Is it safe to send large attachments in an Email?

If you need to send a file to someone, the first option should be an Email. But if it is large file, is it safe to send via an email? No, really not.

For security reason most of the email service provider will have message size limit otherwise the email servers bombarded with large mails and cause server down or low performance. The default sending /receiving message size limit of major email service providers are Gmail (25 MB) Yahoo Mail (25MB) and Outlook.com (10 MB).

Even though if you send large attachments via mail, there is a chance to block or bounce back your mail from recipient’s end due to restriction or limited mailbox size especially if they are using hosted solution for an email. This might also cause your mailbox to exceed the storage quota because each mail you sending will be saving on your send items.

Due to this limitation you may receive the following errors when you send large mails

• 552 Message size exceeds fixed maximum message size
• Attachment size exceeds the allowable limit
• The recipient's mailbox is full and can't accept messages now 

So sending large attachments in an email is not a best solution.

The best way to send large files over the internet is file hosting service.  It makes the process simple, you just need to upload the file and share the download links with your recipients. The recommended file hosting service is Google Drive /OneDrive because they offer good storage space (15 GB) with default file size limit (2 GB & 10 GB) for free. If you go for paid one, you will get more. Recommended to read: - Best Free Cloud-Sharing Services

Fake Flash Player Update pop up When try to access Google or Gmail

Today some of my clients had problem with accessing Google and Gmail, they were getting a message says like “WARNING! Your flash Player may be out of date. Please update to continue".

If they tried to close or OK to the pop up message it redirect them a webpage looks like adobe and prompt to download different products.

During my research I found, it is a DNS hijack. In my previous post I have explained whatis DNS hijacking and how does it work

To fix this problem, you need to check your DNS server configuration on your computer and router. For this follow the below steps

1. Open Command prompt (Start->Run->Type ‘cmd’)

2. In command prompt, type the command ipconfig /all and press enter

3. Then check the DNS server entry and if it is 23.253.94.129, no doubt that is the culprit

Now you need to remove this entry from your computer or router

Open the Control panel, then Network and Sharing Center and access the active network card properties and change DNS server address. If it is not there, you have to check router and reset the settings.  Depends on the router model, these settings may be vary. If you know your router IP, User name and password, just login and check for DNS configuration settings. 

It is highly recommend to run a deep scan with updated Antivirus program to find out the dropper files if any. All the best !!!

Share your comments about this new threat if you are aware of it.

The New Moto 360 Smartwatch – Just Another Drop in the Smartwatch Sea or A Wave of Its Own?

The smartwatch craze is still officially on the rise and it seems that every techie-tuned company wants to cash-in on the newfangled futuristic stylings of wristwatches that do more than the run-of-the-mill tick-tocking. It wasn’t too long ago that the Galaxy Gear and the new Pebble Steel smartwatches were released, ingratiating some generally positive reviews in their own right. But the ever evolving, ever creatively steadfast Motorola Company is anteing-up with a new glamorous gizmo, a revisit from its previous foray into the smartwatch game (i.e., the Moto 360’s less charming older brother, the Moto Actv) that may help to take smartwatch dynamics to a new level. Let’s take a look at the details!

Moto 360 Functionality

One of the coolest aspects of the Moto 360 is that it will be completely compatible with hosting all Android Wear featuring, supporting everything that Android Wear does on top of additional customized notifications, voice action commands and stacked cards. That being said, the 360 will be synergistic with Android devices running 4.3 or higher. It’s battery-life is apparently very solid as well, and although the word isn’t completely out yet, there seem to be some interesting developments concerning the 360’s method of battery charging. Motorola isn’t saying how the 360 will charge itself just yet, but it can be assumed that the smartwatch will utilize something along the lines of inductive charging, void of needing a USB port. Plus, when one physically observes the Moto 360, no trace of external charging points can be found. This will definitely add a lot of extra hype and a few bonus points on the chic, fashionable factor scale.

It’s worth noting that there is no camera function on the Moto 360. But don’t be too surprised. Every gizmo nowadays has a camera, but apparently when it comes to smartwatches, users just aren’t interested in a photo-taking functionality being present. People just want the watch to give them their desired information at a quick glance, nothing more. Keeping in step with this concept, the Moto 360 scrolls its notifications vertically versus horizontally like most others like the Sony SmartWatch 2. Its believed that a vertical scroll will offer more ease and fluidity to visualization and reading.

The Moto 360’s Design

Motorola designers wanted to achieve some specific upgrades with the 360 that just aren’t present or up to par in other smartwatches. Firstly, there’s the actual rounded shape of the watch-face. This is more than just a fashion choice as it allows for a more spacious viewing surface area and offers more wrist comfort than the pointed boxy watch-faces. The attributed Android Wear notifications are specifically better-suited for a rounded watch-face than a squared one as it pointed attracts the users eyes to the center of its screen. Plus, it really does look cool.

The watch bands themselves will be interchangeable, and having learned from previous smartwatch models it has been observed that this is a more important issue than one might immediately assume. Personalization and comfort are crucial, and Motorola designers have given that a bright spotlight and allowed for easily swapped-out wrist-bands made from premium quality materials.

Granted this dedication to comfort and upper-tier quality, one shouldn’t expect that the Moto 360 will be a moderately priced item. This techie titan was pieced together from the bottom up with carefully crafted concepts of customization, including special screens, various parts and internal chips. High quality leather and metals are incorporated to allow for not only a highly functional, but fashionable piece of merchandise. But not just so for a specific target audience of potential buyers, but everyone. One of the failings of the overall smartwatch push is that these products tend to lean toward the bulkier side, making them a bit more cumbersome for the female wrist. The Moto 360 seeks to achieve the proper balance of fit to accommodate a wider demographic.

Release Date and Other Specifics

No official release date has been made available just yet aside from the vague ‘summer of 2014 or beyond’ timeframe. As for the price of the Moto 360, this remains to be a mystery as well, but it’s easily assumed it’ll cost a pretty shiny penny given the materials and design put into it creation. Also, surprisingly there is not much to be said about the internal workings of the device either. No details concerning processors or memory have been outlined just yet. Some things remain yet to be seen, but it’s certainly something to set your timer for while we look at the clock and wait patiently.

How to remove Voga 360 pop up ad from desktop?

Recently I start to get an email asking about the removal instruction of Voga 360 pop up ad from the desktop.  When I talk to these clients, I understand that they are using an app called Mobogenie, which is the most trending free app from Voga 360 making this problem. Even they removed this app, they are getting same pop up message which is annoying and will not let you close that pop up window.

When I search in Internet, I understood that Voga 360 is an app store from where you can download Hot Apps, Popular Games, Cool Ringtones, and Beautiful Wallpapers for your Android Mobile Phone for Free. But   I am not sure why it shows this kind of bad behavior may be because of improper installation/Un installation of the apps which download it from their website.

I suggested my clients to follow the below steps to remove this ad from the desktop which resolved the issue.

1. Open Add/rem programs and uninstall Mobogenie

2. Open Task Manager and find the process DaemonProcess.exe and right click and End Process

3. Navigate to C:\Program files and rename the folder Mobogenie to DELETE and restart the computer

4. After restart go to C:\Program files delete the renamed Mobogenie folder

From there you will not get the Voga 360 pop up any more. I personally using Mobogenie on my computer for a quiet long time and I did not face any problem with it. Those who know more about this app, you can share it with us on comments.
