AntiMalware Doctor Helped a friend out when this little nasty struck last week. It's a piece of malware masquerading as anti-virus software. They could not access the internet, programs kept hanging, it took hours for him to fix it. Makes $70 for a good security suite seem paltry by comparison.

REPOST: Special ends tomorrow! The BEST Book on Selling I have Ever Read. Is How To Sell - Clear and Simple by Harry Frisch. Just received this from a newly graduated lawyer to whom I gave a copy of the book in exchange for some work she did for me: Hey Tom! I finished that book "How to Sell". What a ripper! It was really good. Thanks. Sarah Because I had read it some years ago and purchased a few, I am entitled to a current "buy one get one free" offer. I passed along Sarah's endorsement and asked if I could extend the buy one, get one free offer to you and Nancy said yes. So if you are looking for a great present for someone in sales (it could even be for you) get along to http://www.HowToSellClearAndSimple.com/order.html. Be sure to use the Promo Code TomsBOGOFO ("Tom's Buy One, Get One Free Offer"). For each copy ordered for $29.95 US (plus S&H), they'll ship you TWO! |
