Warning: Beware of installing "Secure Service Pack" on your computer

Warning: Beware of installing "Secure Service Pack" on your computer

 

Unless you know and understand what the "Secure Service Pack" actually consists of, we strongly recommend against installing it or anything that may popup and ask for permission from you to install it. Just because you have some trust in the site you are visiting does not mean you need or want what is being offered. If you are concerned about the security of your computer, only install things from the manufacturer's site, or the creator of your computer's operating system.

 

By the time you read this, "Secure Service Pack" may be called something else, so don't be fooled. Our understanding of this item is that it installs software that changes how your browser functions and you may or may not like what it does. You may be able to un-install it once you realize it's there, but do you want to trust something that will not even tell you what it is?

 

"Secure Service Pack" sounds like it's a Microsoft Service Pack that will upgrade your software, but in fact the software is designed to deliver advertisements in the form of web sites that you may be interested in. Part of the "benefit" of this software is to let you just type in keywords and not URLs to find sites. What they don't tell you is that they only sites they show you are paid advertisements and may or may not be what you are looking for, and might not even be a good site if they do have what you are looking for. It's the same old "Keyword browsing" scam that has been around for years. It's pure crap and should be avoided at all costs. Seriously!

 

I have seen at least one page that has a number of browser plug-ins and says " This page contains links to the Windows Authenticode family of plugins for Internet Explorer". If you want to upgrade your Internet Explorer, go to the Microsoft site and make sure you are getting the real deal.

 

Again, if you don't know for sure what you are installing, don't just trust the name of the application that you see, since it could be a trick and your anti-virus and anti-spyware programs WILL NOT PROTECT YOU OR WARN YOU!!

Legal Matters Client Newsletters Now Available for Real Estate Lawyers

Legal Matters Client Newsletters Now Available for Real Estate Lawyers

BOSTON, Oct. 18 /PRNewswire/ -- Real estate lawyers around the country can now use Legal Matters -- high-quality personalized client newsletters -- to easily and effectively market their practices.

Lawyers Weekly Publications recently launched a real estate version of the newsletters to help lawyers in this booming practice area keep in touch with clients and prompt new business and referrals.

Lawyers Weekly also offers versions geared to estate planning, family law, personal injury (in English and Spanish), employment law, and general practice.

Lawyers can mail the quarterly Legal Matters newsletters to clients and former clients, make them available in their waiting room, hand them out at seminars, and otherwise use them to get their name out.

"For lawyers, the best source of new business is your current and former clients," says Paul Boynton, publisher of Legal Matters. "Client newsletters encourage this business by keeping the lawyer 'top of mind,' enhancing the lawyer's reputation as an expert, and informing clients about reasons to see them that they might not have been aware of."

"Most lawyers are way too busy to create their own regular newsletter," says Boynton. "So we do it for them, and make it easy."

The Legal Matters newsletters have the law firm's name and contact information designed into them. They are produced in full color on high- quality paper stock. They also include an online version, which a law firm can add to its website or distribute via e-mail.

"Lawyers Weekly is dedicated to helping lawyers succeed, not just with information, but with marketing resources as well," says Boynton. "Legal Matters newsletters have been successful for us because they work for law firms."

Lawyers can learn more about Legal Matters by calling (800) 444-5297, x 8161, or visiting http://www.lawyersweekly.com/newsletters.

Lawyers Weekly, with its seven statewide legal newspapers as well as a national newspaper, a books division, four medical law reports, and three publications for in-house lawyers, is the nation's premier source of legal information for practicing attorneys. Lawyers Weekly leads the industry in integrating traditional newspaper products with a variety of other valuable services for lawyers.

It is a division of closely-held Dolan Media Company, based in Minneapolis, which operates daily and weekly law and business newspapers in 21 U.S. metro markets.
