udoq Launches The Ultimate Apple Dock… This One Is Qi Wireless

Posted in Commentary with tags on June 29, 2018 by itnerd

udoq announced today THE ULTIMATE APPLE DOCK. Available through Indiegogo at 50% off for only $99 (normally $199), THE ULTIMATE APPLE DOCK includes the udoq anodized aluminum docking/charging station, udoq designed Qi wireless adapter charging plate, udoq Apple watch adapter, two Lightning cables with adapters, and the udoq cable box that cleanly organizes cables out of view. Designed for Apple lovers by Porsche minimalist designers, the udoq THE ULTIMATE APPLE DOCK has a high quality, nearly indestructible dark grey profile that matches timelessly with Apple’s famous design aesthetic — built for a lifetime of use and always compatible.

Patented Sliding Cable Design

THE ULTIMATE APPLE DOCK features udoq’s convenient patented sliding cables that move back and forth and can be changed out while keeping cables always elegantly hidden from view. In addition, the dock’s front facing design lets you see and operate devices while charging. udoq Founder Marcus Kuchler said, “I developed udoq because I was sick and tired of the daily search for my family’s iPhones, iPads, iPods, or AirPods. And cable clutter or dangling connectors simply don’t match Apple’s clean and straightforward design concept. THE ULTIMATE APPLE DOCK lets you charge, operate, and display all your Apple mobile devices in one central spot. It lasts you a lifetime, and since udoq stays compatible forever​, it will be adaptable to all new charging technologies.”

#PSA: All-Radio 4.27 Portable Is Malware That You Really Want To Steer Clear Of

Posted in Commentary with tags on June 29, 2018 by itnerd

I often get called in to do malware removal. Sometimes, I am able to remove the malware in question. Sometimes, I can’t. Based on what I am reading here, All-Radio 4.27 Portable is going to be one of those ones that I can’t remove. At least not easily. Here’s why:

If your computer is suddenly displaying the above program, then your computer is infected with malware that installs rootkits, miners, information-stealing Trojans, and a program that is using your computer to send send out spam.

Unfortunately, while some security programs are able to remove parts of the infection, the rootkit component needs manual removal help at this time. Due to this and the amount of malware installed, if you are infected I suggest that you reinstall Windows from scratch if possible.

That’s not good to say the least. Thus you need to protect yourself from being a victim. Fortunately, that seems to be easy as it appears that this malware shows up on your computer if you install game cracks and Windows activation tools. Thus you should avoid those as this is a textbook example of what happens to you if you don’t. Beyond that, you should have an up to date antivirus installed. Not to mention having a backup strategy in case the worst happens.
