Is your Windows or Mac running slow? Or maybe it's your web browser? If the answer is yes, then you're reading the right post - it'll help you to not only just free up valuable hard disk space, but to optimise your system allowing your windows or Mac to run faster. The simple to use applications suggested below will clean traces of your online activities, such as your internet history, and the best part is that it's fast (normally taking less than a second to run) and contains NO Spyware or Adware!


Windows users:

Ccleaner

CCleaner (which is generally understood to stand for 'Cr*p Cleaner'!) removes all sorts of data that might block up your system. The program is developed to clear your browser cache, empties your recycling bin and clipboard, deletes temporary files and straightens the disaster that is the Windows registry. Click here to download Ccleaner.

 


Mac users:

Onyx

OnyX is a free system-maintenance and customisation app for Mac OS X. Just like Windows machines, Macs are susceptible to computer blockages (e.g. files from unused programs, caches, etc.) that take up space and slow down your computer. Click here to download Onyx.

Introduction to SPF

Introduction to SPF (Sender Policy Framework)

SPF (Sender Policy Framework) is an email validation system that is designed to prevent spam emails by targeting the source of the address. An SPF tag will allow administrators to specify which host is allowed to send email from a given domain name this is done by creating a specific SPF record.

 

What does SPF actually DO?

Spam mail is created when people forge email addresses – so let’s say someone forges a hotmail.co.uk address and tries to spam you.

When the message is sent, you see MAIL FROM: <forged_address@hotmail.com> before you open the email you can ask Hotmail if the IP address comes from their network. They will then send you an email which tells you and your computer how to find out if the sending machine is authorised to send mail from Hotmail.

If Hotmail says they recognise the sending machine, it passes, and you can assume the sender is who they say they are. If the message fails SPF tests, it's a forgery. That's how you can tell it's probably a spammer.
