Re: [ Extreme] Rogers e-mail, infringing copyright
same person(remembered pass)
I dont think it is. They tell me about the EUA and AUP. I highly doubt it would be fake.
But this whole thing is confusing
this is how it ends off:

| Some observations/questions:
First, there is a trial version of VisualRoute available for download and a 15-day use. No cost. So why there would even need to be a crack applied is kind of beyond me. You download the trial, you determine if you like it or not, and then you either buy it or you don't and unload it.
Second, I'd just send Rogers an email directly (not in reply to original) asking "Did you send this to me?" - actually, forwarding it would be better and see what the say?
Third - as someone else mentioned, the built-in Windows XP firewall will not stop any call home type activity by any program on your computer, including outright viruses and worms. It only guards against stuff gaining unauthorized entrance. But if a program starts a comm session from inside your computer, that firewall does not alert you to it and it then allows all replies to that session in through the firewall. There are any number of firewalls that will prevent that type of thing such as ZoneAlarm, Norton Personal Firewall, Kerio, Tiny, etc. I know that ZoneAlarm has a free for personal use version available simply for the asking.

1 edit | I agree on the matter of the cracks .. most Visual... Software has a demo/trial version.
Knowing Rogers, it's pointless contacting them. Their organisation is a maze of twistly little passages all alike. So there's no guarantee that any attempt to contact them will end up with someone who has a clue. |
