noto, sans-serif" style="font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">
Other parameters in the file I used are as below:</span></div><div><span color="rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.87)" face="Roboto, Noto, sans-serif" style="font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></div><div><span color="rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.87)" face="Roboto, Noto, sans-serif" style="font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">EOLUninstallDisable=1

I have Windows 10 on my laptop and normally it's a seamless process to log in where you enter your credentials to SecureDoc on startup and this automatically logs you in to Windows.</p><p>However there seems to be an issue when Windows requires a password change and SecureDoc doesn't seem to be able to cope with this so you end up with the situation of needing a different password for SecureDoc to the one used for Windows and need to enter 2 different passwords.</p><p>The SecureDoc website is useless for finding information about this and doesn't have any support info - I guess because they expect support to be done by company helpdesks.</p><p>The answer seems to be to log in to the SecureDoc control center on your laptop once it has booted into the Operating System. Select the menu option to Communicate with Server and this appears to resync the password between Windows and SecureDoc. I don't know if the same process works for MacOS but it might be worth a try if you find that your password no longer matches SecureDoc.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><p><br /></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4439824587514219484.post-64197112698538717482020-11-22T15:10:00.004-08:002020-11-22T15:11:10.983-08:00IOCrest SATA 6g Host Controller Not working - Hard Drives not showing<p> For ages I've had an IO Crest 8 channel PCI-Express SATA (Serial ATA) host controller card that I've been unable to get fully working on my PC so it would allow the additional hard drives I'd got connected to it to be visible. There were a few suggestions online but nothing seemed to work and some posts had suggested the card was unlikely to function properly for various reasons so I'd not dug further into it.</p><p>I finally decided to give it another go and to look for new drivers. The driver CD that came with the card didnt have anything of use on it - not sure if it was the wrong CD but it had video software nothing to do with this card.

I first found the problem with loading my runs & rides from my watch to Strava back in late 2017 and all was working relatively smoothly with my Android phone being kept on the latest working version of Strava which I'd found to be v20.0.0<br />
<br />
I've now got a new Android phone and am looking to sell my old phone so need to get another way to load the Strava data from my Sony Smartwatch to Strava online. I've found a great website that maintains old copies of the Android Strava app where I am able to obtain a copy of v20 of Strava.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://strava.en.uptodown.com/android/versions">https://strava.en.uptodown.com/android/versions</a><br />
<br />
Luckily I have a very old phone that I'm able to install Strava on and use that purely for loading my activity from my Smartwatch up to Strava. I can then use my new Android phone with the latest version of Strava to view my activity and those of my friends - the old version 20 no longer shows any activity on the phone but still syncs the data from the Smartwatch in the back ground.<br />
<br />
So if you want to continue to use Strava on your Smartwatch I'd recommend using the link above to get v20 of the Strava app to load to your phone which will continue to sync your data.<br />

These attachments could be PDF files, Word documents or Excel spreadsheets.<br />
<br />
Looking online there doesn't seem to be much in the way of options for being able to use a single tool to produce a report that includes rows of data from an Oracle table along with CLOB or BLOB data in a single place.<br />
<br />
However one idea came to mind when I was talking through options with colleagues. We already have the facility within the Apex system for a user to email themselves a copy of a specific record with any linked data. If it was possible to add the Clob attachments to this email then it would give a way to be able to print them.<br />
<br />
Within Microsoft Outlook there is the ability to print an email and one slightly hidden option is to also print all attachments. The main print screen is below.<br />

<br />
You will see a message asking if you want to open the program that processes each attachment type - answer Ok and the print is generated. You don't even see the program opening, the print is just generated. The print jobs will be sent directly to the printer and be held for printing by the user or print immediately depending on your print server setup.<br />
<br />
To generate the email from the Oracle database we're using the Apex_Mail PROCEDURE which is part of the standard Oracle UTL_SMTP toolkit that has lots of documentation online.<br />

<br />
So the process to print a report from Oracle that includes table data as well as PDF, XLS, DOC or other attachments stored as Clobs is below:<br />
<ul>
<li>Generate email from Oracle Apex</li>
<li>Add attachments to email</li>
<li>Send email</li>
<li>Use Outlook to print email and all attachments</li>
</ul>
<br />
An improvement/variation on this would be to include the Oracle table data in a PDF as an attachment to the email rather than being in the email body. This would allow you to control the layout and format of the table data more closely and avoid the email headers being shown.<br />

My Raspberry Pi has been variously plugged into a wall socket charger, TV and router to power the micro USB supply which have all worked fine when the standard Raspian Operating system was used.<br />
<br />
However it appears that OpenHabian is very susceptible to voltage fluctuations during the installation process and if there is any slight drop it can cause the process to fail giving an error in the package installer but not making any mention of the voltage being the cause. The only sign that there may be an issue was when I connected the Pi to my TV monitor to view the install and noticed the yellow power symbol flash on screen a few times.<br />
<br />
After seeing this error I downloaded the image onto a fresh SD card and started the installation again but this time using my mobile battery charger with 2A output. The installation completed flawlessly and I now have a fully working OpenHabian install ready to use!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4439824587514219484.post-17822167767942635462018-03-19T02:04:00.001-07:002018-03-19T02:04:28.657-07:00Question From eBay Member - Email Virus Malware <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;">One of the latest virus/malware attacks is an email that purports to be a question from an eBay member.

<div>
</div>
In the UK Police do not send speeding tickets (Notice of Intended Prosecution (NIP)) by email. The notice has to be sent by post within 14 days to the registered keeper, there is no option to email.<br />
<div>
</div>
<ul>
<li>Does the email claiming to be a Notice of Intended Prosecution (NIP) show the vehicle registration?</li>
<li>Does the email claiming to be a Notice of Intended Prosecution (NIP) show the Registered Keeper Name?</li>
</ul>
The answer to both these questions is likely to be no as the emails are sent at random and the spammers have no idea who they have been sent to.<br />
<br />
<br />
A Notice of Intended Prosecution has to be linked to a vehicle and a Registered Keeper so these emails can be deleted as spam. <br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>If you have clicked the link on the email then I'd recommend using a virus scanner on your PC as you are likely to have infected your machine with a virus or Trojan.</strong><br />

Beware of new email titled Crime Prevention Advice which contains a malware attachment that will infect your PC with a key logger</h4>
<br />
<br />
Received from the fake email address <a href="mailto:crime@content.met.police.uk">crime@content.met.police.uk</a> and containing the subject line ‘Crime Prevention Advice’, the email asks readers to open the attached file to learn more.<br />
<br />
<br />
Intelligence suggests that if the attachment is opened, iSpy key logger malware is downloaded onto the host device. The malware has the potential to capture keystrokes, steal passwords stored in web browsers among other malicious activities.<br />
<br />
<br />
Other phishing emails to watch out for include:<br />
• those from a ‘delivery company’ about an expected order which is delayed or held at the depot<br />
• a bogus order tricking you to confirm or cancel it<br />
• a fake ‘invoice’ attached for a recent order<br />
• warnings or advice from the Police such as our example<br />

With all the news about the Panama Papers I thought this article was an interesting take on data security and how not to do it, all from the viewpoint of a dictator trying to stash their millions. For the rest of us there are still some useful lessons about how to keep our data secure and away from hackers.<br />
<br /><br />
<a href="http://www.zdnet.com/article/three-important-lessons-crooked-world-leaders-can-learn-from-the-panama-papers/">http://www.zdnet.com/article/three-important-lessons-crooked-world-leaders-can-learn-from-the-panama-papers/</a><br />
<br /><br />
The bottom line is patch, patch and patch again. Make sure you always keep your software up to date with the latest patches and install updates when there are any security alerts. For most of us all might happen is that someone could have access to our data or hack your email/social media but potentially you could lose money from fraud on your bank account or lose important personal data like photos if your phone or PC is at risk from unpatched security flaws.<br />
If your PC or phone prompts to install new security updates then it's always worth making sure you take the time to apply them. From an IT perspective it may be a pain when systems need to be taken down to apply updates but there is good reason for keeping software fully patched as this shows!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4439824587514219484.post-45894147615479232102016-03-10T03:19:00.003-08:002016-12-13T01:30:47.679-08:00Say No to 0870 Website Infected by Trojan Virus?<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As of 10 March 2016 it appears that the Say No to 0870 website is infected with a Trojan virus according to McAfee. The website is a really useful tool for avoiding high call charges and getting local rate numbers to contact businesses so it's a prime target for hackers as it is so widely used.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If you've visited the SayNoTo0870.com website recently we'd strongly recommend running a full virus check or using software like MalwareBytes to check your computer.</div>

<br />
The email has NOT come from O2 so they have no knowledge of it and their systems have not been compromised. A virus scammer has just created an email spoofing the O2 email address which isn't something that they can stop.<br />

<br /><br />
<strong>You do not need to contact Drayton Manor Hotel as the email was not sent by them.</strong><br />
<br /><br />
<br />
<br />
The email contains an Excel attachment claiming to be a Reservation Confirmation number 79501. It is not a reservation and contains a virus that will try to steal your banking passwords. Just delete the email without opening.<br />
<br /><br />
If you have opened the email I'd strongly recommend that you scan your PC with a good free virus scanner such as AVG as well as MalwareBytes software which can clean Trojans and viruses from your computer. <br />
<br /><br />
If you have opened the email on a phone or Mac computer then you should be safe as the virus only infects Windows PCs.<br />

It now appears it is also being delivered by websites compromised by the Nuclear Exploit Kit. The Nuclear EK operates by exploiting vulnerabilities in Java, Acrobat Reader, Flash, and Silverlight so it's essential that you have your PC fully patched up to date.<br />
<br /><br />
<br />
Cryptowall 4 is now being found in the wild delivered by hacked websites. If you find your files on your drives are encrypted and the file names are also encrypted then it's highly likely that you have been infected by Cryptowall 4 ransomware. You can see the file <b>HELP_YOUR_FILES.PNG </b>will be stored in the folder with all the encrypted files. Other help files may be HELP_YOUR_FILES.HTML, HELP_YOUR_FILES.TXT.<br />
<br /><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-goPRgK4brGc/Vl27Fz7ix5I/AAAAAAAAJKE/PNVe5Ox-jL4/s1600/help_your_files.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="235" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-goPRgK4brGc/Vl27Fz7ix5I/AAAAAAAAJKE/PNVe5Ox-jL4/s320/help_your_files.png" width="320" /></a></div>
<br /><br />
<br />
Even visiting an apparently innocuous website may lead to your PC being infected IF you have software that has vulnerabilities such as Adobe Flash. Even fairly recent versions from August 2015 are still vulnerable to infection.<br />
