Just ran that Norton scan, says high risk but can be fixed by paying for one of their products... AVG says I'm fine..

yeah ignore the risk thing.

basically it does not accept competitor AV and tries to sell you ours.

(hey we gotta get paid somehow)

but the scan works well as a secondary check if your not sure.

Find these two and you will find Angus & Natasha

nah they are criminals with class.

Carders are the lowest of low as no skill, buy some credit card numbers online, code onto a blank card buy shit. any idiot can do it.

phishers for bank details next lowest as it it take is some-one to click a dodgy link in an email.

there is a definite rank of computer criminals.

well these guys knew what they were doing. Opening two new bank accounts, hiding them within options & transferring money from my accounts into them.

They moved three transactions on the 27th, 29th & 4th. So there would have been multiple logins before I logged in to see the mess.

Didnt help that I was in the middle of refinancing & loan applications which had money moving & new accounts popping up (offset accounts, loan accounts etc)

till work gave me a free subscription for home usage I used the free ones as well.

nothing wrong with them that's for sure.

but like all AV the important thing is how often you update them.

I had mine set to check updates every 6 hours.

default was every day at 2 am and my PC was usually off then so I could fall behind.

Ah k so the AVG free stuff is fine?

I've never really had an issue, only time I ever had a virus was years and years ago back in the counter strike/clan days... a mate I used to play CS with who was also a program developer or some shit, sent me a program he'd made to sus out over MSN... exe file... Thought nothing of it coming from him obviously, but turns out he'd been hacked or something and it wasn't him sending it... Lost pretty much everything as soon as I opened the file...

Since then never had an issue, and I buy shit online flat out..

so this is dependent on how they got access to your account.

eg making it simple if you gave a friend the login as you weree away from a computer and they did the dodgy, that's not the banks fault is it.

they will do an investigatoiona nd work this out, don;t expect the cash back in a day or 2 it usually takes a couple weeks.

re "hacking" a bank it does not happen.

what happens is that they get access to your account usually by you logging into the bank from an un secured computer eg a communal pc at a internet cafe/work site that some-onme has put a trojan on.

or more commonly your PC has been compromised (first thing is to run a good scan on that)

this is why banks are moving to things like One Time Passowrds for banking log in:

eg

https://vip.symantec.com/

SO it's something you know, eg your password plus something you have (a phone with an app on it) thus 2 factor authentication rather than a simple password

or more more important accounts (or dealing with governments) something like PKI using Hardware tokens:

http://www.symantec.com/managed-pki-service/

https://www.verisign.com.au/gatekeeper/overview/

So the more of this that happens..the more work I get.

And welcome to what I do for a living.

Securing this sort of thing so it does not happen.

Sooo you gon pay back pat orrrr?

i hate the sound of hogs. its like they dont rev or have a power band. off or on. idle or loud.

Winterfest was alright. extremely poorly organised though. even the people doing the BBQ had no idea what they were doing, and they werent volunteers! (food was good, just the ladies running the show)

The sound is better when driving it and knowing that it's running smooth and that it's not just the sound of a shifty engine, except that the EJ20 is a shitty engine

As for Harley's, that's all about attention

Anyone good with basic legal advice, mainly concerning defamation?

I took my car to a local tyre place to have my guards rolled, and it was subsequently damaged after they used a trolley jack to lift it without any sort of adapter or rubber pad.

Now I don't want to put them out of business or slander them, but I do feel its necessary for others to know what happened, especially after I they refused fixing it, or any sort of reimbursement.

Can/should you name businesses online and post what happened, or can it land you in trouble?

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
