This price increase is global and the increment will be 7% for .COM domains and 10% for .NET domains. This increase will be passed on to domain registrars and unfortunately, to consumers like you. The price increase is for new registration and renewal of current holding domains of yours.

We understand your need for these domains and we understand that the price increment might be too sudden for you to take action with it, so, in order to smoother the price increase, we will NOT make any changes to our prices for the .COM and .NET domains until August 1st, 2010, and during this time, you still get to enjoy the same price for your new registration or renewal for the .COM and .NET domains.

Yes, we are absorbing the price increment for ONE whole month and as many domains as you need!

Do act now before we increase our price too and you can even purchase or renew for multiple years to lock in long-term savings. Don’t wait to pay more.

Contact us here and tell us which domains you are eyeing on and we’ll give you a quotation for it.

Our new office address is now at:-

10 Ubi Crescent, #06-72 (opp. #06-70)

The WORM component spreads through computer devices that are detected by infected systems and will automatically execute an autorun.inf file as soon as a user activates an infected device. In addition, the malware deploys a stealth technique by using a rootkit component to prevent itself from being discovered.

The main payload of this attack is an URL to establish a connection to a malicious website that may enable cyber-criminals to gather information and to further compromise an infected system.

“It signals the Government’s ongoing committment to help businesses create a pro-family environment for Singapore and reaffirms the Government’s goal in making Singapore the best place for families and children,” said Mrs Mildred Tan, Co-chair of Business For Families Council (BFC).

Businesses can apply for funding support to help defray costs incurred in infrastructure, traning and business consultancy to make their business more family-friendly. Since introduced in 2007, 30 buinesses have received funding support under the grant.

This scheme was actually enhanced in January 2010 to allow firms to claim up to 70% instead of 50%, of the costs incurred in adopting family-friendly measures for customers.

Car Times human resource manager Agnes Cheng said the local car dealership plans to use the grant to make showrooms safer for children and more comfortable for the elderly, who sometimes accompany their customers.

For more information regarding the grant, please visit Business for Families Grant website.

To determine whether you are eligible for the grant, let’s go through the following checklists:-

• Are you a GST-registered merchant/trader?
• Are you still using Microsoft Excel and NOT using any other proper accounting software for your accounting and book-keeping function?
• Are you pondering over the possible purchase of an accounting software but was put back by its high cost?
• Do you wish that the Singapore government will help you to fund part of your accounting software purchase in order to lighten up your load?

If you answer ‘Yes’ to every one of the question above, you are in luck!!

Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore (IDA) and Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (IRAS) has partnered with each other and spearhead a new government grant called the Accounting Software Assistance Scheme.

This scheme will be valid only from July 1st, 2009 to March 31st, 2012 and it is to encourage businesses to implement accounting software so that SMEs can improve their record keeping practises and GST (Goods & Services Tax) compliances.

This scheme will be helping the SMEs to defray the cost of purchasing and setting up of the accounting software, as well as training on the use of the software.

For more information regarding this scheme, please feel free to contact us. We’ll be able to assist you from the initial consultation to the implementation and the final training and application for the scheme.

The email should like something like this:

The fake alert informs recipients that as part of a “State Vaccination H1N1 Program” they need to create a profile on the CDC Web site. The link in the e-mail goes to a fake CDC page where the visitor is assigned a temporary ID and a link to a vaccination profile that is actually an an executable file containing a copy of the Kryptik Trojan targeting Windows, according to an AppRiver blog post on Tuesday.

The link was embedded on the webpage and looks like this:-

Once installed, “this Trojan will create a security-free gateway on your system and will proceed to download and install additional malware without your authorization,” the post warns. “It also enables a remote hacker to take complete control of your computer. This malware can log your typed keystrokes and send confidential personal and financial data (including banking information, credit card numbers, and website passwords) to a remote hacker.

According to AppRiver, the fake CDC email was dispatched at a rate of nearly 18,000 messages per minute, approximately 1 million in the first hour alone.

the fake CDC email was dispatched at a rate of nearly 18,000 messages per minute, approximately 1 million in the first hour alone.

The worst part of it is, according to Symantec, the landing page that the link led to contained a hidden iFrame that pointed to a site hosted in Ukraine. The iFrame checks to see if the system is running an unpatched version of Adobe Reader, Acrobat or Flash Player and if so it uses an exploit to download a file to the system.

Do be aware that these sort of phishing sites and emails are on the rise and there’ s no way for you to know them all, and usually by the time you know it, you’ll be another statistic in the number of victims. I recommend that if you do not have a proper firewall or antivirus software install right now, please get one immediately.

We have been selling AVG Internet Security and Antivirus software all this while and so far, lots of my customers just love it for its low cost, low maintenance and also low resource hogging. Get your AVG Internet Security now.
