It's true or it's a hoax?
A message circulating rapidly via social media messages and e-mail alerts users to watch for messages with an attachment called "Windows Live Update" because it contains the most destructive computer virus. The virus has been classified by Microsoft as the most destructive virus that has ever existed. There he was discovered by McAfee in 2013 and announced by CNN.
If you want to go to McAfee Microsoft, or even google it. Never download a "fix" for a problem you don't have.

'Apple ID is locked' authentic email or hoax?
I received an email claiming to be from Apple asking me to click on a link to verify my email address. After seeing the messages in discussion referring to the previous hoaxes I'm now paranoid about this type of email, true however it may appear ([email protected] address, etc.). Please notify. Copy of the email below:
Dear customer,
We just need to verify that this address belongs to you.
Just click on the link below and sign in with your Apple ID and password.
Ask yourself why you got this email?
It is sent when someone adds or modifies a contact for an Apple ID account email address
If you don't do this, don't worry. Your email address cannot be used as a contact address for a
Apple ID without your control.
It's a scam. If you want to check your ID Apple go directly to http://appleid.apple.com . If your ID has been blocked for security reasons that you would not get an email on this subject, you would like to know when you tried to connect and will then need to contact Support. There are different variations of this type of email (and scams "you have a virus"): never to clock on a link or a telephone number in email or pop-ups in this type of follow-up. And although Apple have apple.co.uk they always send emails of apple.com - it's very easy to simulate the address 'From' on an email.

Raak kwaad? BBM is close for 24 hours. It starts with your dp does not change not all your contacts disappear then your phone gets wiped. If you bc this message and code, bbm will remain as usual! Send to all the world so bad going nothing... #288GH297POBetter safe than sorry. ((Jammer julle ek haat said ook!)) Said het met gebeur said wat almal denies ge bc het nieIts true that I google it
I've never known BlackBerry BBM messages any (broadcast or otherwise) about anything at all. All these messages that you receive, IMHO, would be a hoax perpetrated by a user (probably a BBM contact of yours, or at least reproduced by them), not something official BlackBerry.

I'm buying a new MacBook to replace my mid-2010 MacBook Pro 2.4 GHz Intel core 2 duo, 4 GB of memory, which always runs, but becomes slow. I don't think I need retina display (if I have a lot of photos and films on the subject), but I was told that the MacBook Pro without screen retina was an old system that Apple could not support much longer. Is this true?
Barbara cfrompa says:
but I was told that the MacBook Pro without screen retina was an old system that Apple could not support much longer. Is this true?
Apple only can answer such a question, and the terms of use for these forums discourage us discuss what Apple plans to do.
I too have a MBP 2010. I installed an SSD and that increased performance. Consider that as an option.
You may experience other problems that slows down your MBP. Before commit you the important cash for a new MBP, examine the potential software problems that may be responsible for the poor performance. With the SSD, my 2010 works better than the day he came out of the box.
Ciao.
