So the Department for Work and Pensions  (DWP) is moving to an open source model, eh (DWP to trial 1,000 open-source desktops)? I guess they’re not seeing the ROI on their current infrastructure. Although it does become hard to find an R when there’s no I involved. Seriously, I mean IE6? Is that in conjunction with Office 97 or Office XP? No wonder we’ve got security issues if DWP is standardised on that model.

Wake up and don’t bother wasting your time and our data security for a year because let’s face it, you won’t actually go open source. Stop playing around and invest a little in your infrastructure. Windows 7 is more secure than XP, and with IE10 out for testing, the fact that the DWP still uses IE6 is a disgrace.

I’m Syrian from Damascus and I'd like to tell you some facts (Is Assad a Mac or a PC?). Syria is extremely calm except in some rural areas where armed people supported by Turkey, the US, France and your country are killing innocent security people and soldiers every day. Some 6,000 have been killed or injured over the past eight months.

Yes, there are some demonstrations but that’s no excuse to abuse our wonderful leader.

This is a widespread scam and I am aware of dozens of cases a week being reported in the Southwest (Windows users targeted in phone scam). It is also reported that some people have each received two or three calls from the “company” over a few days. 

The first person will be the “sales pitch”. If they get a positive response from the victim, he or she is put through to a “technical expert” who guides the victim through various logs in order to identify “the virus”.  The victim is then directed to a web site where they download a remote access tool that gives the perpetrators of this scam access to their computer.

If readers do get a call like this one, just say, “I do not have a computer.”
