Lawyer Under Attack Via Internet

Posted by Mike

Most people know by now that the Pirate Bay case concluded and found the defendants guilty. The main goal of the governments is to stop pirating and force people to purchase movies, music, and software. While this small victory scored a point for the Swedish government it is causing havoc for their lawyer.

Peter Danowsky was the lawyer for the plaintiffs in the Pirate Bay case. The attack that has been devised could potentially cause his firm to have a lot extra fees and bookkeeping work. The attack is called the DDo$ or Distributed Denial of Dollars. A site located at internetavgift.se is asking people to send 1Krona, which is about 13 cents, to the account. You might speculate this to be a good thing. They’re asking people to send them money. However the truth is that it could end up costing the firm a substantial amount of money.

This is because the bank has rules in which companies can only receive 1,000 payments a year for free. If there are payments made after that then they get charged 1.7 kronor, which is about 21 cents, for each extra transaction. That means after the 1,000 payment mark that the company would have to pay 8 cents for each payment. If that isn’t bad enough his firm might have to actually refund all of the payments because the law states that inaccurate payments must be returned if the person that sent the money claims it.

On top of the funds scheme the fact that every transaction has to be logged into the law firm books means that they will need someone to spend the time doing so.

While the site says that it has nothing to do with the case and the ruling the lawyer believes it’s the reason he’s under this attack.

Fixing MSI Error

Posted by Kat

If you are receiving an onslaught of MSI Error screens, you are probably wondering what you did to cause such an unfortunate event.  The truth of the matter is that a MSI Error is most often the result of not properly caring for your computer system.  The good news is that while this error may result from neglect, there is affirmative action you can take beginning today to not only repair your system, but ensure that you do not receive MSI Errors in the future.

Here is the most common way in which MSI Errors happen:  When you install a new program to your system and you have not entirely uninstalled the old program, you create a pretty good chance that you will begin receiving MSI Errors.  This is because many programs are not meant to coexist on one system.  The fact is that certain programs cannot run concurrently without causing system malfunction.

Another common way in which MSI Errors happen is from malicious software.  You have less control over this cause of these errors, as malicious software is oftentimes attached to your system through a virus without your consent.  The malicious software can delete files from your computer which are necessary to proper system functioning, and their absence will create MSI Errors.

The real trick when you begin receiving MSI Errors is to not panic.  While some in the computer industry charge exorbitant prices to fix this type of problem, Regcure provides the same fix for a fraction of the cost. Download Regcure to fix MSI Errors and fully optimize your PC.
