BigDadSearch Homepage Hijacker Infection Removal

Author: admin / Category: Community Service, Handy Tips

One of our visitors is infected by the BigDadSearch hijacker software, so I thought I would post this information to help them (and possibly others that might be infected by the malware).

  1. Install Spybot search and destroy
  2. Use the advanced settings
  3. Go to Tools
  4. List BHO’s
  5. Bigdadsearch.com BHO is listed there
  6. Just delete it
  7. Problem solved.

BTW neither scanning with Avira Antivirus or Spybot showed the Bigdadsearch.com as a problem.

Not Receiving Our Newsletter?

Author: admin / Category: Handy Tips, Newsletter, The Lynes' Roar

Please White-list newsletter@eaglequestproperties.com to Ensure that You Don’t Miss a Single Issue of The Lynes’ Roar.

We find that sometimes our e-mail newsletters are mistakenly blocked by Internet Service Providers (ISPs) as “spam” or unsolicited and unwanted e-mails because they are sent to multiple recipients at the same time. Spam has become such a big problem, that ISPs have put blocking and filtering systems in place to keep these messages out. But sometimes, they inadvertently block messages that you want or have elected to receive from trustworthy senders.

The format and subject matter of our e-mails sometimes cause them to be blocked or filtered out, and we believe this information is much too important for you to miss.

One way to prevent this is to “white-list” us with your ISP by adding newsletter@eaglequestproperties.com to your e-mail address book and Safe List. Here are instructions to do so for some of the most popular ISPs. If yours is not among them, please check with your ISP to ensure that they understand that you requested and subscribed to these e-mails and you want to receive them.

Find instructions for your ISP or software by clicking on your e-mail provider:

Other Email Applications

Many popular e-mail programs, including Outlook, Outlook Express, Eudora, and Netscape Mail, don’t provide a convenient way for you to white-list the addresses of the people you want to receive e-mail from. If you’re using this sort of e-mail system and you either aren’t getting your issues or want to make sure you continue to receive them in the future, you can do the following:

Contact the customer service people or the Postmaster at the company that provides your e-mail or Internet connection (your ISP). Explain to them that these are items you requested, that you subscribed to and value these e-mails and want to receive them.

Ask them how you (or they) can get them white-listed. They’ll need to know the following about us.

  • Our Sending Address: If they ask for our address, give them

newsletter@eaglequestproperties.com

  • Our Domain: If they need to know the domain we’re mailing from, tell them

http://eaglequestproperties.com/

  • Our IP Address: If they ask for our sending IP address, tell them 76.74.137.144.

On the Preferences tab, under E-mail, click Junk E-mail.
Click the Safe Senders or Safe Recipients tab.
Click Add.
In the Enter an e-mail address or Internet domain name to be added to the list box, enter the name or address you want added, and then click OK.
Repeat steps 4 and 5 for each name or address that you want to add.

Notes:

If you want your Contacts to be considered safe senders, select the Also trust e-mail from my Contacts check box on the Safe Senders tab. All e-mail addresses in your Contacts folder will then be used by the Junk E-mail Filter to evaluate messages.

If you want people who are not necessarily in your Contacts but are people you correspond with regularly to be considered safe senders, select the Automatically add people I e-mail to the Safe Senders List check box on the Safe Senders tab. By default, the check box is selected. This check box is introduced with Microsoft Office 2003 Service Pack 1. To get Service Pack 1, go to Downloads on Office Online. Under Office Update, click Check for Updates.

If Automatic Picture Download is turned off, messages from or to e-mail addresses or domain names on the Safe Senders and Safe Recipients Lists will be treated as exceptions and the blocked content will be downloaded.

If you have existing lists of safe names and addresses, you can import the information into Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 by saving the list into a text (.txt) file with one entry per line, and then importing the list.

To quickly add a sender, domain name, or mailing list name to the Safe Senders or Safe Recipients Lists, right-click the message you consider safe, and then on the shortcut menu, point to Junk E-mail, and then click Add Sender to Safe Senders List, Add Sender’s Domain (@example.com) to Safe Senders List, or Add Recipient to Safe Recipients List.

If you are using a Microsoft Exchange Server e-mail account, names and e-mail addresses in the Global Address List are automatically considered safe. (The Global Address List is the address book that contains all user, group, and distribution list e-mail addresses in your organization. The administrator creates and maintains this address book. It may also contain public folder e-mail addresses.)

If you are using an Exchange Server e-mail account and working online, you must be using Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 or later. If you do not know what version of Exchange server your e-mail account is using, contact your Exchange administrator.

Thank you for white-listing newsletter@eaglequestproperties.com.

Personal Budget

Author: Daniel / Category: Handy Tips

As we’ve mentioned in previous newsletters, the setting of a personal budget is an absolute must, if you want to become successful. Without a proper budget, your cash flow is not managed properly. If your cash flow is being managed at present without a budget, it won’t remain in that position for long. The more properties you amass in your portfolio, the more important it becomes to budget (both personally, and in your business).

To get you started, there’s a fellow I met recently on Twitter. He’s in Sydney, Australia. He contributes regularly on his blog about how important a budget is. His blog is ‘I Hate Budgets‘. You can also follow him on Twitter: @BudgetDude.

Grow Op Environmental Assessment – with Video

Author: admin / Category: Handy Tips, Noxious Substances

Marijuana Grow Ops can exist in small bungalows, large two story homes, apartments and industrial units. Police forces across Canada estimate that if you take a 30 minute walk through any neighbourhood in Ontario, you will pass at least 2 Grow Ops. The environmental damage caused by growing Marijuana is not the plants themselves, rather the indoor environmental conditions required to grow Marijuana successfully. The results can be either no damage to the building at all, or extensive environmental and mould damage throughout the structure. Unfortunately, the majority of the mould growth is behind walls and inside insulation which is hidden from view.

A new challenge for contractors has sprouted with the rise of indoor marijuana grow-ops, which have left homes and industrial buildings growing with toxic mould and structurally marred.

Gaps from hacked out floorboards, dangling electrical wires and wall-to-wall mould are some of the damages a Waterloo Region contracting company has dealt with after area home-grows were shut down.

Building Inspections – Does Your Inspector Find Everything?

Author: Daniel / Category: Handy Tips

Your inspector is only human.  That being said, as meticulous as he/she might be, something might still get overlooked.  Often what can happen is your contractor might decide that they’re smarter than the inspector, and so they might try to take some shortcuts in such a way that your inspector is much less likely to find them.  One such thing is wiring the ground plug on some outlets into the return prong.  If your inspector is astute, he/she might realize something is amiss, when they look into the electrical panel, but they might not, too.

I’ve come across a site today that was pointed out by @Dirtfinder on Twitter.  It’s a good resource to see building inspectors sharing information about what they’ve learned in the trenches.  You might want to give it a gander as well…you might learn something that your inspector might not know.  You can also suggest it to your inspector so that he/she can increase their knowledge.

The website I’m talking about is “Inspection News:  Everything an Inspector Needs to Know“.
