Is Your Antivirus Software Real

If you are a computer fanatic, especially if you are online, then you must have known about anitivirus - it's importance - more or less, especially when you are using Windows OS. Have you ever thought of a better AV software or even a good one? How about let's test your AV software if it really is working as it is supposed to be and so you know you are protected - at least. 

Now, here's what we are going to do. Test your antivirus software with this simple code. You will create your own file so no need to download anything. The code is secure and its not going to infect your computer in whatever way. It is a standard text developed by the European Institute for Computer Anti-virus Research - EICAR. Every AV is programed to load this file as a virus. Otherwise, that means your AV ain't what you are looking for and you better find a better one.

A Warning From Clixsense

It was just recently that Clixsense made some announcements and some, shall I say, enlightening information. Although this PTC site has been on business for a while now, they still are opting for for further improvements in their website and services - in general, the business.

Here are their advices:

First, they had some issues with proxy servers, and as a solution to that, they would be blocking some proxy addresses in the near future. However, they were open with dynamic IP addresses provided by the ISPs.

And, secondly, they had reminded the members to be careful with PTC sites. Many and so many PTC sites were reported to be bogus and has been tricking people for money. The most important thing between the PTC site and the members are the accounts that connects the two in to conduct business. If these accounts are disclosed, many could possibly happen, and one of the great events would be loss of profit.

The image below is the complete message rendered by Clixsense. This reminder may also serve as a warning to everybody so as to keep their guard up, especially when you care about your investment, business, and information.

This is a nice move from Clixsense. And, the promised more improvements to come is very much awaited, especially to the members. Kudos to Clixsense.

Being one of the avid members of Palmbux, I also have my Personal Settings changed, as shown in the image above, which is in accordance to what admin have warned. Security is relatively needed as rampant attacks in the internet are not uncommon. Also, do not forget to enter your current password to save changes in your account.

Registation And Password

The other day, admin announced that some minor problems were now resolved. It may be some effects from the recently DDoS attack. Although, no damage done to accounts and other important files and scripts, having highly security is required.

Here's what admin said:

Dear member,

The past 2 days, password reset doesn't work. And, newly registered members did not get their verification email. Now, both problems are solved.

I also want to mention again that you have to add a secondary password and PIN.
If your account will be hacked and you lost money because you didn't add those things - we wont refund any money.

Best regards,
admin

12th Dec: Password reset & Registration.


Join me at PALMBUX!

It's good news to hear that those problems are already resolved. It would prevent distrust for new comers. Also, a good reminder from admin is to add further security to one's account. I think that would increase safety for all member. Palmbux is a great PTC.

What Happened to V3?

A celebration of Palmbux of its success when it started way back a year ago. Along with the news was the announcement of running the new Palmbux version V3. The much awaited new Palmbux site. With this new hard-worked place to continue business with it, a new and elegant V3 went online. Lots of members were excited and happy about this.

Here's the forum discussion of V3 launch.
Finally V3.

After the success of the release of V3 online , the real testing of the new site was on, testing the features with the current numbers of members Palmbux have. With lots of people using the net, many possibilities could have happened. And, an announcement was made today from admin. Three days have passed and bugs were found in V3. Many features were damaged due to a DDoS Attack. With the decisive team, Palmbux used the former version while bugs were to be resolved.

Here's what admin said:
We' re already working on the problems of V3

Dear member,

all of you recognized the problems while launching V3. First site was over 1.5 days offline because of a DDoS attack. Then we started V3 and noticed that most of our files were damaged and did not work as for example the view ads or forum page.

All important features and graphics were lost because of this attack. We decided to change to V2 and fix these problems on V3. Right now we' re already working on all these bugs to start V3 in a full working version again.

I just can say sorry - But we will launch V3 and this time it will be big.

Best regards,
admin

Here's the forum discussion on this problem.
8th Dec: Where is V3?

It is a better to use the former version while having the bugs of the new version get fixed. A nice move from the Palmbux Team. Hopefully this would not last so long, as features related to ads were also affected in the former version.

No cash during Cashout!

A few days have passed since the return of Palmbux with its new server. A message from Palmbux Team proudly announcing the success of the transfer to the new server. Refer to my previous post for info about this. Palmbux is back!

As was claimed, there still have some minor problems that are needed to b resolved. Now, one of the problems, which I noticed when I was about to cashout, a prompt appeared that surprised me with its message. All payments are currently disabled. I was about to send a support ticket when I browsed at the forum for info and I saw a post about it. I knew that it only did not happened to me.

View this post for info. What Happened To cashout?

Although, I'm not dismayed for not having some cashout today, I knew they won't keep my earned money. This might have been temporarily disabled due to some minor problems that are to be resolved. I think this is a good move from the Palmbux Team to prevent further bigger problems which might arise when money is on the line.

Cross Browser Security

This feature have been running in Palmbux for a while now. I just thought this might be nice to post this pretty feature, yeah I find this nice. This is called the Cross Browser Session Tracking which was just implemented last September, which is one of the new security measures of Palmbux.

How would this work?
Simple.. If one would try to log-in with different browsers at the same time, it would be detected. And the outcome, would be a 30-minute ban from logging in Palmbux.

What should be done?
Now, all members are requested to follow one usage guidance after logging in, it is to click 'Log Out' before leaving PalmBux site.

Here's the full forum discussion.
Topic: MUST See - New Security implemented.

This feature might be a little bothersome if you forgot to click the Log Out link.. Actually, I was banned for once, and had learned my lesson.. It's funny when at the same time you were banned, referrals would be available, or bonus ads would come out.. It really pays to follow rules, sometimes, lolz.. But recently, I have noticed that this feature might have been lessen the degree of banning.. If you let your opened account left for a few more minutes without activities in it, the feature of auto-logout would override, and when you try to access the site, you'll be prompted with the login page without the 30 minute ban. Well, maybe I have just left the site unattended more than the alloted banned time, so that's what has prompted me..
