USC Password Security Storage System Light Version 2.6 is the right solution.

Since we are advised not to use the same password for different applications, many would face the difficulty to remember them. From the "Password-Plagued Workers Burden Help Desks",
.....
More than half (56 percent) of respondents said having a "master password" that replaced all other passwords would be "extremely helpful." .....

That is what my Password system is designed for. With a maximum of 999 encrypted passwords and user chosen numkey and the function to copy Login and password to clipboard, users of my system should have no trouble like those others.

I still decide to keep the price of US$ 1, although some advised me that I should raise the price to gain buyers' confidence. Perhaps I have to change my mind in the coming future.

The challenge to go online safely becomes greater.

We have faced with virus, adware, spyware etc. for some years. Most of us would take care to look for any sign of danger, yet, the bad guys are using all means to get their jobs done.

"Malware Hides Behind Legitimate Companies" stated the latest situation that many of us might not be aware of.

The same problem happened to me recently. After visiting an official site in China and searching for something, my computer was infected with a new and powerful virus that was not able to clear with anti-virus tool. With numerous trials failed, I have to install the Windows again.

A simple truth today is that all computer users must get prepared to re-install Windows because no matter how careful we are, there is always a chance to be hurt by new virus etc. Each time, they are more powerful and it is certain that they know what protection we have.

Spam is something we have to live with.

The problem about spam has been with us for years. There were many reports saying that millions or even billions dollars were lost due to spam. Some even tried to find a way to stop spam. The costing included the time of workers reading spam. Well, human is not robot and I do not think anyone can work non-stop for the entire working hours. If there were no spams, one might have something else to relax.

Of course, it is the most efficient and economic way to promote commercial or political cases. Spam does not consume any substantial materials exceed the bandwidth and perhaps the need to build more wires. No matter how, spam is environmental friendlier than any other means.

The latest information, "New twist as spammers offer to help companies cheat the stock market" indicates that spam is now employed by finance sector or perhaps criminals now move to the stock business. Some may agree with me that the only difference between fraud and stock is the commodity only. Both are the 'small fishes eaten by bigger fishes'.

May be a new name is needed for spam so that the same skill and action can be formally taken as part of the marketing and investment technique. Alternatively, we can have a certification for those who want to use email or spam to promote anything that cannot be taken as illegal.
